Greensleeves

It doesn't help that BBC reports the war as though we are on the side of the US/Israel axis, rather than being horrified bystanders who don't want to be involved or implicated. Quite shocking that we have to go to sites like Aljazeera to get some relatively unbiased views of what's going on.

You're right, it's invariably the middle-aged & elderly who start wars which they send the young to die in.

My 5x gt grandmother Gunnil Hansdatter born 1744 Ytteroy, Nord-Trodelag, Norway. I chose her because she's got such a brilliant name. My later Norwegian ancestors have names like Barbara & Thomas & take their father's surname, so don't sound nearly as exotic! 😊

The sun is shining here this morning so it might be a pleasant dog walk. After that I'll be getting to grips with some digital mapping for various projects in our area.

Very. I wish I could run away..... I'm fed up with grown-upping when so many b'stards don't abide by the rules. I'm fed up w entitled people who think we all owe them a living.

It's not a good bit to break really is it, since just breathing puts a constant strain on any weaknesses? My worst break - I've had a few - was pelvis. Happened in 1980 & has been a bloody nuisance ever since.

Ah yes, I remember city life - staggering back from the pub, a bunch of us, and being stopped by the police who asked to look at our hands. 'If you see a group of people dripping with blood from their hands', they said, 'stay clear of them & dial 999'.

I bet he manages to make it look helluva cool... 🤣

Well how very relaxed. Here in Mid Wales below the Black Mountains our nights out generally involve walking boots, fleeces & waterproofs. And night sights to check for pumas...

In many respects probably about 13... but I do empathise. It's very important never to decide what you want to be when you grow up because if you do you get trapped. And people have Expectations.

Aren't negligees a bit 20th century? Surely everyone nowadays sleeps either naked or in PJs? Please correct me if I'm wrong so I can ensure if I don't last the night I die suitably clothed. Don't want to frighten the first responders.... 🤣

We'll be having bad dreams tonight I fear... 🤣

Naked wrestling scene from the film 'Women in Love' showing two men in half-light before a blazing log fire.

So I am right about you two reprising the wrestling scene in Women in Love then? Place your bets, ladies & gents.... 🤣

Ha ha, that made me laugh out loud! 🤣

Yes, same with me, just confirmation by x-ray & prescribed codeine & given some breathing exercises to do (ouch! ouch!) to avoid pneumonia. Horrendously painful, I wouldn't want to do that again. Glad you recovered okay!

Ooh nasty; I broke my ribs at about the same time. I was walking across a road, suddenly saw my cat playing in the traffic, missed my footing, tripped & landed on the kerb. Picked up cat (not injured), took it home & drove myself to hospital...

I suspect those fawning lackeys who surround him are his handlers & that there are background characters issuing the orders. Musk has gone very quiet...

Definitely!

Cod liver oil & malt.

I asked AI how many Reform voters does it take to change a lightbulb. The response perfectly highlights what utter nonsense both AI & Reform are... No wonder both are rapidly going down the tubes.

I'm impressed - I didn't realise you spoke Welsh... 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Good morning Kev. Looking dull & damp here. I need to fit new blinds in the kitchen; I've had them for months but not got round to it yet. It's a simple job, so no excuse.
I've got a meeting tonight which is likely to be contentious. On the plus side, it's being held in a pub 😊

Dragons are the best. My daughter was given her own dragon - Dai Dragon - when she was born, as every little Welsh girl needs her own dragon. Here's a painting of mine, entitled 'Nearly Bedtime' of her with our Siamese-tabby cat, Tora, and her toys, Dai Dragon, Teddy and Toby Dog.

Agreed. I've traced my daughter's ancestry to the Anglo Saxon nobility. None of your Norman johnny-come-lately nonsense. 🤣 Hereditary titles are absolute rubbish - particularly as most of the aristocracy are totally out of touch & probably marginally insane.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise! 💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I agree, I think most of us are wise enough to sort out for ourselves what's going on. Trump & Co are well out of their depth; they thought they could start a war in other people's countries & it would be over in 2 days & they could grab land & the oil. Things are not going to plan.

I agree. I'm really shocked at the biased news we're getting via BBC. I've been watching Al-jazeera today which has news of Iranian missiles causing huge amounts of damage in Israel. But that won't be reported, neither will the true numbers of US war dead & injured.

With good reason, I have no doubt... You're not the only one. 🤣🙄🤣

Horrible isn't it? 🤣😊🙄😀

I'm sorry but I have a confession which I can no longer keep to myself. Whenever Norbert & Kev get together, I imagine it to be something like that wrestling scene from Women in Love.....
