I got a P45 today but I am now singing “chili in the slow cooker” to the tune of Firework. #swingsandroundabouts #silverlinings #roughwiththesmooth #otherplatitudes

Refreshing change to sack a white guy, though #swingsandroundabouts

Hamish, the Bernese, forges ahead on the steps down to the beach.

Yum! Hot guac is the biz. Bunged a whole chook in the air fryer and had it with Stornoway black pudding, mash, asparagus (YAY!), and copious amounts of wine. Any and all health benefits of this morning’s giant jaunt with Hamish are now definitely cancelled out. #swingsandroundabouts

Yes and yes.

Very frosty this morning. But sunny. #swingsandroundabouts

When you can't completely ditch certain services/suppliers due to friend/family obligations, but then ditch those you can, due to twatwaffle owners, with extreme prejuduce *LeSmug*

When I got my first free one last year, I may have answered a bit too loud "No!" when asked if I pay for my prescriptions. #GettingOld #SwingsAndRoundabouts

Such a productive day! Decluttered my kitchen cupboards, hall & living room cupboards and too a load of stuff to the recycling centre. Yay me! 🙌🏻😃
Then broke my back tooth at dinner. Ouch 😩 #SwingsAndRoundabouts

But….the cafe… #swingsandroundabouts

Chilli in a pan

It’s a dismal day but chilli for tea #swingsANDroundabouts

‘Repatriate the gold’: German economists advise withdrawal from US vaults Shift in relations and unpredictability of Donald Trump make it ‘risky to store so much gold in the US’, say experts

I love this. How about selling off US Bonds as well!! Who’s really the “vulnerable country” #SwingsAndRoundabouts

thats where I saw your godot post though as all the other shit was flying past. :D #swingsandroundabouts

Today I spent £30 (of a voucher) on a reissue of an album I could’ve gotten an original copy of for £40 last year #gemstones #adamgreen #swingsandroundabouts

If George Harrison hadn't died there wouldn't have been a memorial concert to miss.
#swingsandroundabouts

I'm just taking the piss. The storm was a disappointing non-Event, but it was tracking north during the day, so maybe Donald got to see high waves

#SwingsAndRoundabouts

It does make me a little sad because Beckenham is really close to me! #SwingsandRoundabouts

Re: EV charge/mile. Questions about if you are driving across Europe you’re not using UK roads “its not fair”.
Same thing happens at the moment with petrol cars - you fill up at Dover & pay UK roads charge, then drive some way across France on EU roads. #SwingsAndRoundabouts
Stop moaning #r4today

Budget day. #swingsandroundabouts

Takes the heat off my vegetarianism tho

#SwingsAndRoundabouts

Orders chaos.
One, instead of two, bottles of gin arrived. Dead silence from distillery despite emailing.
Different company: one correct item arrived & one incorrect (but very nice) item. I get to keep that, anyway, & correct item reordered. 🤞
#SwingsandRoundabouts

Really nice guitar. Shit singing. #swingsandroundabouts

Running buddy and myself swapped our usual Thursday night chip run for an evening spa.

On the upside, lots of lovely sauna-y relaxation.

On the downside, no chips...

#swingsandroundabouts

These things can have their advantages. Hope you can make the most of your day.
Enforced stillness when my ribs were really bad meant I could knit without feeling I should be weeding or cleaning. #swingsandroundabouts

Today we have been to the Fun Day at my current place of work. I didn’t win the Raffle but I did have a Big Ice Cream with Red Sauce #swingsandroundabouts

Given some of the shrubs a haircut, along with the ones in the front garden and the ivy covering the gate post. Grass looking a bit rubbish but at least it isn't needing as much cutting while the weather is dry! #swingsandroundabouts

Wait until you get to 60! Although I did pick up my first free prescription the other week. #SwingsAndRoundabouts

However we always had soft toilet paper. #swingsandroundabouts

I have my last Marathon to Dave for doing the garden gate. Then I received a Double Decker gift the same day. #swingsandroundabouts

Oh look, the melting of glaciers and ice caps by the climate crisis could unleash a barrage of explosive volcanic eruptions, a study suggests.
