Just doing some 3am spam vigilante work. It would be easier if the damn wifi would stop dropping out all the time though superfast fibre connection and a shiny new router and it can't even transmit upstairs reliably. I have a head torch and a book in case I need to fall back on analogue entertainment. Old school
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
We went to the German Market in Birmingham a few years ago. Fortunately, we had an overnight stay in a central hotel because by about 1pm it was impossible to move in the market. We were also basically being swept along with the crowd and it was not a pleasant experience. We went back to the hotel and then returned to the market in the evening when things had quietened down a bit. We also went out at soon as the market opened on the Sunday morning and got about an hour in before the hordes descended and it was chaos again.
On the subject of funerals I really couldn't care less what happens to me when I die as I believe that when you're dead you're dead and that's it. I don't just have no religious beliefs, I'm anti religion. Nevertheless I have discussed it with my wife as it wouldn't be fair on her to have to make arrangements and not know what was wanted.
I think having the discussion is the key thing KT. I no longer have a partner, and don't intend having another, so it'll probably fall to my daughters to make arrangements. We regularly joke about it and they know my thoughts, and that I'll have a list of songs to be played. It will include a Dylan song of course, and everyone has to sing along doing their best impersonation. I shall be lurking in the nether world having a r*ddy good laugh
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Why is it that the seagulls always poop on the windows soon after the window cleaner has been ... why don’t they do it the day before he’s due ... and how do they know?

They're in cahoots I expect. It stops you noticing any little smudges if there's a massive splodge down the middle. He probably pays them in chips

Near here, there's a row of street lights arched over a slow-moving approach to a junction. Each light can accommodate four pigeons or seagulls -usually the latter. 🐦🐦🐦🐦
Gah. After a week of the baby being ill and 2 nights of him running a high temperature and refusing to sleep if it wasn't on someone, I finally managed to put him down to sleep in his bed at 4am last night and crept off for some much needed sleep. An hour later a cat walked past the patio doors and sent the dog into a frenzy of barking and everyone woke up again. Sadly I didn't see who's cat it was or I might go and ring their doorbell at 3am tonight.

The neighbours have embraced the flashing Christmas outside lights with gusto. There is one house (fortunately out of sight unless l go outside), that had presumably had them going all night, as they were flashing away at 6.45am. However, my curmudgeonly heart was melted just a little when one neighbour took her 3 year old son to look at them last night. His little face !
