Sitting here feeling as rough as can be. Since I stopped drinking I can't handle it when I do. I feel poisoned. On the plus side were going to a party this afternoon! :sick:

Garden party is postponed until 6-7 as it was pissing down. Still waiting for it to stop raining so we can walk round there. :wtf: Feel sorry for my mate as he has just had a garden bar built but it looks like we'll all be inside! Worse summer ever! :roll:

Had our friends over today. First guests we've had in the house! We used to be neighbours and their twins are happy little 4 year old girls at the "constant questions/chatting stage of life". Such fun to have them over and we were able to catch up and just enjoy a lazy afternoon of good food and conversations. Ended up having the lovely coffee (Monsoon Malabar) which they had seen in a place near Norwich of all places a couple of weeks ago.

Just finished a lovely roast lamb my colleague cooked at work today, have spent the morning watching the rain rinse my bike off after I cleaned it.

The weather in UK really has been shit lately. Barely going above 20 up in Bradistan and Leeds. And mostly wet.
I remember nice summers there.

Lots of idiots stag off my lovely island, but we can guarantee BBQ weather 360 days a year :)

Is there a reason why someone not having the same perception of you as whether a particular place is ‘lovely’ or not makes them an idiot?

Or is it just some of your insecurities surfacing?

I just find your constant smugness a bit forced, a bit weird and a bit sad.

Hey ho. Takes all sorts.

I'm happy all the time. You moan all the time.

I don't let miserable people drag me down, I use them for entertainment.

Don't stop posting about how good things are, I buzz of seeing people do well - and the added bonus is I get entertainment from the whiners whining :thumbup:
