I visit 2 or 3 forums, of which this is one, and I'm finding it less and less attractive these days except for the odd limericks or word puzzle thread, because it's all so darned depressing.
 
There's enough stress in our lives ( some of us) without deliberately logging on and reading a whole lot more, it's bad enough watching the daily News!
 
So here's my question for you before I give up entirely: is there anything at all that you're happy with these days living in this country and leading the life you lead, anything you'd rather stay here for than move elsewhere, anything for which you count your lucky stars?!

You could be brave enough to list your blessings!

Quote from: Alex on Today at 02:37:32 PMLovely memories for you.

Yes they were good times, I was happily divorced and living on my own, except for the dogs. I haven't been back to Glencoe or Kinshaldi Beach since I lost Dageus, just can't face it. I do drive through Drumochter on my way to and from Dunc's place. Not much option as the A9 runs right through it. Several other Dageus places I haven't been either, doubt I'll ever go again.

Then off I went to the coconut shy
And there I bumped into an old beau, Guy
He came up close and groped my bum
I slapped his face saying "Stop that chum"

Lovely memories for you.   

Quote from: Alex on Today at 11:12:10 AMA lovely sunny morning here, I sat outside with my coffee and almost nodded off it was so warm but I think we have showers forecast for later.  I had a busy day yesterday, did some shopping and then lunchtime my grandson arrived to watch the match with me.  Today it's back to Betty no mates, I don't like Sundays.

Years ago now, before I moved up North I loved Sundays it was my away day. Through the Week I was still working part time so I just walked the dogs in the forests and parks ect in Perth, but on a Sunday I bunged the dogs in the car and we went off for the day. Usually a beach or up to Glencoe, or Drumochter,  places like that, as long as the winter weather let me. Occasionlly my son or daughter would join me and that meant it was Urban Exploring, usually old castles. We had good times.

Something that always strikes me is,  when Him & Her are in public together,  or posing for photos etc,   she doesn't just stand with him,  or even hold his hand,   she always looks like she is clinging on to him for dear life.   
It's not just hooking his arm,   its really clutching and hanging on tight, often with both hands, with her head resting on him along with that ear to ear grin of hers.   
Just a nice smile would look more natural to me.   
It  always looks so OTT and false.

Yoo-hoo,   me again.  

It's been a lovely morning,  but clouding over now with more rain forecast for this afternoon. 
Roast chicken for dinner later,  so must go and pull some carrots and prep the veg.

I couldn't work out her accent, she's had quite a life apparently   

Then off I went to the coconut shy
And there I bumped into an old beau, Guy

Very well done, Ruthio.
