Are you going to be able to set that new router up? IMO its not likely to make much difference but good luck.

Ooer,  no adverts ey.   Well as I said before,  I never used to, its only a very recent thing.    I do hope I haven't got a hacker or anything?

I will try muting notifications tomorrow Alex,  and then get someone to message me and see if it still works alright.      Thank you.  

What a busy day it was.
First I went to the Physio,  very nice bloke he was too.
A man who actually listens  to women is a novelty for a start.   
He used this electric massager thing on my shoulder, and one thigh bone,  and it was really good.

Then I treated myself to a sausage sandwich with brown sauce for my lunch at Waitrose cafe.
When I got back home, I took the dogs down the park,  far too muddy over the fields.

I just got home in time to get out again to a GP appointment. 

Later on,  I saw I had an email from the company still pursuing that bloke who hit my car - last September!
It is still dragging on,  and they are still saying I might need a solicitor!!
So I phoned them and had a right old moan and told them I don't need a solicitor as I have done nothing wrong and I am fed up with this dragging on with no resolution! 

While I was in the mood,  I then phoned Virgin about my broadband still  playing up,  and I intended asking them for an engineer to come now.    However, they said they would send me a brand new router instead,  and it would arrive in a day or two.   I have to then send the old one back to them. 

I thought tomorrow I would be free,  but a friend phoned me tonight, and  her car has conked out so could I take her to a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning, so I will gladly do that as I know she is very poorly.

When I have done that I  also need to go to my Vet's to collect some tablets for Liffey.   

And that's about it then!   

*  Ooh,  no its not!   I forgot something else I did.
We are all aware of scam emails I am sure,  but today I had a bad one.
It was some foreign bloke with a gobble-de-gook email address,  trying to flog knives!!!
He said they were kitchen knives,  but it really felt bad somehow,  and potentially serious I thought.
Kids could received that  for all I know.

So I sent the whole thing to the government phishing site and let them deal with it.   I also rang the local cops and told them and gave them his email address too.

Busy old day it was.

Sex AND grub?....  Do I look daft !!
One asked for breakfast - how I laughed
Dressed like this I dare not fry
It's up to you if you want to try 
But it's more than luck -  it's a craft.   


So there we are,  lonely and old
All because we daren't be bold

An old friend has been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, I didn't know much about it, apart from Stephen Hawkins had it.  It certainly is a dreadful illness.
Nigel's programme tonight on GB News is coming from Chagos, I think that's what  I heard ! 

That's sad about your friend, Alex.  
So sorry.

Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 08:24:56 AMThe problem with the law is that it considers financial crime far more serious than animal cruelty. This could be because the law itself is old and punishments probably are too despite being reviewed. There were harsh punishments for theft right up to hanging back in the days when animal cruelty was routine.

Until quite recently,  perhaps up until 3 or 4  years ago,  in law, pets were only considered as 'property'  or  'chattels.'  Much like a mobile phone or bit of furniture!

There has finally been a change,  and cats and dogs are now considered 'Sentient beings'  who are capable of feeling pain and fear.

Whether this will eventually change sentencing for cruelty,  only time will tell.

Maybe that would make an amusing new thread, Granny?
