    Enjoy your new dishwasher. I hope you have a ceremony planned for it's first use.

    Mr SW, trying and failing to use our son's microwave finally and uncharacteristically decided he'd have to ask for help.

    Son arrived, took in the situation at a glance and said, with just a hint of a smile, "Right. You put this (He waved the plug) into here (the socket) and then you press this switch down."

    Phone menu:

    "For 'Equipment Needs' press 1"

    "For 'Urgent Care' press 2"

    :?

    Email from dil in LA. Our grandson;s baseball was cancelled as temperature had sunk to 11c.

    Sounds balmy (and barmy) to me.

    Not today, but the first day we managed to get out after all the wealth of snow that had fallen.

    On the village green about 20 children, of various ages, were making a superb igloo supervised by three or four adults.

    It was so cheering and a small bit of it is still there.

    Playing Pool today with our family on our holiday campsite in Norfolk to keep indoors from the pouring rain our 10 year old made us smile. There was also a dart board. Her Mum (my daughter) asked her if she could play darts. Her reply was "Yes I can. I have played with the Scouts. You don't know everything about me even though you are my Mum!"
    So true!

    U.S.A. roadsigns - the ones actually written on the road - are written, logically, as one approaches them rather then as one naturally reads. So., where ours might say:
    STOP
    AHEAD
    here they say
    AHEAD
    STOP.

    Every year we snigger when we read what, in the UK would be
    SPEED
    HUMP.

    Sitting chatting in bed this morning The Spouse spotted one of my wayward witchy chin whiskers glinting in the sunlight. He ensured I realised he had spotted it: I joked that I would plait it with the others to make a goatee.

    'No need for you to do that,' he replied. My heart soared.

    'I can do it from here.' he concluded. My laughter roared. DD

    Sent by an old friend.

    I feel like my body has got totally out of shape,
    So I got my doctor's permission to join a fitness club and start exercising.
    I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors.
    I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But...
    By the time I got my leotard on,
    The class was over.

    It's scary when you start making the same noises
    As your coffee maker.

    THE SENILITY PRAYER:
    Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
    The good fortune to run into the ones I do,
    And the eyesight to tell the difference.

    From the same friend:

    Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead?

    Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

    Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

    Why do people keep running over a thread a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

    Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?

    Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

    This all made me laugh so much. Especially the hoover one!

    Things that make me smile: my three amazing nieces, the way they think I’m the coolest thing in the world and argue over who gets to sit next to me at mealtimes. And when they make up quirky dance routines to pop songs. Little fizzing balls of energy, genius and love. [emoji3590]

    My three and a half year old granddaughter
    Lily "What's your name?"
    Me "Gilli"
    Lily "That's not your name. Your name's Granny!"

    the same thing that makes me smile every day, my 4 year old grandson smiling at me from my laptop wallpaper, just melts my heart.
    I am from another planet, but its ok, they know me there.

    The sight of my daughters 8 week old kitten rolling and rubbing herself all over our 13 year old ridgeback dog while he slept absolutely cute. I am not sure if she was claiming him as hers or covering herself in his scent so she could hunt him.
