Friday


 It’s Friday already. 
And what fun, I’m not working the weekend because I’ve taken annual leave this week and last. 
This means instead of four full days taken with college, counselling, and work, I’ve only had to deal with my counselling day which is going ok at the moment. 
I enter the day leisurely and think of what I’m going to do only after preparing breakfast which gives the day its pace. Luckily the Welsh are even more laid back and refuse to even get up for a wee early.
It’s like living with teenagers.


I’ve made avocado toast and strong coffee and read the blogs and the tiktoks. I’m down to a dozen all told, and prefer the newsy chatty  over the ones who badmouth others whilst showing off their mental dexterity.
The internet is a sad Aladdin’s cave for the angry and the mentally ill I’m afraid.

I’m off to the cinema to see a western but I forgot it’s the Duke Of Westminster’s wedding today and Chester will be gridlocked
Anyhow I cancelled my ticket and went to the cineworld in Broughton to see The Dead Don’t Hurt.
A glum western with a French/Canadian heroine in the shape of the talented Vicky Krieps 
I loved the way as a dirt poor she always looked dressed by a Paris fashion house

    Why will Chester be gridlocked because some entitled toff's getting hitched? Does anybody even know or care who he is? BA

    2. Most roads near the Storyhouse were affected so I changed plans and went to Broughton. I don’t like going to multiplexes I prefer to support charities like The Storyhouse or going to smaller , less popular art house picture houses

      It’s the wedding of Hugo Duke of Westminster and his lovely bride Olivia, they are not just “some toffs” they do a huge amount for various charities and the city of Chester and its surrounding areas….

  2. You could put on your best and crash the wedding. Just show up and act like you belong there. Or put on scrubs and act like you are there to help someone.

  3. Oh, the joy of avocado toast! LOVE love, with some bacon! I follow a few blogs and TikToks that I enjoy, and just scroll past most of the others. Love the TikToks with sweet or funny doggos or cats, and avoid the ones as you said, that seem to be a place for the angry/mentally ill. I just prefer to watch the stuff that makes me feel good, and not what makes me sad to be an American. (that's a tough one right now)

      I was the original comment. Not sure who the anon was that found it all so very troubling. It made me smile to think of an affable fellow in a gravy stained shirt mingling with the manor born.

    Strange that you're somewhere you know will be gridlocked - do you need to feel part of it?
    A sign of a good counsellor is somene who can bear t be on their own,not constantly yearning for something else.

  15. I disagree that the internet is a place for "the angry and the mentally ill". Nearly all the people I have met via the internet have been decent, kind-hearted humans. However, I will concede that there are a small number of cruel, big-headed pillocks knocking around.

  19. "I loved the way as a dirt poor she always looked dressed by a Paris fashion house"

    So true with most movies, even ones that strive to be "realistic". After all, it's a big screen, and audiences want nice-looking people looking down at them.

  21. Avocado toast. Tres chic! Again, I thought you were talking about all the Welsh in general and I thought, no one in that country even gets up early for a pee? I’m moving there!

  22. Uh-oh. I fear that I "badmouth others whilst showing off (my) mental dexterity." Don't abandon me, John!
