Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Well maybe not everything T. We were chatting about how good Blackadder was .....well remember Fawlty Towers and the" don't mention the war " episode ...seems appropriate some how.
haha I get you, I don't mind talking about the war, we all should be on the same page over this really but I'm with you, if it is uncomfortable for others, i can discuss elsewhere.
 
Good Morning all, beautiful day up here for a change, I had a negative test yesterday, another one today and I'll be able to go out and about again thankfully.
I need a good walk to blow off the cobwebs and get some circulation going.
I hope everyone is good and you all have a great day to kick-start your weekend.
I have some of last night's Chinese takeaway leftovers to look forward to including salt and pepper squid.
Great news LT. The fresh air into your lungs after being cooped up will be a joy.
 
Morning guys. beautiful morning down here in Cornwall. My underwear collection will be relieved to know that my new washing machine will be delivered between 12 and 2pm. So from a practical point of view, it gives me ample time for a nice walk this afternoon if the weather holds out (which isn't a given down here).

Having slept on the matter, I retract my comments from yesterday regarding thread content. I believe people should be able to post on any subject they desire provided they aren't being offensive to anybody. It's up to other posters whether they wish to join in the conversation or not. I think one of the premises of this thread is that people are able to unload or unburden themselves of issues or problems and find support from the good people in here. It therefore seems silly to me if the same people feel unable to comment on probably one of the most worrying events to affect us in my living memory. So please completely erase my comments from yesterday from your mind. ;)

Just off for a shower then I'm going to pop down to the local shop for a pasty and some posh sausages. Hope you all have a great day everyone.
 

Morning all, bright and beautiful sunrise here as I sit here and with the first cup of tea of the day. The news is concerning but I’m not going to dwell on it. Fresca doesn’t look impressed @Sassy Colombian but it’s for the best! Hope all are well, have a good day all.?
Dear @Gwladysover I’m even less impressed than Fresca. She woke me up at 4 am because she kept bumping into everything. She and I are already ready to take the satellite of her head but we shall resist the temptation.

Yay for testing negative and a big woohoo for freedom and being able to finally blow off the cobwebs! So glad to hear you are out of the woods. Hopefully @Bluerover is also starting to feel better.

As my missus commented, thank god Trump isn't still in charge these days.
I’m so grateful he is not, but unfortunately here in the US he still is the face of the Republican Party and has been taking advantage of people growing fervor towards nationalism to continue growing his followers. He will be running again in two years, especially if this would allow him to stay clear of jail. And the scary part is that Republicans are doing everything in their power to weaken our voting system and our democracy so he may end up as a president again :(

Good morning, fiends. I would love to say happy Friday, but I can’t pretend to be content because my spirit is really down at the moment. Seeing so much unnecessary suffering is painful to my soul. Sometimes I’m puzzled why does evil tend to prevail at times more than goodness. Then I question everything in earth and heavens.

Early morning for me, even though I didn’t go to bed until past midnight. So I’m a bit tired but I will survive, it is the weekend after all. This week the weather has been gorgeous in Asheville. Yesterday was sunny and it got to almost 22°C, so we been having spring temperatures and they seem they are going to continue for another week. Which makes me very happy no only because I love warm weather, but because given the high energy prices we won’t have to be using our oil to heat our house and instead we can just make use of our pellet stove. This morning I have a doctors appointment to get some blood work done for my annual physical, then I need to work for a bit but besides that I have not much planned. I was supposed to visit my best friend and her kids but she has Covid. And two of my husband’s employees are also out with the virus so we are still dealing the effects of the pandemic here in the US but hopefully things will continue improving ??

I hope everyone’s day only gets sunnier ☀️?

WOW, there's a lot to talk about there and I'd love to , but it's 11.00 pm and I'm tired and I've had a couple of whiskies and I'm going to bed.
 

Me too but Everton always surprises when least expected so let’s hope it is the same tomorrow.

How are you feeling today, T? Are the headaches leaving you alone today?
I'm a bit better now, I have assaulted my headache with painkillers and shaved my head so I could rub Ibulieve into it and deep heat on my neck, I was pretty bad this morning so and don't do this at home folks, I had 6 tablets at once instead of 2, sometimes it's the only way I can shift it.

I can feel it hovering in the background so I'll apply more cream soon, I wish they would leave me alone alas it's not to be :(

How are you sass, excited about the new job?

I hope your assault takes full effect soon and it relieves you from your headache. The balm that I sent you is excellent to relieve pain so now that you are bald you can rub it all over your head and hopefully it will help.

I’m doing well. I’m indeed very happy excited about my new job and going back to work on campus. I have almost been at home for three years and I miss interacting with people in person. Thanks for asking. Xx
 
How is everyone feeling about tomorrow’s match? The return of Doucoure is great news. Is Gray also training again? I would be delighted if Lampard could secure us at least a draw.
I fear that you are being optimistic Sassy.
I think City will spank our backsides ( sorry if that gets you excited) and we will lose by 3 or 4 goals.

I think the fans will try to get behind the team and make Goodison a bear pit but can't see that it wi be anywhere near enough to even get us a point.

I can't tell you how happy I would be to be wrong.
