There was a little Robin out on the patio here earlier, looking for food I think he was. I gave him a slice of toast, he's been breaking it up and taking it away. Presumably he's taking it to his family in the nest, I suppose he could be selling it to his mates in the B&L.

He seemed happy enough anyhow.

There could very well be birds out there singing a wonderful song, but I wouldn't know as our eldest grand daughter is with us and I’m surprised Dicky and Bobbers can’t hear her from there.....ye gods that girl is loud grumpy
Yes, slopes, they can indeed chuck out some decibels!!! I have tinnitus in my left ear from a few months ago when her Mum had to go back into hospital with the baby for a couple of nights. Separation anxiety, they call it. I call it deafening screaming! yikesbigmouthearsweepingeekheadache

Why is your grand daughter making a commotion?
Because it’s her mums weekend to work, so we have her the whole weekend and because she has a full vocabulary at 3 yrs old, she is shouting questions at nanny. Not asking them quietly but shouting them. I swear blind she has no concept of volume control that girl.

What about her dad i hear you say?? At home in bed because he has depression due to his dad recently passing away.
Unfortunately he used to do exactly the same thing whilst his dad was still alive and blamed it on his anxiety.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with his comments before his daughter was born that he only wants boys and if its a girl, then my eldest step daughter can give her back as he isnt interested.

And they are getting married soon so that is increasing his anxiety and depression.



Hence why we have her all weekend.

Yes, that little robin seemed happy enough, but he has probably never thought about a ham & cheese & coleslaw butty.

Can you imagine: A bread roll containing ham AND cheese AND coleslaw? Eh?

No, I don't suppose any of us plebs can envisage such a gourmet feast.
If that little robin encountered it, he would probably keel over with the shock.
I am feeling a bit faint and wobbly myself.

But will I go for a lie down? I don't think so! I cant afford the precious time I have left today.
I have to go out foraging for grit for dinner.

More like a glimpse of an episode of Eastenders or similar.
It's all rather depressing. Slopes' grand daughter's father doesn't realise how lucky he is to be able to afford the time to wallow in self pity like that.
He needs his ar5e kicking.
He wouldn't have lasted long in the war!
Chin up and nose to the grindstone, buckle down and keep calm. Get on with it. Pull your weight not your plonker. nono Shape up or ship out. Wedding? Forget it!

Buy him a dummy. And I don't mean an inflatable sheep for the poor lamb.



Gosh, I didn't know I was so good at sympathy. angel

Yes well, the poor little lamb has it ever so bad and i just simply don’t understand how horrible life is.

I’m going to stop before i start off on a rant.

In other news, i’m working my way through Breaking Bad.....i know i know, i’m only about a milennia behind the times but in my defence.....oh look a dancing squirrel

Well it's been a great first half, I don't think the score reflects the quality of the rugby being played by both sides!!

Can you pick me up some more beers please glenrobbo, seeing as you're going to the shop!!!
