What is it with people?
Lovely evening and sweet music playing. Herself is watering the new plants in the front garden and is off tomorrow to help with her Mum’s 80th. birthday. I have to say that I love my wife to bits - and we discussed this phenomenon yesterday. We decided it’s because we are friends first. It’s good, though.
A funny day today. Odd e mails to answer, odd stuff to do in the village. BUT - cheese fondue for lunch. Oh do I love that.
So why is the world full of idiots? Example 1 - Mail shot from Staples - where we have a business account - and we liked the Toshiba laptop. Phone up, give credit card details. Mail shot says free next day delivery. No. Call a few days later - where laptop? Not availbale. But I ordered it and ‘he’ said it would be shipped. Nope. Cancel order? Nope. And etc. And etc. Phoned today - Toshiba will deliver it in 2 / 3 days. Stupid.
Example 2 - Nationwide Bldg. Soc. Don’t ask. 3 phone calls and the last one hung up on me. Fourth one - get some sense. AAaarrggh.
Now I’ve been to the gym Monday and Wednesday. Increased my work on each machine every time. And now I ache everywhere. Should I go there tomorrow? Pls vote yes or no. I#ll do what you say.
Dad’s last word?
Just for one day you will not be afraid.
Just for one day you will put your past into its place - in the past.
Just for one day you will look out for what is lovely in the world.
Just for one day you will offer friendship and beauty to others.
Just for one day you will be calm, relaxed and amiable.
You can manage that just for one day. So manage it for the next day, too.
And if you fail? No sweat. Start over again.
You know you can do it.
Love to you all - Dad

is that the super slimming kind of cheese fondue as recommended by blubbo’s school of weightloss?
i think you should go to the gym every day if you insist on a cheese fondue lunch.

‘They’ say you should only exercise on alternate days. Exercise other than your ordinary day-to-day walking and suchlike.
It would be nice to not be afraid, even if just for one day.

“Just for one day you will be calm, relaxed and amiable.”
Hmmm. That only happens when I’m not at work. Still, working towards an escape from that comfort zone, so that’ll be nice

My mum’s local bank told her that international money orders were not available any more due to ‘money laundering’
So she went into High Street branch to check, at considerable inconvenience, and the chap there said she could have a IMO any time she wanted, even from her local bank. why did the cashier lie? Cause she couldn’t be bothered to find out how to do one!!

You always have the best advice! I love your thoughts for a day……..and the next day.
I hope you and your lovely wife are well.
I have been away from the computer for a while and wanted to stop in and give my love.
Thinking of you,
