#morningcoffee is vital

One good thing about today: I found some more rat poison in the porch cupboard. #CountryLife

First #morningcoffee downed. Time for a shower now.

Cannot get into #KoL. Anyone know why? Asymmetric

I have a code for the Other Place, where the sky is blue and the clouds are a fluffy white, if anyone wants one. DM me.

I can't wait until AI prunes my shrubs, mows the grass, collects the rubbish, and cleans my house. Bring it on, Mr Musk. 🙄

Not particularly amused by having to move two very heavy, wet, garden bags which had been moved from where they were stacked, out of the way, to right in front of my gate. At least move them back when you’ve shifted your van/car!

This is the end game

On a bright, dry, promising morning like this, I do miss being able to watch the little dog bounding across fields, ears flapping. No fields now open to anyone to walk and, of course, no dog.

Ashamed, as a regular contributor to you, to see you still on Musk’s hate site. Get off X!

Low-level, continuous bass rumbling from next door has at last stopped, thank goodness. Builders are generally much quieter!

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a prime minister who didn’t throw hissy fits? Pathetic little man in short trousers. #Sunak #ElginMarbles #ParthenonMarbles #r4today

Going to university was, perhaps, not the best life choice for this person. Another year (or several) at primary school level might have been advisable.

This will be the third Christmas since my husband died. I didn’t mind the first one. I spent it alone and, while unhappy, was OK. Last year I didn’t enjoy it at all. This year, I am going to the sun, to family. It will be better. #NationalGriefAwarenessWeek

So joyful. I do hope #ShaneMacGowan and #KirstyMacColl are singing it together beyond the Pearly Gates.
