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! ;-)

    • Not sure what you mean by "involved with firework enjoyment"? I'm all for others enjoying themselves, and I like fireworks, but if they were limited to public displays then people could still enjoy them? Having said that, I see that tickets for the London New Year fireworks start at £20 (Dawson's Heights it is,  then!) The fireworks in Brockwell Park used to be free. I don't know why those don't happen any more?
    • Really interesting discussion here. It's difficult to respect the views of people who support Farage, Trump, Musk etc. Why should we, when their views are deplorable. But then that exact 'deplorable' label, as we know, is counterproductive and drives people to double down / switch off to more progressive views. How do you actually help change minds? We're currently spiralling into dark places culturally and politically imo. The amount of open racism, even amongst front line politicians here and in the US is astounding to me. Feels like we're going backwards. The influence of social media and the tech billionaires / bros, is a powerful and largely malignant one. There was an enlightening (and frightening) bit of journalism by Sky this week about Musk's influence on British politics. He has a strange obsession with the UK and London in particular (as do many on the US right wing): https://news.sky.com/story/the-x-effect-how-elon-musk-is-boosting-the-british-right-13464487
    • Looking for any tickets to the Dulwich Hamlets game against St Albans today!
    • I'm going to Paris with friends, staying in the 3rd arrondissement. I used to go a lot but that was ages ago so wondered if anyone has any 'insider tips'? We are interested in small art galleries, independent shops, good value cafes and restaurants that may not feature in all the many online articles or guides, thanks!
