l will apologise in advance for my irritability, which is beginning to show, but I think that everything about the world is so utterly dreadful at the moment, that it is definitely beginning to affect my mood.

I must somehow get a grip but it is difficult.

Boat people being put straight into hotels makes me angry. Why, well because we have British born people, who can't afford private rents, sleeping in cars, vans, tents, and on the streets. They aren't offered any housing never mind a 4* hotel room with full board. British born people should be housed first imo.

loopyloo When I am irritable it tells me more about myself than others.

When I'm grumpy I walk dogs, I can set the world right whilst out walking and nattering to dogs as they don't ever talk back. smile

I do miss having a dog to talk to 😁

Dogs always cheer me up when I meet them on my walks. They are little characters and their owners tell me what they get up to. Some of them know me well and come rushing to see me for a fuss.

So sorry about your wee dog loopyloo.
Yes GNs aren't they just so enthusiastic and loving.

sazzl- British people have the choice to work for their keep- plenty of jobs available. Plenty too are in dire circumstances because of their own way of live, gambling,debts and other addictions, and choosing not to work

I am difficult at the moment because
My DH is at home all the time now.
My little dog is deteriorating and may be put down on Thursday
Have corns on my feet which are now a bit painful.
So the wifi going down was very irritating...

Thinking of you…hugs…

I'm sorry, loopyloo.

However, they never leave you, they always have a special place in your heart.

We adopt dogs, great to keep us walking.

Can't walk, not fair on a dog.
We have to think of the dog.

I fell and knocked my front teeth out, so was very conscious while the wires were in. It left me with a reluctance to smile. I have now made the effort and walk/drive around with a big grin. It is amazing how many folks respond and I even get a "good morning" or 2.

Give it a try. Then if you are on fb, follow Auntie Acid.

Sending hugs

I love Auntie Acid, FranP.

Good on you for making the effort and getting out there again AND with a smile on your face smile!
