I love this. A hard working

Posted on Sat, 07 Jun 2025

I love this. A hard working capable employee. Your brain requires a different sort of discipline to cope with mundane tasks and do them well, day after day. It's sort of meditation. Remy growing his hair is sort of iconic, he keeps the rest of...

Thank you, Insert. This is something I started a few years back and I just unearthed it. Chapter 1 is really sweary...

Posted on Fri, 06 Jun 2025

Agree with you, UK self-checkouts often have all the staff who formerly manned the now redundant tills standing around like the gestapo watching you so you don't nick anything. The worst thing is when they emit that dull impatient bleep because...

Posted on Thu, 05 Jun 2025

An inciteful summing up of the current mood. It's impossible to imagine the future and difficult to plan for anything. The media constantly throwing threats at us, gloom and doom but how much of it is real? For sure our economy needs a huge shake...

I still haven't been to

Posted on Sun, 01 Jun 2025

I still haven't been to Scotland, Jenny. It's on my list of things to do. Heather and craggy rocks, a place away from man-made complications and the inconvenience of counting time. There is nothing more valuable.

Makes me realise how hard it

Posted on Thu, 22 May 2025

Reading this, I can relate to

Posted on Thu, 22 May 2025

Reading this, I can relate to the conflicted emotions in regard to people who are desperate but may also prey upon you, rob you etc. Not much has changed over the centuries, Jenny. How lucky Emily is to have a family and money to spend.

Posted on Tue, 20 May 2025

This is going to be very interesting Jenny. Pure escapism from another era. I really like the descriptions of the house and objects from the time. A wealthy family who also care about those who struggle with less. Emily, a young lady with her...
