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
ReplyDeleteMost of the city centre is closed.im going to a multiplex now against my better judgement
DeleteMost 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
DeleteIt’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….
DeleteTweetart..
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.
ReplyDeletePrince William will be attending !
DeleteOh, 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)
ReplyDeleteYes Trump is still creating hell in the background
DeleteI am honestly astonished that he is even a thing, AGAIN.
DeleteHappy Friday, John. Glad you took some time off to enjoy yourself a bit! xx
ReplyDeleteYes, I’m enjoying the pace change, not getting up too early and going to bed late
DeleteOh, that made me laugh, like living with teenagers! At least they don't roll their eyes and go into a strop when you say something - or do they? xx
ReplyDeleteNo the Welsh never grumble but I know my next bulldog will
Deletehoohoooo we are gonna get a bulldog ;)
DeleteHave a great Friday. Hope gridlock isn’t too bad
ReplyDeleteIt didn’t bother me I never went
DeleteOh gosh this made me laugh! Adolescent Welsh. What a mental picture. If you crash the wedding, please wear your shirt without the gravy stains.
ReplyDeleteThat's an adult you're telling what he should wear!
DeleteJesus! Lighten up
DeleteLee
YES LEE AGAIN!!!!!!!
I’m with Lee on this one
DeleteIt was actually said in jest. Sorry for the offense.
DeleteThat btw was Debby.
DeleteAlways say it’s you Debby , then no offence taken x
DeleteI 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.
DeleteThe above was Debby again. Honestly.
DeleteLee - Is Jesus your only friend? You call for him often.
DeleteHave a wonderful weekend John.
ReplyDeleteHave a peaceful one Yael xx
DeleteWhn you meentioned THE wedding I thought you were going to sy you had an invite!!
ReplyDeleteI do know several people who are going for what’s that’s worth. Xx
DeleteMy terrier is like a tightly coiled spring bless him - He had a previous poor start x
ReplyDeleteTerriers can go one way or another , feisty they are
DeleteGod I’m sounding like Yoda
Enjoy your time off x
ReplyDeleteAlison in Wales x
I am
DeleteIn wales too x
Strange that you're somewhere you know will be gridlocked - do you need to feel part of it?
ReplyDeleteA sign of a good counsellor is somene who can bear t be on their own,not constantly yearning for something else.
What a fucking odd thing to say
DeleteIn the end I went to Broughton to a cineworld
To Anonymous may I answer you? I have only one word: WOW.
DeleteHow do people come up with this crap?
DeletePerhaps one day you'll feel happy and content in your own skin.
ReplyDeleteYou won’t and that’s for sure !
DeleteLee
I am fine in my own skin
DeleteTo paraphrase Lee
“ Jesus “
Oh yes, when you say "open sesame" on the internet, you take your chances, LOL!
ReplyDeleteYes and some are more vulnerable
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThe angry and damaged do often find solace and validation in the web me thinks
DeleteLee
A good point YP
DeleteLife is better lived than criticized.
ReplyDeleteMy soon to be partner in this new life we have planned. ;)
teasing you
I agree
DeleteOoh what is this - another stalker?
DeleteThe LISPING CHOIR IS BACK DOING ABBA !
ReplyDeleteLove it
Keith
Xx
❤️😲
ReplyDeleteAh Hollywood, what have you done to us?
ReplyDelete"I loved the way as a dirt poor she always looked dressed by a Paris fashion house"
ReplyDeleteSo 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.
Your day sounds really good with a nice gently pace.
ReplyDeleteAvocado 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!
ReplyDeleteUh-oh. I fear that I "badmouth others whilst showing off (my) mental dexterity." Don't abandon me, John!
