Grrrr.

Weather forecasters who state it will be wet and windy on Bank Holiday Sunday, so we change our day out plans and find not one drop falls.

Woke up today to rain.

Looked out the front window this morning and saw three healthy young rabbits cavorting on the lawn. Dog asleep in the garage 20 feet away. Grrrrr....

Why is it that the frost gets the tattie tops I've planted but the ones that have sprouted up from last years tatties are looking green and lush!

Could be a lesson to be learnt there Snadge.

Absolutley sick of this prolonged drougt with drying winds. Hardly any rain here is Cheshire all year. Have to water pots a vew times every day as they dry up very fast. Nothing is normal anymore.

People who have a Ipad that they don't understand, press all the buttons and change things, passwords and don't know what they have done!!!!!!!!!

Phone and broadband provider saying that the bill is going up because they want to carry on being as good (some chance) as they are........................its going up to give new customers huge benefits at existing customers expense.

Rain. As in No Ruddy Rain. I fundamentally object to watering a Cumbrian plot...

Smart Phone videos - what's with the people making them? Don't they know they can turn the camera round so that the video isn't just that thin strip in between two black bars on the screen? How do they watch TV - with cardboard taped to the edges of the screen?

TURN THE CAMERA ROUND! TVs and computer screens are landscape. Your phone can do landscape too.

The ground is so dry, I've had to resort to rain dancing...................




The kids need a bit more practice...............

Aaaaaaargh! My son's wages get paid into one of my bank accounts and I arrange payment of his rent and council tax from it. I recently had to ask for a new card as the one I was using was old and damaged. I now can't get into the account online and when phoning the bank I was asked questions that I couldn't answer without having a bank statement in front of me. As I do paperless banking I am stuck in a catch 22 position.

I now have to make a 40 mile round trip with photo ID at a branch to get the internet access reinstated. This means my son is in a position of maybe losing his home, being fined for not paying his council tax and putting my daughter in a difficult position as she stood guarantor.

Rabbits nibbling at apple tree bark on my newly planted cordons. OH is going to make tree guards tomorrow. Knew it was bad news when I saw them

viruses - especially ones that involve lots of pain, gunge and fat eyes.

Edit: oh and pointless visits to doctors, guess I will be going back for them to deal with it like they could have done when I first went.

If it's a virus then there's probably nothing your doctor can do - my rant is at a colleague who made a formal complaint about his doctor not prescribing antibiotics for his virus which would have contributed to the very real problem of resistant bacteria.
