You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae.

Can I have walnut sprinkles, a flake and no sauce please.

C23M went well, am very pleased. Nothing like a tip top speed but I covered the 3 miles faster than I feared. The pinto could hardly keep up. I may change into a slightly more topical outfit before the next outing.

No flake and sprinkles? Are you joining our triathlon? 30mins each discipline.

Yeah . Put me down for local hospice - Promrose Hospice in redditch/bromsgrove . Don't know where I'll find a bike or swimsuit, but I'll do it somehow

Way to go - I'm relying one the onesie swimming attire Captain poppypug (ents and haberdashery div) has crotcheted for me.

Totally agree Dozzer, puts everything else into perspective. This C23M approach is obviously working well :)

Yes, so you have Aldi not M&S; is it the end? I'm going M&S for my sister-in-law today though.

C23M excellent.

How's she getting on Dozz?

dozzer19Graduate in reply to AncientMum

Health-wise a bit tired but more worried about her mum to whom she's very close.

Isn't it often the way that the ill person seems to spend at least as much time worrying about their family as they do about themselves. Big hugs matey xx

Went well, you know what I mean. A sit and chat with someone different is a welcome change I would think.

I'm sure that's true x

Great philosophy m'dear. :) Got to be hazel nuts and chocolate sauce on mine. Misread your 'topical outfit' as tropical outfit and had momentary vision of you running through the streets in a grass skirt and pith helmet. Now there's a thought.......... x

Just saw Chariots of Fireish ancientmum - it's fantastic.

Glad you liked it! Have to do an ocarina duet sometime!

It's wonderful :)

I am a mere beginner compared to you... I could be your apprentice. The ocarina's I have were all my daughters and they are egg shaped.

A masterpiece! I never tire of watching it. For amusement, not vanity. Chortle.

I think the coconuts would finish the outfit off completely.

A coconut shell bikini? Genius! :)

I'd be slung out of the pool. Cross-dressing fancy dress!

Paul Walker, rest in peace. A tragic, pointless death.

dozzer19Graduate in reply to MarkyD

Yes. It seems such a waste. I know one or two who were stunned into silence by it. Just shows what happens if you mess around in fast cars.

I completely agree.

Was that topical or tropical? Grass skirt time Dozzer Sir? (Gets me coconuts out)

dozzer19 profile image
dozzer19Graduate in reply to I_will

They might clack a bit as I run.

Intrigued about your next outfit. Something topical ey .... wanders off rubbing chin

Yes, more frequent changes are needed. Thinnie the Pooh needs variation.

Whole Jammie Dodgers? Now that's just greedy.

You could also go for a sun hat hung with bounty bars :)

I have both in the store and shall head forth to Aldi shortly and get coconuts to replenish supplies. I am going anyway for a stair gate as my grandson is staying over tonight. If the sun shines here (not looking likely) I will get the paddling pool out and practice for the tri. He's the one who has kindly agreed to loan his trike with pushing handle and canopy to Captain (Second Lieutenant?) poppypug.

dozzer19Graduate in reply to lizziebeth57

Have fun with the grandson. Don't let Captain poppypug (ents and haberdashery div) hear you call her Second. Lieutenant - she's developed all these airs and graces. She may sulk

Giant Cadburys Chocolate Buttons would be my sprinkle! What ever life throws at us we have to make the very best of it and run with it xx I can't get the picture of you wearing a grass skirt and a coconut bikini top out of my head now! :-D :-D
