Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
It should be raining here by 11am and thunder and lightning by.12 allegedly
My late Sister in Law (dim as they come) had every single episode of The Waltons on DVD. She would spend all day, every day, watching them all from start to finish. She would then watch them all over again, repeatedly.
When she died, the first thing my Brother in Law did was to dump them all in the bin.

Did he say "goodnight Johnboy" as he watched the dustmen tip it into the back of their truck?
I know your not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but she is probably the only woman I've ever met who had absolutely no redeeming features.
Even her husband and kids disliked her!
I detested her, but for some strange reason she always made a beeline for me. Even direct insults to her face didn't seem to register. I never met anyone who had a good word to say about her.
Her son's eulogy at the funeral had the vicar squirming and everyone nodding in agreement - he told a few too many home truths.
When they dropped her coffin in the grave, I had to check that they'd nailed the lid down properly.

Grannies taxi isn't needed today after all. Grandson has the day off.
Apart from that she was quite nice.I know your not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but she is probably the only woman I've ever met who had absolutely no redeeming features.

I hate soaps. I decided to see what big Brother was all about so tuned in one morning. Five minutes later I was still sitting there looking at an empty room. I never bothered with it again, or any other soap.
Mrs P does that with Coronation Street, a programme I'll admit to enjoying in past years. She then sits down to watch 5-6 episodes at a time. It used to have a lot of humour in it but these days......

OK, it was supposed to rain. Since 10.00 it's been getting hotter and hotter. Scorchio in fact. The Beeb are now saying thunder and lightning from 1.00 to 8.00pm. Decision on afternoon activity at 12.30!
Meanwhile I have cleaned the house, reorganised the freezer (we have food), changed the bed, washed the whites, got tea out of freezer, booked tickets to see Beryl, entered PRL 2020 ballot.
Just the bathroom needs a once over then I can get ready for whatever decision is made

God, you make me feel so lazy! Lol. I’m sat on the couch with the ipad browsing and playing games and looking out at the trees and bushes getting a battering with the wind, and the rain is off and on constantly too.

The sky has gone dark here, and we have rain as well.
Bloody hell....I am knackered just reading that.
