A black cat with white patches (paws etc) appears in my garden several times every day. He just sits looking at my dry-stone wall, there must be some small animal living there. He keeps perfectly still for ages, and sometimes adopts the stalking/pouncing pose, but I've never seen him catch anything.
She called you decorative but shallow. What a f*****g cheek! I hope you told her where she could shove her opinion. I would be incandescent if someone said that to me, and definitely would drop the F bomb.If age without health issues doesn't get you on a list for deliveries I wonder how the people across the road from us have just had a sizeable one from Sainsburys. We love this couple, they're retired engineers who have lived in the most remote places, their four children all have different dual nationalities & she's the type of woman who would have coped out West in the US or been an Empire wife. They tell the best stories & I once told her how much I'd admired her, she gave me a long hard look & said that I was like one of her soup plates, 'decorative, but shallow'. When they retired they said they needed a hobby & took up open water swimming, so in normal times they would be away from Easter to the end of June doing just that. They are rugged & the first people I'd turn to in a crisis; I'm surprised they're doing their food shopping online & even more surprised that they've been able to do it.
I think I just laughed, she wasn't the first & won't be the last; I was told that I was as shallow as a puddle by the midwife when I got off the bed to find my lipstick just before I had my daughter & then there was the mental health/mindfulness training day... It was the last one I attended before retiring & we were asked to do a questionnaire about our feelings, attitudes & thought processes so that we would have greater insight into the students' worries & concerns. I got taken on one side after the exercise & asked about my answers because it appeared that I 'skated' through life; I said I had been given a happy childhood, was married to my best friend, my children/grandchildren were healthy & I believed in a life of contentment with happiness as an occasional absolute. I also said that animals & the planet mattered more to me than anything & I wasn't bothered if others liked me or not. Again I was called shallow but was told that I was lucky to have found my balance! Phew.She called you decorative but shallow. What a f*****g cheek! I hope you told her where she could shove her opinion. I would be incandescent if someone said that to me, and definitely would drop the F bomb.
I think people can get deliveries but, as with Millionaire, it is a question of fastest finger first when new slots are released. A neighbour told me a friend of hers spends hours in all the different apps. So it is a question of being in the right place at the right time. But I never am! I went to Waitrose today for cleaning materials I cannot carry with the bags of food. So an extra trip for me, great.
Hope all's alright for you & yours twinnyT, you carry on being contented and happy, I echo everything you said ❤ xx
Hope all's alright for you & yours twinny
The delivery slots seem to vary greatly by area. My friend who lives about half an hour’s drive from me placed a Morrison’s order late last night and the first slot she could get was May 4th. I looked on their website and could get a slot at the end of this week.She called you decorative but shallow. What a f*****g cheek! I hope you told her where she could shove her opinion.

There was an interview with his other daughter, apparently he requested a treadmill as a birthday present! He is a real day of sunshine.If Captain Tom Moore does any more laps of his garden
the DWP will declare him fit for work
I saw some plucky very senior citizens stepping up in Scotland and Wales...there must be at least one in N.Ireland I would hope. But I doubt there will be another phenomenon like Capt. Tom.Wonderful gent unfortunately the charity does not allocate any money to N Ireland which is a pity as many here gave donations. However it doesn’t take away from him but it’s now getting a bit out of hand with every OAP doing something!
I miss my Purdy soooooooooo much. I actually dreamed of her last night. Of course I love Obie, but Purdy didn't roll in fox poo & empty the airing cupboard.I love animals & people get twizzled when I say that I prefer them to humans. I particularly love black & white cats & have lived with several over the years. For the first time in ages we're living with just one, he's grey & white, has a white triangle above his lip & My Mr T says that he's the most spoiled cat he's ever known. I think he's jealous
There will be several mice families in that wall, Strato, for sure. Lets hope that puss does a good job.A black cat with white patches (paws etc) appears in my garden several times every day.
