I tried very hard not to condemn people for their beliefs, and if I think they're bonkers but will try to keep my thoughts to myself . But today took my breath away.
Watching a programme this morning with a discussion between a farmer, his wife and a vegan. The farmer had posted a nice picture of his cow on a social media site with her calf triplets, apparently quite a rarity. All was well for 24 hours, then a group of vegans started trolling. This mornings discussion left me speechless with the vegan saying that farmers were committing rape on their cows when having them artificially inseminated, why because the cows had not given their permission.
I decided I needed to bake more Christmas cakes so off I went , yes with a shopping list. Now half way round the supermarket I discovered they'd sold out of marzipan with that my brain just disappeared. So what did I do, I bought a Christmas tree. Yes I already have a Christmas tree Sat in the loft but it's covered in spiders. I hate spiders. Said tree , 2 meters high, is put in the car, no roof rack. Every time I go round a corner it hits me and deposits more needles in the car. Drag it out off the car more needles. Into the garage to fix it into the log/ stand, hole too small, push and shove yes more needles. Struggle it through the house leaving a trail of more needles. Take off the elastic netting, yes you guessed it needles have now exploded around the living room.
Now the lights, hunt out the box , test before putting on the tree thinking these are surely not the right lights, but the box saves Christmas lights, OMG only one set works. Off to buy more lights. Turn up at my basket making class an hour late with my Christmas lights. Home and on the tree. Next morning out comes the box of decorations and what do I find... the Christmas lights.
So now I have a blocked Hoover, more Christmas lights than I know what to do with, three cats who think theyve a scratching post and yes the dam marzipan that started it all.
Wednesday I was hanging out the washing and the line broke, no problem put up a new one but as it started raining I didn't finish it off by cutting off the left over bit.
Friday weather fine so I'll cut the grass, yes drove over the line and it wrapped itself around the blades, I'm not strong enough to lift it to remove it, call out handyman, but it's Friday afternoon so he can't come till Monday. Patience girl.
Sunday up a ladder putting a new roof on the car port. Fell off the ladder plank of wood hit me on the head, followed by the ladder cutting open my leg, totally squashed a shrub but it did slightly cushion my fall. Then ffs another plank fell off and hit the other side of my head
Monday couldn't walk the only the only place not sore were my feet, but the tondeuse got mended.
Today went shopping and the bandage fell off my leg, looked like knickers falling down
back home ok I'll cut the grass ffs drove over a branch and the fan belt has popped off and yes I haven't the strength to put it back on.
And really make my day one of the cats left me a dead mouse on the coffee table.
Can somebody please tell me in words of one syllable how to upload a photo to the forums/blogs from a kindle. I've looked it up and it says things like right click, but I haven't a mouse and so can't right click.
Thankyou
For all those who voted in the referendum, knowing what you know now would you still have voted the same way?
Oh the joys of country living. The sun is shining, the leaves are gently rustling in the breeze, the chickens are gently clucking whilst scratching for grubs with the c*ck calling when he has found a tasty morsel.
Then it starts they are having an air show... now I have chickens screeching round the garden with the c*ck trying to gather them safely, Windows rattling and as their flying so low and seem to be using my house for guidance for landing I'll be lucky if I have any leaves left on the trees. Then I'm told they'll be cutting the corn soon so I'll be inundated with mice. Omg I'm going out into town it will be quieter.
Having moved to a different country I feel very happy when my friends come to visit me. But sometimes certain ones take my breath away. A while ago I got an email from an acquaintance.
'We're looking for a cheap holiday so thought we'd visit you'
Cheap!!
I clean the house from end to end, change beds buy different shopping because you eat different to me, buy wine and soft drinks.
Then drive 2 hours to pick them from the airport and 2 hours back. Then drive them around the area sight seeing. Cook, wash up clean up after them and generally entertain, whilst still trying to do my normal life . Then back 2 hours to the airport and 2 hours back, then clean up after them.
A cheap holiday, for who?
It's rainy and windy and yes I know it's only July, but I'm going to bake my Christmas cakes. Yes plural, I've nine to do, well it was nine until I went to the shops for some bits and now it's ten. So chop chop mix mix.
