Good afternoon everyone how are we today then? Hope everyone is doing good despite the circumstances and political climate we live in. It certainly is torrid times. The difference between America and the UK is there are very very few supporters of the prime minister even the ones who elected him have turned their backs on him whilst Over There There is obviously a massive support for Trump. It matters not both are unwanted and certainly have crazy ways of governing we shall just need to see what happens. Julie has gone down to see Amy and Elouise today. They are going out for a mew so it's really pointless me going for a plate of dribbling mince or soup! Mind you to be honest today's dinner consists of soft noodles. Just finished polishing up the conservatory furniture it's sanded down well and Danish oil up really nice don't know if anyone has seen it, but I have just finished watching the Diplomat the second series absolutely riveting. Apart from that not a lot to tell you really over here full stop it is overcast but dry at the moment full stop my knee is giving me a little bit of painless morning but nothing spectacular apart from that I'm on top of the world hope everyone is okay in the illness and ailments gang take care and look after yourselves

We’re the illness & ailment gang for sure! I have not seen The Diplomat, but I will take it as a recommendation, Mick.
I guess it would be pretty frustrating to watch other people eat if you can’t eat that good food.
Your furniture must really shine now! You take good care of things.
That’s where the British people are a little savvier: they know they made a mistake with who they voted in, but our Trump followers are cult-like.
That’s funny that you forgot your anniversary -but I can see that it doesn’t matter much since it marks only 12 years, and you’ve been together for more like 30!

PQ, it’s almost Friday! One more day in the work week.

I have my electrodes on now for my home Neuropathy Recovery Program. I have two hours per day of electrodes and red light therapy.

Lav, yes I agree that our democracy is now at risk. This is bad. Did you skip Longwood Gardens? What a shock to go to bed thinking that Harris would take your state, and then getting the shock that Trump took it in the morning! My daughter that I wasn’t sure about DID vote for Harris! So that’s three out of four daughters with good heads on their shoulders, and only one who may have been influenced to the dark side by her husband.

I had some windows measured for window treatments this morning! In my bedroom and the dining room.

Ta-ta for now!

Good evening everyone,

I’m trying real hard to adjust to this new reality but it’s not easy when your phone is blowing up all day with texts from concerned friends & relatives. We all feel the same way but our hands are more or less tied. I just cannot believe how stupid so many people were in voting for the felon/pig. What were they actually thinking?
we took a trip to Costco today to buy the usual stuff we get there. Right inside the door was a huge display of new, bigger air fryer ovens for $99. The next thing I knew one was in the cart haha!!I don’t mind giving up a few more inches of counter space to get a much bigger cooking area. Came home, plugged it in & roasted a half turkey breast - came out perfect!!

Mick, glad you’re keeping busy & I’m sure the girls had a nice outing with Elouise.
I’ve been having all kinds of extra aches & pains the past few days, could` be due to the extra stress. I’m sitting here now watching an episode if Sister Boniface. She’s a pice of work, LOL

Slo, I hope the electrodes & red light therapy give you some relief! I’m always fascinated by modern day therapies.good `that 3. Out of 4 daughters voted for the right person, sad we got the results we did though. We did go to Longwood Gardens yesterday, it was a good distraction for a few hours. All the improvements they are making are amazing, something to see for sure. What kind of window treatments are you getting?

Hello to PQ, Cyn, Pie & everyone.
Have a good night all!
