Ah brill, you are in for a great read! Hands down one of the best books I have read in recent years. I must check out Strange Weather.

TH I have two new Stephen King books to read courtesy of the Book Depository, you can't beat the free postage. Stephen King makes me so trivially happy. I have been reading his books since 1987 when my Mum got me Misery as a Christmas present.

Ooh I can’t wait to start it now!
Strange Weather is a collection of short stories, I loved the first one.

Book depository also makes me happy. Nothing better than starting a new book

Amazing Friends (capital F intentional) who go out of their way to help you. They're a blessing.

They go even higher in estimation if they provide cake.

The Friends in question already provided cake, chocolates, dinner out, offered to drive me across the country, and an hour ago offered to lengthen their journey to work by twenty miles (they already do nearly as many) to pick me up 'cause I'm going shopping. A diffent set offered to rent a van and drive to help me move when the time comes. And they all meant it.

I won't take advantage of them, but I love them to bits for offering, they've been a lifeline.

They're a keeper.

















My plan backfired though, meant if you have cake, you'd go higher up my friend list.

But you see, playing dumb and pretending not to understand pays off.

Besides, I only provide cake to my friends. And that, Teddo, in the words of Michael Kelso, is a first rate BUUUUURRRRRN!!!!! :pac:

I have 4 friends that would and have done similar for me, better than any lotto win, I'd take the proverbial bullet for them. You're very lucky NH and I genuinely appreciate mine every day.

Blessed you are.. waiting so far in vain for someone who knows I am impecuniously carless to offer a lift to the supermarkets etc!

But my good neighbour the ferryman came immediately when the gas connector failed and went to town specially next day..

Meanwhile I am setting up supply lines and rather enjoying the challenge.

Happy to have purposeful knitting that will sell to feed the really needy; been pottering at the wool for too long.... Cream cabled legwarmers for Canada..

This makes me smile and smiling is a happy..

Found my iPod nano that I hasn’t used in about two years. Still works perfect. They don’t even sell these anymore. I never see people with these, maybe gym goers use them possibly

I was using it on this bus this morning and you can change songs without looking

Tap twice for skip, tap thrice to go back. So handy

Well, I'm just happy that I found this thread. It's really given me something to smile about over the last year and a half that I've been lurking here, especially given the repeated kicks in the face in my private life. Hope you don't mind me posting more often from now on

I was given the last of us remastered as a Christmas present and I finally get to start it now.

In bed waiting for it to load, a cuppa in hand.

I could get used to this

Dishwasher fixed, repair man gone, can get back to lounging. Watching Startup with my free Amazon Prime trial

Found a box of LP's from around 50 to 60 years ago in my mother's attic!:)

This will seem shallow, but...

I woke on Monday about 9, my wife was getting ready to go to her first fitness class in a few weeks. She always does them in the mornings when I am already at work. So got to see her in yoga pants and a bra, my first sight of the week. She really is a beautiful creature!

(After 20 years together, 4 kids and lots of change, she is still perfect to me...)

Ariadne

Welcome Thomil!

That was a lovely post Dickerty, not shallow at all to think your partner of 20 years is still perfect to you

Well now my TH seems especially trivial but I got an eyeliner that has a stamp for the wing bit, I'm absolutely sh1te at putting on make up and I'm lazy so this is a great life hack for me.

Also TH because my mom is coming to greet me at arrivals and she said she's dying to see me
