People put out food for them they seem to survive the cold ok .

I hope this one gets a home well before the cold arrives, :V:  London is a good bit warmer than Inverness in the winter, wee soul may not survive it.

Afternoon, It's sunny today so far and I got caught up with all the washing, fair chuffed as it's all dry, folded and put away. Started knitting the winter sweaters so now getting on with the first one along with an audio book.
Have a nice day folks.

I'd go back to my 40s, I was fit as a fiddle no knee problems and no heart problems. Still married but kind of leading my own life most of the time, he was working shifts driving buses so hardly ever home. I was working part time, looking after the house, and had 2 Old English Sheepdogs that took up a good bit of my time, I was teaching 8 classes a week of Line dancing in the evenings, and on a Saturday Night several of us went to a Linedance with a live band, usually Dundee, Edinburgh, or Glasgow very occasionally there was one in Perth. AND, AND, I still had my Raven Hair, lots of it, much thicker back then, it broke my heart when I went platinum.
It was a good time and I enjoyed it.  :busted:

Good grief, Mups, that is bad.   We are lucky here - we have two choices.  The Hospital, from 8:00am to 5:00pm, or The Community Stadium, from 7:30am to 5:00pm.  Both of them are 'walk in', but there are always at least four phlebotomists on duty so one never has to wait too long.

Ned arrived the following day
He carefully explained some ways to pay
One hundred pounds per wall-or more
Three hundred and ninety five -if you have all four
Oh dear that's pricy - is there some other way?

Ned eyed her up and down
Giving her a little frown
I don't know what you may have heard
But don't believe a single word

Yeah I heard about that but dancing round a tree naked at full moon doesn't work. Well it didn't for me anyway.

If we could choose to knock a few years off the age we are now  - would you?

How many years would you choose to go back,  when do you think you were at your prime,  or perhaps had the most fun?

I would be happy to go back even 10 years,  as then I didn't have all the aches and pains I've acquired lately!

If you could go back again,  would you do anything differently? 
 I am not sure I would change much, because I believe the choices we made, were lessons to learn.
