Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

I don't know where we're going, but I know where I am (part 6).

    Cooking burgers for the eight year old and myself. Snuck some onions, oats and mushrooms in to the patty.
    Top quality parenting right there.

    Fell asleep on the couch, woke up feeling like someone smacked me in the face. Had a Lemsip and now I'm hiding from the plumber. I may have sent him a drunk text last year after he had a look at my boiler telling him he was handsome :p

    So it’s not only me!
    Every time I text the plumber I spend ages wording it so there can be no misunderstanding and I don’t ask him to come service my boiler :pac:

    I have a quite elderly client, old people for some reason love me. Probably because I think the 70/80 year old generation are pure hardy, like you should see some of those elderly women battling you to get on the train first, id be stepping out of their way fairly lively because I wouldn’t fancy my chances going up against them. Anyway, I love talking, and hearing stories about things I can only imagine - outside bathrooms, not allowed work when you get married. In fact my most favorite old lady, If she was still alive she’d be over 90, told me how when her kids were in school she took a job as a cleaner, and her husband didn’t know nor would he have allowed it. This was back when married women didn’t work. She worked for over 30 years part time without him ever realizing. When he died she had money to build a huge extension. She always told me never get married because you don’t need a license to have sex anymore. Towards the end of her life she sometimes referred to herself by her maiden name. Honestly, I would say she’d have been the first one out to burn her bra nowadays and I always felt a bit sorry that she didn’t get to live the life she would have loved to live (if she was born in my time).

    Anyyyway.
    My elderly client today told me she loves coming into me because I’m always in a good mood and she always feels younger leaving, awww. I was so happy hearing that although I am Lexie Rantypants. I am certainly not always in a good mood but I am happy to hear she walks out feeling a bit better than she did walking in and sure isn’t that what it’s all about!


    At home wondering if I Need to work on liking gen pop as much as I like elderly and dogs.

    Home at last. Takeaway with me. Only soup and sandwiches today, but did the trick. Wet gear hanging up to dry out. Mrs G not impressed.:eek: Equipment unloaded, stripped of its wet protection stuff, checked and packed away. I opened the fridge and grabbed a beer. Lovely! Working from home tomorrow and as its mid term, its not a school night.:D

    Happy birthday to whoever is celebrating this week.
    Had a rough old day, working outside, started off OK but got worse as it went on.
    Had two cows calved today so work, home, work, home and got wet, between work and calving had to change twice. Then got a phone call this evening from a neighbour, he had a cow got her head stuck in a gate and we had to cut her out and she was going mad and driving the rest of his cattle mad too.
    Anyway, reclining now watching Liverpool, I'm wrecked.
    If ever a beer was needed it's now, but settling for a lovely cup of Lyons tea and a cardboard cracker.

    Posts like this make me glad my father got out of sucklers a few years ago. Been there, done that & destroyed the tee-shirts Edward.

    I only have eight to calve, Its just a hobby really.
    5 done only 3 to go. My young lad is not a bit interested in it either so I'll have to soldier on for another few years myself.
    I love it though. Pass no heed on my giving out.
