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'

it doesn't get better than this:

the phone rings at 8:30am

& its my son asking if he can come over now to install my new 3 in 1 printer

we have a full english brekkie out to start the day together

he fixed something in my laptop

& fixed my computer chair

all for his old mum

I'm not at all techy

& its lovely to see my son

Family is everything. I've just had my son over from Berlin for 5 magical days, not having seen him for six months.

Just makes you feel so warm inside.

I have my 5 Yr old granddaughter over the weekend..

I have my RedBull at the ready and i'll no doubt fall into a heap ,but contented when we have to hand her back to her Mummy & Daddy.

Good times BoB...I enjoy having the 3 year old granddaughter but she does wear me out....

My other grandchild is 15years old.....I looked after him a lot pre-school.

I couldn't do the same with the little one now (either they are getting more active....or I am getting older!)

Told her Mum and Dad I'm filling her up with E numbers and sugar before I give her back @Cleoriff

[Cleoriff]

@Anonymous  Sounds like a plan

I remember 'back in the day' before the effects of e-numbers was truly recognised, my youngest son was a real victim....(and so was I...)

He used to drink gallons of cheap squash....and his mood change was so noticeable. Pleasant one minute and

turning into a real monster within minutes!

Unfortunately he was 15 before I did my own nursing research on e-numbers and realised why we had all suffered for so long!!

He is 43 now and when he is in a mood I ask him jokingly, how many e-numbers he has had that day...

Well I've resisted to not fill her too with sugar etc just incase I get told off.

Yoghurt was her choice ~ oh and a small bar of 'One Direction' Chocolate.

Hi @Anonymous

You're welcome for the link.

I've been doing pretty well thanks.

Had our 5year old granddaughter over the weekend and we are all presently messing around with small coloured plastic rubber bands making wrist bands etc.

So far I've managed to twang myself several times ,and she's laughing and giggling at my poor attempts.

😞

Hope your feeling tip top.
