Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark but remains dry here in Brackley this morning.
Today , will be a nice quiet day of laundry and housework, after yesterdays coach trip to Bath.
I shall watch the Vuelta Tour of Spain cycle race on TV after lunch.
Health OK gaining weight.
Take Care,
Mick

My thoughts and sympathy are with FGT today at this difficult and sad time.flowers

Good Morning from the West Midlands. So glad to be here on Gransnet. I ventured just like Pinochio into the big, bad world of another social media site, wow!!
Wow again! It was full of hate, misogyny, bile & tripe! I felt grubby after visiting, Gosh the World is a scary place now!

Ilovedogs22- Hope you are not scared for life! I once ventured onto Mumsnet and never again!!! Bloody hell!!! I thought I had had my head blown off! Take care. This site is really friendly and you will enjoy it.

Oh thank you why,why,why, you're right about Gransnet being very agreeable & open-minded. It really is a pleasure to interact on here; I look forward to it each day.
I went on to *^ddit & made a funny pithy comment about the differences between human courtship & plant pollination, as you do!
However someone actually complained & I was banned from the Horticultural forum. How was a funny, innocent observation banned yet all the malicious, toxic sexual tripe is merrily ignored!
Strange World Indeed! ๐ŸŒŽ
Ps Ironically I am a trained Hort!
