The perfect "Day" has just, officially, ended.


Woke up early and saw a Duck sitting in the middle of my lawn (a first in 25 years, even though a 180acre Park complete wuth Lake is 75 yards away). To my delight there was a Duck and Drake sitting contently together, next door, and I took some pictures. I saw the Lady next door smiling at me, as she was witnessing the same.


"Our" Duck was feeling like a Gooseberry, poor thing...


Then we had a great day out in The Country, despite the weather, visiting an excellent Country hostelry and I returned to Win some filthy lucre on-line.


Took the Dogs for a great walk and we bumped into other owners and went round in a Westie "Pack" and not one of the dogs wanted to go home.


Manwhile, Ladyfriend cooked the rare "feast" of Seafood that I randomly bought, including various types of fish that I had not had for years. Delicious.


Off to West London to the Casino and we had a good, enjoyable and successful night where you are even "allowed" to park on the Double Yellow Lines right outside the place, opposite The Natural History Museum in South Kensington in Cromwell Road.


35 minutes to drive home to Kent and not ready to go to bed just yet....


Screw The "Good Old Dayz"..."2009" is where its at, you get me ....:)-D


Here's to the next one....


When was your last perfect day in this Country?

Now you have given me a real dilemma KK!


My live-in, Jamaican Ladyfriend always says "Country" as in "he's from Country" and, inevitably, sometimes, the immediacy of this everyday usage rubs off on me, as in this case.


However, I have just been informed that there has just been a complaint that as I'm not, personally, Black, that I must not "parody" their street talk (even though it is URBAN talk that I was parodying ) used by the Yoof,sorry The Youth, of all Racial Groups these days, as most Public Transport journeys in Londonwill testify (which the complainant fails to realise)....sigh...


They, obviously, do not move in these circles as much as I do.


Now I was brought up to say "Countryside" so, on balance, THAT is the word I should have used, so Countryside it is....


p.s. Sorry it was such a mission to get to that stage KK...:))

I've just reviewed my post, immediately above this one and realised I have used "mission" instead of "circuitous journey" so apologies there, all-round.


Off back to Room 101 now as I'm obviously in need of more corrective treatment....NURSE.....

....Did I, ever, tell you about the time I visited my M8 Steve in Haywards Heath and his Sister wanted me to discover the delights of "Country Customs" which involved sharing her bed "Bob"...B)


Well Done Tony--I have reviewed this post and there's not a single blemish (Not even "Sistren" for "Sister") so keep up the good work !!--Ed.

If you insist Bobster...Stivvi Marble was bigger than me and so thats one Country Custom I had to forego...

I was going to respond to Sean's "ry" comment but realised in an innocent playful attempt I would have offended even more so wiv the remaining letters. I do so humbly apologise!


Why have I bothered to post anyway? Well, sometimes I do own up to my own stupidity and blondeness. I may possibly have offended anyway by my suggestion... oopsy! ;-)

    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
    • The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......  
    • Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
