Yawn, Yawn, Wakey Wakey!! 2016

Good morning all my friends ,enjoy your day and keep smiling through

 

Aloha everyone,

It's another lovely sunny day and the sprinkler is already working hard.

Mrs Shiney didn't really enjoy her day up in London yesterday. There were problems with delays and breakdowns and the person she went to meet was so disorganised that it upset her. They were supposed to be going out for lunch but when Mrs Shiney got to the woman's hotel, late, at 1 p.m. she was still floating around in her dressing gown. She said she would just have a quick shower and get ready but then started replying to texts (she spends all her time on the mobile). After fifteen minutes Mrs Shiney told her she was going to go to lunch on her own and started walking towards the door. (We both have a 'thing' about the unsocial intrusion of phones on social events, except when it's important for business, and ban them being used in social company in our house.)

The woman got up and said she would have her shower straight away and started walking to the bathroom with the phone in her hand. Mrs Shiney told her to leave her phone behind whilst having a shower! Apparently, during lunch she kept looking at her phone on the table. So Mrs Shiney was on edge all the time. She has decided not to meet up with her again when she comes to the UK next year. It's too frustrating and so anti-social.

We had a friend, of many years, who had become addicted to her phone and wouldn't go anywhere without it, never turned it off and panicked if it was out of sight! She, and her husband, came up to join us for a few days in the Lake District and after spending the first 45 minutes of our walk, on the first day, doing social texting I told her that she can't walk with us if she doesn't put it away! Her husband, a doctor, told me that she was addicted and I said that I don't care (hard man!) and she's either with us or with her phone. The other days they didn't come out walking with us and our other friends!

End of rant!

Keep well and have a great day

Aloha!

 

@moyra I agree, when I went to pick Mrs Shiney up at the station twenty one other people got off the train and all but one were on their phones - either talking or texting. One of them walked into the side of a taxi that had just pulled up!

 

Yeah, yeah! We've heard that one before.

 

Wow! that's modern.

 

Good morning I suppose that in 20 years or so they will prove that mobile phones damage your brainnever mind we don't use them at all as they are an invasion on our privacy, have a lovely afternoon my friends and turn your phone off

 

Good morning everyone its a overcast and raining this morning,but Woo is full of brightness and bouncabilityhave a cracking day and make it count

 

Aloha everyone,

one, two, three.... - just trying to follow @wiseowl instruction and making it count

Yesterday afternoon we, finally, got some much needed rain here in Shineyland and I'm sure that I heard the garden give a sigh of relief.

The sky is now brightening up and I'm having a go at improving my bouncability. I still can't do too much bouncing as it makes me take deeper breathes and that doesn't help my chest problem. It doesn't stop me doing things but I just have to do them a bit slower.

I picked loads of rhubarb tomorrow and managed to sell 35lb of it Lots more to be picked but it will have to wait. I had to stop picking yesterday because this funny wet stuff started falling out of the sky so didn't get a chance to empty the wheelbarrow of rhubarb leaves. So that will be my first job out there. Well over 100 rhubarb leaves weighs a lot more than you would think!! They usually weigh a lot more than the rhubarb fruit as most of them are almost 3ft across

I've got lots of organising type things to do today and allocating a lot of jobs, diplomatically.

Keep well and have a great day.

Aloha!
