The Virtual Lounge

[Anonymous]

well, fluffy onesie on + donkey brown boottee-tyle slippers

cuppa Twinnings tea = everyday variety, decaff + s/sk milk = no sugar +

Blue Ribband original choccy bic to hand

checking on my cat Marvellous Marty the Magnificent = beside me in his pet-bed under the wooden desk 

on which new basic desktop printer will be put = on or around next payday ..... I mean upon the wooden desk not upon the cat  

kicked my old basic Epson printer in frustration many many months ago 

therapeutic for me for about 3 nano-seconds but really, really bad for the printer 

well, let's see if there are many takers for my initial entry into the off-top unofficial world of 'the lounge area'

I am fine...my apartment is more in the little town (down the hill) Their villa is in an area renowned for its natural beauty. I was meant to be going tomorrow but have decided to give it a miss...

They don't need additional worry of having to come and pick me up etc etc....

Anyway...enough of that......I may go and jump in another tepid shower...Phew ...:smileywink:

Never in a million years did I think I would see me moaning about the heat....

We have had some bush fires started up in the hills nearby. My friends have a glorious villa up there and are quite worried...

Problem is round this area...these lovely villas are built to get away from it all...so are quite isolated...and are not high priority for the Spanish fire brigade who have to work flat out to stop the whole area going up

Very much a wait and see scenario...:smileysad:

thinking about you & your friends up in the hills ..... hope all is safe for you during the night & in the morning

As said...its a wait and see thing with my friends but they are as prepared as they can be...

My only gripe here is lack of sleep due to the unbearable heat...

Off for another cold shower....

I look a sight ..... = .... definitely a bad hair day today ..... off to meet my dancing teacher tomorrow, whom I've not seen in over 40 years ..... she comes through my town most Wednesdays, but due to bad traffic problems last week is to come by train & then onwards up the Dales later ..... can't wait to see her & want to look my best ..... 1st impressions do count

[Cleoriff]

Just want to point out that if I seem slower than usual responding to threads today.... its for many reasons

1)  It's hot

2)  Its VERY hot

3)  Its FAR too hot....

Add to all of that....

4) This WiFi is slow

5)  My emails have stopped

6) I can't type fast ...and...

7) I am far too old for this malarkey....
