Things That Gladden The Heart

[backwoodsman]

It's Thursday and I'm about to finish my final conference call of the day - and for the first time (ever) it's the final meeting of my working week

And in that context I don't care that it is raining and I can't play golf.

And that's a good feeling. But not as good as when its the last day of working for good!

Just watching Paul Merton in China and the wonder on the face of two young Tibetan boys as he blew up a balloon and gave them each one.

So cute...hate to think what will happen when they pop though!

Hosting a forum Zoom call to talk the Super Bowl and all things NFL - great to put some faces to names.

Remembering the remote has a mute button ... And, for when it becomes a real toil, there is also a selection of other channels... Or, indeed, an off button ...

More seriously... Loving it is blood orange season... Seem even sweeter/better this year...

Toyah & Robert's Sunday (Lockdown) Lunch...

Little short bursts of brilliant insanity/genius/stupidity/nonsense

Toyay Willcox isn't everyone's cup of tea, but she's exact ages with me and I have 'loved' her ever since she appeared on the scene way back in the day...and Robert Fripp is just genius.

This morning I got my first nettle sting of this year .................................. spring is just around the corner.

A tough day yesterday. Lost 2 neighbours in the last week and a cousin to Covid yesterday but finished the day with a new g'son. Whilst we rejoice in the new arrival, which we'll hopefully get to see sometime life is a grind.

The new g'son is a massive positive but...

 

[Fade and Die]

Looked at my Sky News app this morning and the first 3 articles were not about Covid! ?

As she seems to be getting a bit of a pasting on another thread ...
I'd just like to say Naga is an absolute delight when on my screen of a morning ...

I have a similar relationship with Alexa as I do with the cat.....Strained..
