I still think your rabbit has run off. We should organize a search. Who's with me?

Yes, I am with you
All Watchers should be onboard
(At least I think so)

Menolly's rabbit
Is greatly missed and must be
Restored unto her!

Still, several cancers
Have not robbed her of her hare
So that's some comfort...
Yes, I am an alt
Whose? An open secret to
Attentive Watchers

Rabbits work fir me, too. Don't know why, but I just like them. Might have something to do with having immensely enjoyed reading Watership Down.

Nevertheless, the rabbit has failed. We have long since fallen into the flames and ruined the hobo dinners to boot.

Just imagine how much worse it would be if the rabbit wasn't called upon the 1st of each month. 😉

I concede the potential validity of your point. We must capture the rabbit, strap him down Clockwork Orange style, and force the happiness from him.

I'm always partial to a red wine sauce myself... :D

Otherwise, meh...good as can be I guess.

We're back to moderately severe rolling blackouts as they try and prop up the crumbling electricity infrastructure, I shall definitely have to have this damn tooth removed, and I'm just a bit tired.

Otherwise all good really. :D

Sorry to hear about the tooth, Av. I had all mine out over 30 years ago. Not recommended but at least I don't have the bother of having to find a dentist! They are few and far between over here.

Some of you may remember that some years ago my eldest grandson, Patrick, was diagnosed with ADHD. His younger brother Philip, was also diagnosed with the same. Patrick was 17 in May and I discovered on Sunday that he has left home, is sharing a house with 2 other lads, and is working on a construction site!! It all seems to be above board, my son says he had to show various forms of ID to secure the share. I do worry about him though.

Philip, who was 16 on Sunday, has just done his GCSEs and is planning to go on to 6th form to do A levels. He's a strapping lad but I wish he would speak properly. He talks so fast and mumbles so that I can't understand half of what he says. Perhaps it is the fault of my hearing. I find that if two things are going on at the same time I cannot properly hear either.
I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!

Spent the day at the hospital. Had a follow up visit with my hematologist and then spent seven hours in emergency trying to track down the reason for the severe left hip pain I've had for over two weeks. X-rays and CAT scan confirm an old lumbar fracture I had no idea about, but current pain source is unknown. Prescribed muscle relaxant and PT, and hope for the best.

I'll continue to see my chiropractor as well.

Lack of patience can be an ADHD trait. We get bored easily and often rush through things.

Taking a week to see parts of Michigan. We spent two days in Frankenmuth. Now headed to Mackinac Island. Just stopped to take pics of Lake Huron.

I know, right! But what are the odds I would hit the right two week period?
