I can hardly wait for poppypug 's Friday dance, so I thought i would do a snippet, to pass the time! The lovely royalness of Irishprincess gave us some great snippets.:)

Here is today's offering for you to peruse, if you choose to!

I have been a tad too focused on negative folk in my life,lately, but I know,also, that running is excellent for banishing the grumps! So here is recent article on maybe why...:)

Thanks you,, it is a very interesting article too.. :)

When i taught, loads of my girls, and sometimes my boys, would sing in the yard.. always, always with American accents, because they watched so many singers who were American! Either that or the wonderful sing song Australian inflection at the end of a sentence... Kylie and Neighbours , ( If you are old enough to remember the early series..I am!) :)

New neurons?! Marvellous. You can never have enough neurons or shoes, as the old adage goes. I think.

Great article floss with lots to mull over. I'm sorry you're dealing with negative people. I have a low tolerance for such types as they can bring you right down and they're always a "glass half empty". But in life we do encounter them. I have a good friend who's like this and I try to feel sympathetic rather than irritated 😤 It's hard though isn't it?

We all love you for your uplifting posts and positivity, so please don't change 😊 xxx
