Thank you for posting @guypjfreak. That's the perspective we all need every once in a while. Eliza is amazing.

That's lovely Guy.

Although I can't help thinking that some adult sized versions of that might be useful for about 2am stumbling around the farm... 😂

I've decided to get my old bass guitar down from the loft and learn bass again, decided I needed something to A) make me think B) give me a few hours away from a screen and C) confidence when when I learn a particular bassline. Starting off with easy lines such as Seven Nation Army and working my way up to things such as Mexicola.

Nice. Determined to get back to learning my geetarr this year; as you say it's good to have things that take you away from a default setting like tv or your phone.  Mrs Q's invested in a couple of colouring books, and I've got back into doing the crossword and sudoku in the back of the Big Issue. We've also picked up some board games over Christmas. It's just good to have something you're actively participating in, as telly is very passive.

It's why I also like the retro gaming thing. Yes it's still on a screen, but it's not just sitting there and letting it happen to you.

My four year old nephew started learning Spanish, but after six weeks he couldn’t even say please. Which I thought was poor for four.

Hello dingbat2,

I like the 'we' bit. It's me that found it! 

As an aside, I only came across (stop it!) that joke earlier yesterday. I'm not into 'jokes' really, but admired that one, so eventually posted it here. Of course, had I known that it would result in my mockery, I'd have posted it much sooner yesterday. You know the way it is with being brought up a Roman Catholic and the desire to self flagellate by any means possible!? Or, perhaps you don't. Don't ask me. Anyway, must dash and do some squat thrusts because this cilice is feeling far too comfortable.

Todays good news Ive been in hospital had a general aneasthetic and a procedure (wont disclose the details too much information and would make you squirm) Now back at home with 5 days of tv to look forward too!!! I feel as high kite and Im sure I went to Glastonbury for a few hours this morning!!! 
Nurses and consultant were amazing so kind considerate informative and keeping spirits up!! 
All we have to do is stay at home and wear a mask very little compared to what they are dealing with daily!! 
Thank you NHS!!! 🌈

No, we are usually too far south to see them though they have been visible on rare occasions. If I saw strange lights in the night sky I would probably be more worried about something happening at the nuclear sub base just up the coast 😁!

It’s a snow day again! I might attempt a better pic today 

[squirrelarmy]

Snow is crazy today. Avoid the Pennines!

Leeds has been obliterated by the snow

Roads are almost impassable unless you’ve got 4wd

 

But the Asda deliveries are still going through with a bit of help
