I have been a bit busy with ‘life stuff’ over the past couple of days, so have got badly behind with replying to comments and reading the posts of the bloggers I follow.
My apologies for that. But I am starting to catch up, and will hopefully get to everything over the next few days.

Because we finally had a taste of Summer this week, I had to bite the bullet and do some outside, ‘jobs’, GP. But I should hopefully be back to normal service by late tomorrow.

I really like the term “life stuff.” It reminds me of the “stuff” that used to go on before I retired. Warmest regards, Ed

Exactly, Ed. As a contented retiree, ‘life stuff’ gets in the way of my usually idle routine!

Life does tend to get in the way. We’re off to a Bryan Adams concert tomorrow and the IOW on Friday. Can’t wait to get back swimming next week now that my hand is healing up.

I got put off Bryan by the Robin Hood theme song that was number one for what seemed like a lifetime. But enjoy the gig, and the IOW. Glad to hear your hand has healed enough to go swimming.
Best wishes, Pete.

I’m sure he’ll sing other songs as well (let’s hope).

Pete, let me just say that you are not alone. There’s an old Pennsylvania Dutch (which, by the way, isn’t Dutch at all and should be Pennsylvania “German”) saying with more than a bit of truth to it: “The hurrier I go, the behinder I get.” So take your time. You are not forgotten.

Thank you, Angela. I am getting close to being caught up now. We had a sudden improvement in the weather, a taste of Summer. That meant many outside jobs had to be done before the rain returns.
Best wishes, Pete.

A taxidermist I know strongly opposes life stuff. “You should only stuff dead animals!”

That “life stuff” manifests in abundance. Sometimes it’s telling you more of this and less of that. I saw a plaque that said Life – What Happens Between Coffee and Wine. Nothing in there about sitting in front of the computer🤣 Stay Calm and Carry On

You know we are always here Pete for whenever you have the chance to stop by! I did notice that one very engaged Blogger has, for the past month now, stopped interacting completely and just posts promotions of their content…too bad really
