Solstice makes a big difference: we know the days are getting longer even if we can’t immediately see it. It’s understandable you’ve been low &overwhelmed considering all that’s been happening. Hope your pup is doing OK 💐

Morning Jules and fellow ORCs.
Woohoo, Jules!! Well done 🙌

No apology needed – blood boiling here too.

At the very least each of them should publicly named and have their police pensions reduced significantly. The whole Hillsborough cover-up is beyond a national disgrace. Far too many instances of police forces protecting themselves to instil confidence it won’t carry on happening.

Pootling days are very productive in their own way. The perfect reward for Monday’s awfulness.

Wishing you the very best for tomorrow 🍀🤞🍀🤞🍀

Christmas combined with grey days is not always a good mix. My family do this for siblings/nieces/nephews: under 12s gift/book token; 12–18s gift card/money; adults buy themselves a present. We skip hours on the M25 and meet up mid-January. Beats the post-Xmas blues and alleviates so much stress.

Lovely to see you here, Jay. 🤞 for the van.

Three cheers for the GP nurse 👏 Hope the results offer a path to answers and feeling better.

Oh Wombie, how bloody awful 🫂
My mum has a catheter so I understand a little of how shitty it is as. It’s hard to credit the medical profession hasn’t found a better way to deal with this.

🤞🤞🤞

I think so. It definitely wasn’t like that when I was at school in the 70s or when my husband was at school in the 60s.

For a couple of years I worked in a primary school. Every break, line up in silence and file down to the playground. Any noise, the entire class had to go back and start again, easily waste 10 mins. Tedious when they were bursting with energy from sitting and concentrating. Going against nature imo

Hope you’re feeling even better this evening.

It makes sense, just difficult to see how any government will take us back in without a massive sea change in the media’s attitude. We know many who voted to leave now regret it but msm is refusing ti catch up with public opinion.

It truly is.

Anything’s worth trying. Magnesium, like everything else I’ve tried, worked for a couple of nights and then not again. My current boring myself to sleep game is thinking of girls’ names that can be shortened to boys’ names 🤷‍♀️🙄

So many of us ☹️ A gathering no one choose if they could avoid the need for it, but nice to know there’s good company out there!

Morning Guy and fellow ORCestra crew. Bagsy the tambourine, please. Grey start here. Woken by very vocal stand off between Leo and his tormentor Bertie who was staring at him through the back door 😏 Village Christmas lights celebration this evening – hope the rain holds off. Happy Tuesday everyone!
