Post you from a different era.

Huh... BMW have really stepped up their marketing activities over the last week. I wonder why? 🤔

I am sucking so many eggs on this training course that people from the US would be jealous of the sheer quantity, and slightly aroused with my eggy-sucky technique.

But... It's a certification that looks REALLY good on my CV, and it's better than doing real work.
The egg scene from the movie Airplane! with Dr Rumack (Leslie Nielsen) kneeling in front of the passenger Shirley (Mary Mercier) holding an egg in his right hand that he has just removed from her mouth. The stewardess Elaine (Julie Hagarty) is looking directly at the egg with a concerned look. Shirley's husband is to her left comforting her.

I'm home after a lovely weekend.

Today is also Elka's second Forever Home Day, and I cannot express the absolute joy she brings to my life on a daily, if not hourly, basis.

Love you, baby girl. 😍

Elka the dog sat on the sofa with her blankie, looking to camera. My right hand can be seen stroking her.

Sorry, just needed to make one tiny tweak to this image...
A painting of a woman laid on a bed, there is a candle burning next to her. She is raised on her elbows with a pained expression on her face. The caption reads "A mistake I made in 2013" but the 2013 has been crossed out in red ink and replaced with 1982. The caption over the woman's body reads "Me trying to sleep".

Had a sudden bout of nostalgia while I'm preparing breakfast.

On a Saturday morning Young Innocent (yes, there was a time) Roger would be bouncing in front of the TV waiting for this technicolour awesomeness to begin.

I have a poorly baby girl. She's finally stopped puking on every bit of carpet she could find, so I've wrapped up in her blankie, I have her favourite music on (classical piano), and that's us for the night. See you all tomorrow. 😘

Welp I have a full load of very wet, and very unwashed clothes! Good job that I am A Gay™ and have enough clean clothes to last a couple of weeks.

Let's see what the engineer says, but all I can hear is the ringing of Old Timey cash registers...

It was fun for the first 1 or 2, but now it's just tedious. 🙄

I'm not saying that I'm getting desperate, but...

Took the nephew to Costco.

Yeah, I show the yoofs how to party. 🤘

I have my nephew staying with me this weekend and Elka has been glued to him since he arrived.

I've been usurped. 😂

It seems everyone (including yours truly) is feeling some kind of way today. So here is a pic of Elka! Isn't she adorable?? 😍

Hope that helped. ☺️
