16. “No one’s interested”
… is the theme of the video below, which turned out to be quite good … causing this lady to comment:
Do any of you remember the interminable “slide evenings”, parodied by many a comedian: And here’s one of Roger coming around the end of the house … and here’s one of Roger coming around the other end of the house ….
… just a minute … here’s one of Limmasol beach … I know it’s only the sand and sea because Roger distracted me … and here’s ………..”
As the man says in the vlog … different trips for different purposes. One to Thailand with my darling-heart, I’d been working a fair bit, wanted to sit by the pool and drink pina coladas … she had other ideas … safaris, wildlife parks, elephant rides … looking back, the things she made me do were the best memories … ho hum … plus our photos, mainly of her with this backdrop, her with that backdrop.
Retrospect? Yes, she did right. Contrast that with a gal in North Yorks I took to a nice moors eating hole … she knew “of” my travels, she was rather monied and had been “everywhere” … it was very Vivian Stanshall … conversation of the type “you talk, I wait, you pause, I pounce” … yes, she said quickly, “We “did” China last year …” … she was not going to be “defeated” by my tales, no way.
Never saw her again. Frankly, I prefer the blog … not FB, not X, not Gab … the blog. If you don’t like this post, skip down the page … if you’d like to tell your tale, I’m up for reading it but it might be tomorrow when I comment after cogitating.
Someone said cyber friendships weren’t “real friendships” … what guff! Depends how we do it. … I love when you chaps and chapesses unload … most of the time, you’re of few words. There’s a nice, easy give and take … at least imho … I for one like it, plus emails for longer exchanges.
And we can always escape, ha ha!
15. Talk about nose to spite the face
… plus bringing the EU to its knees … or to conflict:

16. The in-laws holiday snaps were a hoot esp when ma-in-law was in charge of the camera. A photo of a dry stone wall with a disembodied leg in the top corner and on the reverse the info necessary to identify it. “This was Dad somewhere near Ambleside”.
It took her a while to work out that you’re supposed to keep the camera still before you press the shutter and not move it down so as you can find where the button is.
There were also Church Socials the focus of which were the Old Folks holiday slides from Llandudno. They knew how to live! 😀

Answers this important question:
“What happens if the Electoral College isn’t sorted out by January 20? Well, President Biden is done. So he’s gone. The same with Harris. Next in the presidential line of succession is the Speaker of the House. Well, there’s no Speaker. So who becomes President?”
