Just managed to get something off ebay that I've been wanting for years for a really good price - can't wait for it to arrive now

My hair is getting I to a right state so thought I'd look online for some clippers. Of course the ones that looked the easiest to use are not available anywhere so decided to just turn into an old tramp.
However now everytime I go Fecebook, Instagram and even on here I am bombarded with ads for hair clippers. If that isnt bad enough half of the ads are for dog clippers.
So now I'm being called a dog?

Have received two parcel deliveries today - as I've not ordered anything I'mm assuming that they are birthday gifts from friends so keeping them aside. Just so lovely that with all that's going on they've taken the time and trouble to care and send them

Still more common sense than Iain Duncan Smith.

Now here's a lovely clip, particularly apposite on V.E. Day. Vera Lynn introducing the legendary Patton Brothers doing their comedy and tap act. Entertainers through and through, I met them both when they were doing The Chuckle Brothers tours and they were lovely, chatted and joked for ages. They really don't have all round entertainers of this calibre anymore.

One of the things that has helped me mentally during the crisis and one I would recommend (in your own areas) has been joining my local neighbourhood forum online.Such a supportive group of people.It has really been a blessing to see so many acts of kindness and positivity in the local community such as the local Indian restaurant making meals for the hospital staff,people sharing their pics of VE Day street parties,people recommending shops and suppliers etc.
It has restored my faith in human beings in many ways tbh in the midst of all the bad news.

Here's my contribution to this thread as everyone on Twitter is doing my FLIPPIN' HEAD IN with all the negativity, and I'm starting to go MAD. Yesterday I fed some horses, got screamed at by a peacock, and got sunburnt on a country walk in my village. I also made a marbled chocolate cheesecake, and gave some to our neighbours next door (via a very tall garden fence) who wolfed it down. It was a great day  Also may I recommend, if you haven't seen it already, bingeing Jay Foreman's Unfinished London series? Very well produced, educational, and very funny (Monty Python-esque humour and vox pops). |

I love that series (and many of his others). I particularly like the poem about the logos of the London boroughs in the most recent video ("What's wrong with London's boroughs?"). |

Feeling emotional and loved - just had my 50th and the sheer number of wonderful friends who contacted me in so many different ways was overwhelming. It put everything in perspective in a way - all of this is for a length of time even if how long is currently unknown, many of those friends have been with me for over 30 years and will still be there once this has moved on and a vaccine has been found. I am blessed to have such amazing people in my world, with them I can achieve anything because all that really matters is our health and happiness

Lucky you - my local Covid support Facebook group has basically just degenerated into people slagging each other off for being in the park... |

Totally know that many on here will disagree but that's ok - Marti Pellow's daily lockdown sessions are keeping me smiling and happy. A song a day from someone upbeat and smiling is doing me the world of good!

I now have my rescheduled date for Lionel Richie - and it doesn't clash with the other rescheduled date for the same month next year!

Various reports that Italian theatres could be scheduling re-openings in June...some positivity at last perhaps?
