Hello From My Englishness

This resonates more than it should... (hello all)

I hear you, sister.

I rather envy people in lock-down by themselves!
The grass is always greener eh?

God, me too! Isolation my ass! Never seen so much of them in my house, it's worse than torture. I'm being stalked in every room. If this ever happens again I want to be in a holiday let, somewhere pretty, alone and no phone connection.

I daren't go on my FB. If anyone else posts pictures of their cakes and biscuits and then says they're going to be the size of a house in a few weeks I think I won't be responsible for what I write.

And pretty pictures of G&Ts in the garden, which looks like something Charlie Dimmock has just spent a month doing ........ with husbands they still like.

God give me strength, it's like Stepford Wives!

Grumpy? Me? Pfft!

I read that last month. Couldn't put it down, read it in one sitting. Maybe I should read it again, it may put lockdown into perspective.

'Cilka's Journey' is next in the list.

Try The Godmother by Hannelore Cayre for a bit of light relief

This is fabulous and so true, Cherry.

My OH has been baking, luckily I've been able to share them round at work.

 

[MatureChattyMann]

I think its beech. using osmo top oil, clear satin. I've used Olive oil in a previous house, it's fine but SO disagrees. Ergo anything fir a quiet life. Thanks all the same

You're welcome!

Morning all. and so begins another day in the upstairs downstairs house.

I envy you!

Not the baking although I am sure that is excellent - but the fact that you're going to work and speaking with grown-ups during the day...

Me too... my OH actually has an easier life now. I’m working from home, home schooling and seemingly in charge of everything domestic. The lack of freedom is stifling but then again I’m a person who lives in the shadows a little bit so all this enforced wholesome family living doesn’t entirely suit me.

 

[enigma3]

fancy a pint or three of snakebite, i'm off to the corner shop soon. i might go in my pj's with my trusty tesco trolley.

On the plus side the sun is shining.

And another plus is that we don't live on a street where people think putting bunting up and socially distancing on the pavement whilst clutching a glass and singing "We'll Meet Again" is a good way to celebrate VE day...

With the greatest of respect to Captain Tom, if i see michael ball fart arsing around any more I'll jump

 

[AngelicaS1780]

A belated good morning to you as well.

I’ve avoided all Michael Ball fart arsery - I tend to put him I n the same category as Katherine Jenkins. She was on the TV talking about her Dame Vera shizz and I was mesmerised by her TOWIE teeth. I don’t remember her having those before.
I don’t mind Captain / Colonel Tom though.

( sorry Americans - I fear google is required to understand half those cultural references )

 

[enigma3]

Since i dont watch regular TV and i shun all social media. i only watch BBC i player for the history/documentaries. and some of the foodie stuff. (ps) sorry to SL for the pm. it wont happen again

I’m very flakey about PMs - I haven’t responded to anyone because I’m not sure I want to go down that road. There was a period of my life when I spent far more time than I should on here and I’m trying to avoid a repeat of that.

I'm a sailor so not sure we class as grown-ups

I've been lucky enough to meet her, whilst she is absolutely stunning, there isn't much going on behind the looks. When I realised that it reduced her attractiveness for me.

I’ve turned mine off... most of my responses were spent politely turning people down or resisting replying to arsekissers with less polite responses...

Having known many, I'll vouch for this. Born/programmed to party unless it's a life or death situation

I would.... theres one person I used to talk to who was special.... he’s an ER nurse in NYC and I’d like to know he’s ok.

 

[enigma3]

This pm was sent to me so i can not take the credit (how would you answer)
i dont know if this is some sort of social study?

1. Which element best describes you?
2. What are you most thankful for?
3. Invent your own word. What does it mean to you?

if you would kindly take part i will post my answers, for what it's worth.

Brace yourself mother fuckers - it’s nearly Boris time...
