Re cost of living.
I/we seem to be the odd ones out.
I sort out all the bills etc. But do not keep a check on the weekly/monthly/annual outlay.
Where we live is also odd.
Our small estate is all ex RAF officers housing with a park at the back BUT it borders a council estate which used to have a bad rep'.
In 1996 I started my own (small) company which did well. So, aged 62 I retired with a very small pension but a lump in the bank.
If I don't live beyond 100 we have enough to live on
And our 2 children get the house.

I see Donald Trump and Melania have supposedly got Covid! Whether it is fake news to encourage sympathy for him in the upcoming elections or genuine who knows! I am getting that I read most news these days with some scepticism!
I had exactly the same thought

"Yes, there is a God," said Mrs P, punching the air as I walked in to the bedroom with her coffee.
A simple thank you would have been enough I thought..............
........."Trump tested positive!" said Mrs P.
poor taste I know 🤣

It's not as nice as it was when I first came here to live, but I don't think any town is now. We have the sadly normal thing of what used to be lovely hotels shut down and boarded up and the usual dose of charity shops where there used to be other nicer shops.
I am sure there is no connection between your arrival, and, Crieff's demise

We've to get that over the weekend
Yellow weather warnings for heavy rain Saturday and Sunday.Yes.... when I moved to Warrington it was a lovely market town.It's not as nice as it was when I first came here to live, but I don't think any town is now. We have the sadly normal thing of what used to be lovely hotels shut down and boarded up and the usual dose of charity shops where there used to be other nicer shops.
Everyone seemed to know each other.
A thriving market.
A really good main shopping area.
Its great now if you like charity shops/pound shops/boarded up shops.

I thought this is amusing. If not true.
