If you're sitting pretty
Then here's a little ditty
Just give a great big grin
And let the sunshine in

.....and all together now......:-D

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

Mau :-D :-D

Bless you darling......Always on the bright side...It's because I've such good fun friends like you......LES.

Poor you Les, it never rains but it pours (literally) eh?

Glad you got help to sort the problem and will now be dried out. Have a good weekend.

It was a lovely Friday evening here, o.h.'s sis and b.i.l. came and took us to a pub near the Broads so I didn't have to cook or wash up, or even drive, it was lovely to be able to have a couple of ciders with my steak and stilton pie and not worry about driving home. The sun shone and the boats were going up and down the river, it was so peaceful.

Now it's 6am ish and raining for the last hour here in Norwich, hope the Queen doesn't get wet at the Trooping of the Colour, maybe London will stay dry.

Strange to think if we had gone on holiday we would just be travelling home from the airport, how fast the past two weeks have gone.
