  1. I love the Random Thoughts post .. lol @ not wanting to work with that guy. Is Mr. Perfect a coaster or mouse pad? I would love the Hogwarts and the Platform 9 3/4 signs. I was laughing at the vlogger saying no more alcohol but drinking wine … I think she meant hard liquor. I do not like paper straws and the one you had was trash for sure. lol at that advertisement.

    1. Thanks, glad you like these – the random stuff can be a bit hit & miss lol✨
      Coasters – Mr Perfect
      Hmmm, I worry for that vlogger lol, you’re probably right, I hope she’s ok 😜 maybe a detox might have been a better option 😂

  2. I’ve had people say that to me before about wine not being alcoholic! I think what they mean is that it’s not as strong as the cocktails that seem to be obligatory today, hard spirt based. Seems its a generational thing again. I went out with a niece recently and couldn’t wait to get home, what with trying to drink the whole menu of cocktails and then shots! I did make my excuses and left early.

  3. MichaelStephenWills – Ithaca, New York 14850 – My photographic style centers on the use of natural light to visualize emotion and evoke memory. The evolution of my style began early in the year 2002, with an imperative to capture personal and fleeting memories. My son and I traveled to New York City, to view the first Saint Patrick's Day parade after September 11, 2001. My work from that parade was so successful and satisfying (see "New York Fire Department, Saint Patrick's Day 2002") I just never stopped.

    I expect men buy the “Mr. Perfect” coasters for themselves.

  4. Loving the Beatle reception desk, but agree with you that it’s spoiled by the grubby window. Those ‘man cave’ etc signs made me positively shudder. Fortunately, I’ve never seen anyone display them in their homes, although I do know people who’ve been *lucky* enough to be gifted them. I wonder if they pull them out when the gifter visits? As for the woman who doesn’t understand that wine isn’t grape juice but does contain alcohol – what world is she living in? Is she American perchance – they do seem to have a decidedly relaxed attitude to drinking and driving over there…

    1. Lol, yes I bet a lot of people receive those signs as gifts, I’ve not been tempted to buy anyone one yet though. As for the ‘grape juice’ drinking vlogger – yes I think she was American, but I’ve never come across anyone talk about wine like this before – it’s quite worrying 🙃 🍷

  5. I so enjoyed your “idle chatter” adventure for the beginning of September! Great work!

  7. kagould17 – Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement. I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure. I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

    A great ramble Cheryl. Sometimes, it pays to think out loud. Have a great Sunday. Allan
