Quote from: Raven on Today at 02:55:28 PMI hope that includes themselves going in the front lines. They must all be under 65.

Exactly.       

I have always said if all the so-called 'leaders'  had to get off their backsides and out of their nice warm offices to go and fight, there would be no  wars.

I hope that includes themselves going in the front lines. They must all be under 65.

That the stupidity of this government could no longer surprise me, their latest idiocy has done just that. They are now looking at legislation to allow them to call up army (and presumably the other services) up to the age of SIXTY FIVE!

I get up, go to the computer and spend some time with my current jigsaw, while listening to my current audio book, along with a hot choccy.
If it's summer and warm nights I go and sit outside with a cool drink and listen to the ocean.
If it's a night I can't hear the ocean I get the wee cd player and an audio book. When I had the dogs I would sometimes go to the beach and walk but I'll not do that on my own.
None of it much good to you I'm afraid, but it works for me, 🙂

No one wants to see soldiers losing their lives in a Foreign cause Trump is old enough to remember Vietnam not to mention the Gulf wars .

These people are barbaric they are barbaric to their citizens .

IMO the international community should come together and act as one and help the Iranian people .

Precision strikes on known IRGC strongholds might stop them in their tracks .

We in the U.K. could start by proscribing the IRGC and closing their embassy here .

Why should we allow this in our country ? 

If I am on my own, with nobody to disturb, I play soothing music, often Gregorian chant. Otherwise I read

I am late today, as I slept on this morning.
Could not sleep last night,  still wide awake at 3 a.m,  so sat up and read my book,  as that usually sends me off,  but not last night it didn't. 
My poor doggies had a rather late breakfast.

What do others do if they can't get to sleep?  Any useful remedies?

Surprise surprise . . .  no good again.

One dreary old Saturday morn
Came a knock on the door - it was Shaun
He wanted to borrow some tea

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 12:12:40 PMJust done two hours in the garden tidying up..
The winter frost did not kill any weeds..

This is exactly what I always say, Scrumps.

We nuture our flowers, fruit and veg,  feed, water, cover over in frosts, water in droughts, etc,   yet the bloody weeds do magnificently, all on their own,  in heat, wet, cold and anything else nature throws at them.
