Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Morning peeps.

Good day at Ormskirk Market yesterday. Weather was fab and me and Mrs J worked our butts off selling to raise almost £650 for the animals. The hardest thing I found was having to be pleasant and engage everyone including the many gobshites in RS shirts ! Depressingly there was only 1 ( a child ) in an Everton top but countless RS ones!

Anyway we were made up with that total but bloody hard work. Retired to the garden and had a glass of wine in the early evening sun and woke up an hour later ! Fortunately I missed the England game ! Who really cares about international matches ?

Dilemna today @anjelikaferrett - do I go to yoga our watch the cricket? You just know that Root and Foakes will get out in the first 2 overs and we will fall 30 runs short.

@Sassy Colombian sorry you are still suffering from covid but great that you had the strength to post such a lovely photo for everyone on another thread lol .

Anyway - whatever you do have a lovely time.
Watch the cricket!
 
He has full back written all over him lol

I was RFB on my school team. Cardinal rule ...... first ball in, don't worry about the ball -m fair shoulder !!!! By the time the LCF has got his intestines back down from his mouth, the rest of the game is usually a piece of cake. lol

I was only ever booked once, for an innocuous little push in the Back as I was climbing to catch a ball.

Go to yoga. England will do exactly as you predicted!
 
A little happiness to share. Had heard a few Ukrainians had been placed here. Host families to help them settle in etc.

All the local lads go for a kick about on the club pitch every night now the weather has turned. If a game is on they wait there turn then pile on.

So tonight they made a new friend. 14 year old Ukrainian lad came up with his Mum and the same aged lad in his support family. Blended right in, 5 hours of football was played lol

My lad tells me his English is pretty good but he isn’t sure of his name yet. All meeting again tomorrow at 5pm for same again.
Oh how lovely.

Always good to give your marker a bit of a tickle early on to let him know you’re there.
 
Morning everyone. Hope you are all OK. Its lovely to see so many good things going on. Jazzy and his charity, Sassy and her upcoming protest march and Armagh Toffee making friends with a Ukranian. I think, amongst all the gloom and doom, we lose sight of how many kind and good people there are in this world. I need to get back into some sort of activism or volunteering. I do miss it. I was asked to join the local parish council but after attending one meeting that featured a two hour discussion on hanging baskets I realised this was not for melol.
Going to measure for some new stairs and landing carpet today. It desperately needs doing, the cat has wrecked the old one by scratching the bottom step.

Have a lovely day everyone.
 
Morning all, belting down here, literally raining on people’s parades. There‘s a Jubbly picnic and fun day planned for the town where son lives and grandkids were hoping to go so feel a bit disappointed for them but it has got me out of a difficult situation as we were invited along. My distinct lack of enthusiasm was greeted with”But it’s history, Nanny!” Pointed out other forms of history were available and whose history was it anyway? and received a look from DIL which told me to go no further ?. The Vanarama play off is on TV this afternoon so am going to watch that, then Wales/Ukraine later. @Sassy Colombian glad you are feeling better and good luck on the march next week, we will all be thinking of you. @Methuselah we will all be thinking of you tomorrow as you start your treatment best of luck ?. Have a relaxing day, everyone
 
It's hard work being Rosie.

She's lovely and nice and cozy it seems. She has settled in really well at your Jazz that's good.

I've just been out looks like the rain wants too start, anyway on the way back I always see this old Volkswagen beetle van, it has a slogan on the side "Urban outfitters, pay good money to look homeless" I never am sure if it's an official UO van so I was having a closer look and in the back window was a flaming sticker of a golliwog a fair sized one as well, I was proper shocked, so doubt it's official. Horrible that I think.
