Evening everyone :-)

Joy
I hope you only have a mild case and soon feel well again.
There are so many cases locally too with people who have had all their vaccines.

A really beautiful afternoon here, very warm and sunny, so I took myself off on the bus to Folkestone to see the runners with the Commonwealth Games baton.

It was lovely down by the harbour with just a gentle breeze blowing.
The baton later left there on a boat to travel up the coast to Deal.

Afternoon Ann and Joy :-D <3 <3

Wishing you well Joy, I have had a stinker of a cold in the last week or two. I still wear my mask, so it has left me mystified.

My Dad told me when I was a teenager, never to discuss Religion, Sex or Politics, so that is what I have stuck to. :-D :-D

Joy, I assumed, which is always a silly thing to do. But on the other hand, I do not ask outright, so maybe I should read through the threads a little more carefully. :-D :-D

I wish my family were in the position to travel, I have not seen them in a long, long time. :-(

Thank you. So far, so good, Peeps.

A bad cough and a snotty nose with a bit of an achy body - which was what made me do a test as it is so unlike me to be like that. Just goes to show that you can never be too careful though and I have kept well away from K.

I may be hunkering down during the winter. :-D

Von, like Maddie, I thought you were going away. We must have been bamboozled ….. or not read through the threads thoroughly. :-D

Parliament goes into recess on 21 July so only two more weeks of chaos :-0 :-0 :-0 :-(

Michelle Donalan accepted the post of education minister only to resign a day later :-S :-S

Joy sorry to hear that. I do hope you feel better soon <3 <3

Oh no Joy…..hope it is mild and passes quickly <3 <3

Sadly however many vaccines you have it does not stop you contracting the dreaded virus :-( :-(

Yes, Island, I saw the jokes about her stripping the gold paper from the walls and getting it ready to rehang elsewhere. :-D

The incoming people may wish that she was doing that. :-D

I have covid! Courtesy of someone I got about two or three feet from on Monday evening before she told me that everyone at home had covid! You’ve never seen anyone take a back-step quite so quickly as I had no mask on because I was outside - but it was too late.

I’ve had four jabs too.

Gonna miss a trip to bonnie Scotland at weekend and this morning when J knocked at the door to have coffee with me before she started work, I had to send her packing. :-(

Precisely, Ann. I hope he does not drag it out too long or he’ll start to look like a big girl’s blouse …. in the words of Hilda B. Remember her? :-D

Doomed indeed Joy!

Is there anyone fit to serve the people instead of serving themselves….mmm let me think

The plot thickens and the plotting begins :-D :-D

Afternoon all. <3 :-D

Oh gawd!!! He’s actually almost gone … almost!

Churchill he ain’t - as much as he wanted to be considered the same.

Well at least I won’t have to shout at the telly when he comes up with those untruths yet again - for which he got the sack many years ago. I was shouting at that Drab fellow this week too and his name has been mentioned as a replacement.

Perhaps some of them may now stand up and be counted without the fear of demotion or sacking looming over them.

I see he’s been talking about herd instinct yet again … a bit of a nerve as he relied on it for so long and got rid of all who expressed any doubt about his decisions.

No one stands out as leadership material as far as I can see. :-(

I the words of that man in Dad’s Army, ‘doomed, we’re all doomed.’ :-0

Boris made a career out of ignoring 'UK voters' Ann - and that's the polite version. :-D

Afternoon everyone :-D :-D <3 <3

Well what a shambles! Hounded out by the sleaze balls waiting to take his place, UK voters again totally ignored!

It beggars belief that this has escalated this week because of one insignificant little nobody who can not keep his hands to himself!

The alternatives do not bear thinking about
