The sadness can thus be shared with your virtual friends and followers, of whom you have many. You rightly have taken a place in our hearts and our thoughts are with you today. So glad your son is due home.
Difficult times. I thought today was the day to tell people. A day for happy-sad tears, if you get my meaning. 💖

First Valentine’s Day in over 30 years without Mrs Emerson beside me. I shall mark the day with beautiful memories, eternal gratitude, and a small, brave toast at sunset. 💖

Her ignorance is outstanding!
Can it get any more cringe?
This is how fundmentally cerebrally challenge the right in America are. Do people actually believe this drivel? Do these fools learn nothing in school? Quite bizarre.🤦🤡🤷♂️

Trump has moved to reopen the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument to commercial fishing, saying it will aid the industry without harming marine life.

Last night, I got properly "doored" for the first time. A car in the road to my right paused, and the rear left passenger threw open his door without looking, right into my path. I ended up on the floor, badly winded but ok.
If you don't know what the "Dutch reach" is, NOW is the time to learn.

Does our media control who is in government, or do we, the people, who elected Sir Keir Starmer for a 5 year term, get to decide?
The media have been trying to remove him from power since day 1, to over the decision we made.

Wish it were true.
Unnamed sources within the BBC are allegedly telling me this morning that the resignation of weasel political editor Chris Mason is imminent.
Close allies of Mr Mason allegedly say they recognise that nobody in politics or indeed the wider world, believes anything the snivelling little creep utters.
