A lovely bright sunny morning.
@Hicap phill I can honestly say not a gram of chocolate has passed my lips.
I am still trying to sort out and fill my MH- it will be a pleasure to get the bedroom back as it should be after being used as storage for the last few months.
Make the most of your Monday and enjoy whatever you have planned and I hope @Dan clarke and family have a great barbecue.

So you say “gram” does that mean you have had a pound?

Morning All

The mayhem starts @ 12 Mid-Day.

My youngest son is bringing "the dog" so it can go zooming round my garden and lay surprise lawn-sausages for the kids to find.

Wifey is getting her Mum so she can see all the Great Grand kids at the one time.
Have a good day.

How old is this "eldest" and why can't he do his own "Strolling" to get his own bread?

Feel for you.

You've made that nest too cosy, and/or he loves you to bits and can't bear the thought of you being on your tod. It is what it is, as they say.

One of ours was a Yo-Yo all through his 20's & 30's. Now married and living in Oxfordshire and we very rarely see him.
The other two are like limpets, stuck fast to this town so they can garner maximum BOD support etc. etc.

To be fair to him he is on the Autistic Spectrum and as such is slower in his development than his peers, but he has enrolled at the Open University and is studying Engineering, which for him is a great leap forward ...

How strange, so is my eldest (the Yo-Yo). Extremely clever but not a great mixer. Got a top medical biochemistry degree at Uxbridge and then a Master of Phil @ Surrey.
When he was a kid we could see him struggling to cope and to "fit-in", normal social stuff was a bit of a mystery to him (still is, he just copes much better).
I hope your lad does well with his studies.

It is said that if your IQ is between 120 and 140 you'll usually be happier than others but if it s over 140, not so much. Maybe this is his problem? At least in some ways? I have cousin like that. Chair of Metallurgy at Toronto uni but can look totally mentally defective, as we used to be able to say!

didn't get up till 1:15 today, (Frog time). Had a tremendous headache during the night, prolly due to drinking too much and not eating enuff, so took watter and Parrotseatemall, and went back to bed.
At least Wifey is well rested.
We'll have the chook today, although the weather is not as bad as originally predicted. Still gloomy though, but promised sun for later.
Enjoy your days folks!

(Ated all my choclit yessdi.

. Maybe choclit gives me a headache, no that'd be chicklit!!!)

... that the planned BBQ went a head and they all seemed to enjoy it.
I am knackered (I don't know why) and need to go have a lie-down.
See you all tomorrow.

Hicap phill · Apr 18, 2022
