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'

Bound to upset @Cleoriff but I was quite pleased for the winner and the team. Could be an exciting season now.

Actually it didn't upset me too much @jonsie  It was great to see some proper racing with real excitement. As much as I dislike Vettel  I was really pleased for Ferrari.

More upset about the stupid Mercedes team tactics actually. ...there will be a lot of discussion about the way they played that race...

[jonsie]

I agree, a very poor strategy from Mercedes and they have a bad record as far as tactics are concerned.

the cat woke me up early ..... so it's an early morning large cuppa Yorkshire tea, with the odd biscuit ..... slowly coming round to the day ..... feet upon the coffee table (no-one else is in here) listening to some chill-out music on the virtual lounge music system

My cats always wake me up early....although Bugsy must have known I felt all anyhow yesterday as he lay on the pillow purring like a small motorbike most of the night...

Weather still grim and I think its about time we had some SUN...

awwwwwwwwwww Bugsy ..... yes, how cats know & respond when you are 'under the weather' is uncanny & comforting ..... when my mum, years ago learned, by a visit from a policeman, that her dad had passed away (he lived in the Midlands in a small village next to RAF Cosford) ..... well Sacha just came up to mum = walked right up her as she was sat down crying & almost licked her tears

sun is shining here, birds twittering, but for how long I can only hope ..... getting a bit dressed up for elevenses with a good female friend I havn't seen in quite some time as she has a busy live ..... may stay on for lunch by myself ..... with taxi home = should walk but don't think my legs will be that steady 

[Cleoriff]

You have a damn good day @Anonymous  and 'indulge yourself'...who cares if you need a taxi home..its nearly Easter after all..?

Tuesday is bin day for me. It was wonderful as half of them ended up on their side....blown over by the wind...and the rubbish everywhere. Of course it isnt the binmans job to pick that up though is it?...

[jonsie]

Nope, our fault for not taking weather condition into account and weighting down with house bricks.....:smileywink:

Don't get me started on refuse collection in my neck of the woods. We had a leaflet delivered last week telling us all the stuff that has suddenly become NON recyclable. Pizza boxes because of the grease...envelopes that use a certain type of glue to seal them...envelopes with windowed paper in...as this doesn't recycle  etc etc etc etc....in fact the list is so long I have decided everything will go in my normal black bin.

I don't get paid to do their job...and I do pay my council tax
