If aliens arrived tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d ask them?
I’d ask them why they are here. Can’t they see from above we have made a hash of it?
Why?

Happily owned and trained by the rescue dog I adore. Enjoying and grateful for a peaceful life at long last. In England. She/her.
I have several, lots really
What’s a personal mantra or philosophy you live by?
Count your blessings
Be Kind
The Truth Will Always Out
Karma will get you ( what goes around comes around)
Judge not, that ye not be judged
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Getting older can be a bit of a pain, on many levels. But what it teaches you is something else. Listen to the elders.
I wish for you
The genie grants you a wish. What is it?
World Peace is out of the question, clearly. Too much greed from the power-hungry scuppers that. I could say how do they sleep at night? But the answer would probably be ‘ with ease’.
Another wish that isn’t going to happen..that I get to spend a day with some of the people I have loved and lost. There is a lot I want to say. Questions to ask and words to listen to.
Another? Yep, the massive lottery win. I could do so much good with that. #WaterAid .
Maybe it is best for now that I wish whomever reading this has a happy day and remains safe.
If living was so simple
What are five simple exercises to do at home?
This isn’t going to be the most enthralling post you have read today. Forgive me, but I did want to show up.
I start the day by exercising my right to down as much coffee as I can – before His Lordship says, ” Enough already, we’re going out. Now!’
Then there is lots of lovely exercise out and about. Soaking up the natural world. We are so fortunate that where we live, there is an endless number of ways we can go straight out of the front door. He decides, l follow. Yep, he takes the lead, ironically.
Back home, he settles for a long nap whilst I race around ( exercise no 3) getting household jobs done. There’s only two of us under this roof, but crikey, there’s lots to be done. Patch is a cross Beagle/ Jack Russell. His fur is everywhere, despite frequent brushing.
So, where does exercise 4 come onto it? After my chores,whilst he sleeps, I’m chasing side hustles online. The minute he awakes, we’re back on it. Out the door and on our way. Don’t get me wrong, I love it, I love him, but there is ‘ no rest for the wicked ‘
And that leaves us with the fifth ‘simple’ exercise, WordPress is asking us to divulge to all today
I’ll put this down the mental and emotional exercise we all have to cope with on a daily basis. We all want to live in a peaceful world and enjoy existing on this planet in harmony… but a handful of megalomaniacs won’t allow it.
Karma’s gonna get ya!
Do you believe in karma?
Yes, I do.
It can be Instant Karma, or it can take a while, but it is present.
It has surely been around from the word dot, don’t you think?
How can it not be a thing?
Self care begins here..at WP
How do you make time for self-care?
Hey, you lovely peeps.
I’ve been struggling to find the time to be within the WordPress family of late, and I’m going to do my best to get back in the groove.
You guys are the best, and I’ve missed you and your antics, like you would not believe.
This is the best place for self-care, isn’t it? Our place, our little space in a tiny corner of the Word Press world of business.
This is where we come to hang out, to breathe, let off some steam, maybe.
I’m looking forward to touching base with you all again. This is where self-care thrives.
P.S please give me a little time to go back through my thread, see what’s going on with you guys, and reply to any loose ends. ‘ Housekeeping’ my lovely WP buddy June, calls it.
💚
Let the eye-rolls begin..
What’s the most annoying trope in books or movies?
Not sure this is the most annoying, but it is one of them, for sure..
The ‘when friends become lovers’ trope is the cinematic equivalent of a toddler hiding behind a sheer curtain and believing you can’t see them.
The moment two characters insist they’re just friends, I’m already rolling my eyes so hard it hurts. But still I watch.
Then comes the accidental finger‑touch, followed by that microscopic jealous flick: the eyebrow twitch that says, “Please stop interacting with other humans,” while the script pretends it’s subtle.
After that, we get the groundbreaking revelation that their long‑term friend is, shockingly, attractive. Stunning. Revolutionary. Humanity has never witnessed such innovation.
By the time the scheduled confession scene arrives, I’m not rooting for romance. I’m rooting for the credits. Even the credits know what’s coming; they’ve seen this trope more times than the actors.
Ironically, in real-life this a beautiful scenario. On screen taking ninety minutes of my life that I’ll never get back, not so much.
5? but…
What are your favorite 5 apps on your phone?
Jetpack, Shazam, Sky News, Weather & Radar, LBC.
I would have gone on for a while there, given half a chance. But DP @ WP asks for 5.
Be the light, the warmth
What’s the kindest thing someone has ever done for you?
Our beautiful planet is being brutally destroyed by vile greedy megalomaniacs- those egoists who have not an iota of passion in their ugly souls.
But individually, we can bring light and warmth into this cold darkness. Within us, we have the power to override it even for just a moment, with kindness.
A lovely friend has shown me tremendous kindness of late. She could show you how to make a difference, and I can confirm that when a light comes through the cracks, it warms your heart.
