I always thought of you as a Westie Dove: friendly, slightly fluffy, always happy looking. Less dribbly than a lab!
I'm now in minor injuries. I've had ear ache for a month (assumed it was my hearing aid) but for the last week it's been really bad. When do they always put orifices that get blocked / leak / need careful checking right where you can't see?
Trying desperately to distract myself from the noises around me; so many poorly children and old women playing games on their phones.
Oooh no Clari ... not a Westie! We used to live next door to one ... apparently his behaviour with underwear in the used laundry basket wasn't polite .... and I have been known to dribble ... apparently
Poor you ... get well soon ((hugs)) .... and how do you know those old women aren't reading Hello Forkers!?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I'm being very quiet this morning because next door's party went on until the small hours (they were pretty considerate though, and didn't use the room next to our bedroom!).
Found some more nice reactions to our singing on the Fringe website, including one saying "You didn't need to know the language [Finnish] to know what the songs were about...". Great! Job done.
Clari, hope they get your ear sorted. Earache definitely doesn't improve the mood...
I guess the point about grumbling about the OH one loves, on this forum, is that it's a safe outlet for our niggles, and a good place to let off steam. There's no way any of us can find a partner who fulfills our every need, and never gets on our nerves - and we'd probably find it pretty boring, eventually, if we did... a bit of friction is fine, unless it wears us out. But the forum, and this thread in particular (thanks, Dove!) is also a wonderful place for sound advice and genuine sympathy, if that's what's needed.
LilyP, have a lovely day with your GD. Hope you navigate the tube ok... at least they tell you where you are and which way you're going on the train these days!
Hope it's good news, Punkdoc.
Enjoy your Monday everyone!
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
I used to work in an office near a bloke - 'Brian' - who would whistle the opening 2 bars of 'Magic Moments' roughly every 4 minutes. Perhaps the Powers that Be could arrange for that on here? It was certainly annoying. To the point where I phoned the chap sat next to him - Pete - and asked him to get one of the brick samples he had under his desk and hit Brian with it next time he began whistling in roughly 2.5 minutes .
Ah, open plan office working. Dontcha just love it?

Hostafan, my Hubbies is the oposite, his Mum walked out when he was 7, (along with 6 year old brother,8 year old sister) went of with another man, he was a 60s "latch key" kid, then married first wife, (her OWN father said "dont marry her she only wants you as a meal ticket") they had no kids she didnt go to work, he came home from shift work (breakdown driver) to cook dinner or it was takeaways, she had countless affairs. His Mother told me she didnt want to be tiied down with 3 kids under 4, went off and straight away had a baby with the "other" bloke. By the time I came on the scene, he wanted the Mum he had never had, and me being all "nursy" fitted the bill. He was super neat and tidy when I was "seeing" him, but when he moved in, he wanted nurtering,looking after. He does the DIY right down to "big" stuff fitted new bathroom last year, is a perfectionst, very old school, I met him at work, he thought woman should stay at home, his Mum did and first wife although she was in her 20s, this wasnt the dark ages, he is just 60, my Late Mum went to work, as a cleaner when I was small, I went with her. He soon realised taking on my 3 kids from first marriage and having one of our own, 2 mortgages at 40, I HAD to go to work, no choice. He got on the scales last night, has lost almost a STONE with worrying about this building lark. Dont worry folkes, he isnt fading away, he could spare it. Our 18th Wedding anniversary today, been together 28. I bought him 2 blue roses he just planted and he bought me an antique gold moth orchd.

Because hello formers doesn't have an annoying theme tune that repeats every few seconds Dove!
Maybe if we ask Daniel and Nora they could come up with something ...................

Better than the chap who used to eat his over-filled mayo rolls at his desk then wipe his fingers on his chair seat
I once had to drive him to a meeting we were both attending ... during the journey he pulled his trouser legs up and gave his knees a good scratching
