    Bit unfair of Glastonbury to put Dolly Parton on at 5pm yesterday, given her strict working hours.

    Yes we do. Because luckily you always seem to have enough free time on your hands to update your Facebook status each time you do something to let us know.

    The latest household name to be convicted under Operation Yewtree will probably get a token 2 or 3 year prison sentence.

    Is this what has become of justice in this country? In the good old days they'd have stuck him on the next boat to Australia.

    One way or another, all the Australians who come to work in the UK seem to wind up behind bars.

    Cool. I can't wait to buy a f.cking seven quid tomato.

    Time to revoke Australia's commonwealth status.

    We're supposed to send them our convicts not the other way round.

    Yeah Dave. Wait till you see the one we're planning for you ...

    'I will never forget when he touched me. I was standing there, young, naive, and with my back towards him. Suddenly I felt him touch me. Touch my back and then my rear end. Stroking his hand up and down me and warmly muttering under his breath 'now, now, everything will be fine'.
    Yet the TV network knew of this. It was caught on video tape for ANIMAL HOSPITAL and screened to millions of people around the country. Yet nothing was done about it'.

    Rabbits, rabbits, too!!! Thanks for the PM Mick - I wrote a couple of replies but they became long and complicated so I didn't send them. Its now evening here and my partner and daughter are both sickish. I hope I don't get their germs!! to add to my general feeling of woe is me. I have almost sealed them in plastic wrap:H

    No didn't feel like drinking today but did wonder about a whole of things. I wish wish wish I didn't worry and wonder about so much but I guess we all do this.

    Self doubt seems to be so common among us of the AL afflicted kind. We hide this for so many years behind the booze and then it surges back at us.

    On another note - quite horrible what has been revealed about Rolf Harris. Its hit the news a lot here but I guess its not so big in the US.

    Thanks for your support guys. It means so much and I think it really helps to take the edge of the niggling doubts. I felt a bit like I had walked into an AA meeting today when I spilled my guts on the thread. At least you didn't make me do any Steps!:H I made hot chocolate pudding instead (the kind that has self saucing). Pauly - have you made that? Really easy and full of bad things.

      Morning all!!
      feels like it is going to be a hot one today. Going to the shroom greenhouse this morning to work then back home. I'm going to try to do my first marking of a queen bee. You put them in a little tube the has a screened end and use a small plunger to get them to the screen, take a little marker and put a little dot on their back with a marker. It makes finding them so much easier. Think I might practice on a few drones first!

      Mick, no bees eh? Find somebody that has an observation hive and show the little woman, there's no way she can resist!! You look like you'd have the perfect place for them.

      TT, glad you don't feel like drink. I hear you about self doubt.... and it helps to raise the ugly head of AL. Seems that you are quite aware of it, which helps keep that thing at bay. Good for you! Hope you don't get the yuck!!

      Have a treeemendous Tuesday everyone!

          Good morning Abbers & many, many rabbits to all :H

          Mick, three life sentences huh? No wonder we are so beat up :H
          Well, at least we are still alive, war wounds and all
          Good luck with the house & garden work - you are always a busy guy!!!!!

          TT, sorry you are having low spot, just keep your thoughts positive, please!
          Redirecting my thoughts has become my best tool I think. I have a history of allowing myself to dwell a bit too long on the 'dark side of the moon' & it always got me into trouble. Professionally, I put in 28 years, got a paycheck & absolutely no recognition whatsoever. In the end it just doesn't really matter anyway, does it? I am much more than my job. I think I am doing more good now in my part time roles as granny/child watcher, very small biz owner, Mom to a couple of adult kids still looking for advice & of course - part time wife :H

          Sam, I still say you are a brave one to be playing around with those bees
          I think I'd be more comfortable doing brain surgery - seriously!!! Good luck with your task!!

          Greetings to Pauly, SL, SF, Det, PQ & everyone!
          I have an 11am dental appointment, yay.....
          Have a great AF Tuesday everyone!

            Hi all and Happy White Rabbits too!
            Not sure if it is moon phase, but down in dumps too - was really narky yesterday, put it donw to heat but i sounded like a fishwife - and today carrying on being a harpy for sure - don't like being a nag, so it makes me feel yucky. And on top of being a nag, I am teary too - ugg!
            Big meeting with my boss and his boo-ss today - they are 33 mins late so far - I would not get away with this and on top of my mood this does not help.
            OK - got that off my chest - looking for an attitude adjustment here.....
            Maybe I need choclaote cake? Lost 3lbs last week - so enough chocolate cake talk!!!
            Have not seen Rolf Harris news - maybe I don't want to - I can only guess - same as Jimmy Saville??

              SL sorry you are feeling low too. Post if you need to.
              Yep Rolf Harris same as Saville but some different victims ie daughters best friend. both creeps it seems were hanging out at NHS hospitals. Harris is still alive of course.

              We might get snow here today although not sure.
              Pauly I don't know the origin of White Rabbits but my mum always said it at the start of very month. Maybe it's a Scottish custom?

                Thanks TT - I will stick close right now - hate crying at work, but so frustrated!!! This feels like PMS (TMI I know) but its not that. I am managed by two bosses who have totally differnet views and approaches - got them in one room to show them how it is impossible for me - they were an hour late and kept going on about a vendor that was taking them to lunch today and baseball game tonight - and why wasn't I going - ARGHH!!!:upset::upset:

                Not sure of origins of white rabbits - bet Mick comes along with an answer - I know that you are supposed to say first thing, before saying anything else on first day of month three times in a row - I have never managed to do it! Its for good luck for the month:H I had said hello before doing it today so maybe that is why today is going the way it is!!!

                sorry to hear when role models and influences in life turn out to be scum....

                TT - read your post again - this really sums it all up "I wish wish wish I didn't worry and wonder about so much but I guess we all do this" - where is that off switch???

                  Well a degree of worry is important for survival and it also gives us humans an ethical edge. Time to see it in a positive way,

                    OK - won't look for off switch, but maybe a different speed - can I go to slow??
                    Left office bit early as boss decided to give me some feedback on my attitude, thought I should leave while I have job

                      No full moon yet SL, maybe the excessive heat is bothering you a bit
                      It's super humid here, absolutely yucky. Grateful for the AC.
                      Hope you can chill a bit tonight.

                      TT, I hope you worries have dissipated a bit. I don't want to see anyone de-railed here. Stuff happens & it always will. My granny was the world's biggest worrier & I think I inherited that trait. Actually it's more of a learned skill I think & one we can un-learn if we put our minds to work

                      Hot & humid out, grateful for the AC - yay!
                      Did you get snow TT???
