Question? How do you handle when you meet someone like my wife. Her default reaction is just to go silent and stare. Years ago at work her boss went off on her for no reason and she did just that and when he finished she asked, "Are you finished" when he said yes she walked away. 1 hour later her boss apologized and steered clear of my wife for almost a year until she quit. OMG my wife had no clue what was so creepy/scary about her reaction. After numerous serial killer movies, Documentaries and her new crush Serial Killer Podcasts----- she understands that the other person got scared that she was going through a mental checklist for the perfect crime ?
Oh, I'll have to remember that... ?

Although I've been told my irrepressible (no filter) "you are SO full of ?" look is utterly devastating. Especially if directed at someone I used to respect.

Good afternoon/morning all.
It is a very wet day here - wish I could send it in the direction of all those US wildfires.
I'm busy doing nothing, Lola has decided to stay in his heated house and not attempted to go out today.
I think this week has gone really quickly considering I've not done a lot.
It's a bank holiday in the UK on Monday and I think the weather is settling down for that.
Our schools start back on Tuesday amid a lot of fear and trepidation about whether covid will affect the kids and teachers and how the classrooms will be best managed. Seems to me parents are worrying about that yet they've allowed their kids to hang around in big gangs without any social distancing so I think controlled spaces will be letter risky for them.
This will be the first Sept in my life when I don't have to go back to school! It will seem very strange, but I'm sure I'll get used to it!!
Hope you are all having a good Thursday.
No school for you? YIPPEE!!!

That's okay, you missed it anyway.
Try today's.
Today is Just Because Day.
I am going to refuse to speak to wifey.
Just because.
I hope you're offsetting the not speaking with writing love notes... I'm assuming wifey will miss your voice. Then again, she may not, if you're still speaking to Tidgy! :p

When I speak, she rarely listens.
Still that's only fair, as I just nod and grunt when she's waffling on.
Tidgy doesn't listen to anybody, so we fit together as a family very well. :)
