The Pointless Page

Thanks Husky, someone has to keep the government's coffers topped up 😉

Beautiful morning here, another couple of loads of washing - where does it all come from??

My spring and autumnal cleans don't always involve curtain washing. These days we have central heating via has boiler and a gas fire. I can remember our Aga, absolutely loved it and the Parkray, neither one connected to central heating brrrr, but the work involved just keeping them going let alone housework generated! And I wasnt responsible for housework mum was 😉. The Aga has been gone 20 plus years and we are only just getting used to not gravitating to lean against it 😂😂😂. Pointless 

Sadly I won't have time to tackle more autumnal cleaning today as I have an optical appointment and a lunch date 😆

Nice morning here also, blue sky and a pointless sun Still refrained from turning the boiler to Winter setting that turns on the central heating, making do with the gas fire in the evenings.

Thanks Husky, if it's helping to contribute towards my pension

My pension is certainly NOT pointless! It's more than what I earn from work! As long as I keep living, I'll keep getting it! Nevertheless, I still need the extra money from work to add to it!

However, applying for mine 3 months ago does seem rather pointless. It is now due and having heard nothing I phoned the help line. 

Oh there is a backlog,  but you will get it eventually.☹️

They have only known  I would want one for 40 plus years😱 And definitely  four months ago, when I told them I wanted to take it from 65.

Just got back from my early morning swim. Grrrr........the normally well organised lane swimming was invaded this morning by a couple of numpties who just didn't know the etiquette involved, and quite frankly got on the nerves of everyone else quietly getting on with doing the right thing. Even the lifeguards were ignored, and polite, well meaning hints to "swim one way, don't swim across the flow" were ignored. So, trying to get some decent exercise in a controlled environment was ruined this morning........pointless!

Probably because people got fed up of your type of posting in the

what are you up to today thread. Same as you are now replying

to every post on here questioning why they are posting on this thread.

Perhaps they were not confident to swim out of their depth or to cover full lengths without a break? 

Left Barleywood bathed in bright sunshine, a cloud came over me as we ran into conveys of tractors and trailers carrying tons of chopped up maize which is primarily used for bio fuel. So what happened to growing food?  We seem to spend millions on importing food and then use prime agriculture land here to grow stuff that is eventually burned.  Pretty pointless really as is my rant. Got home, van put to bed for a couple of weeks, home by 1145hrs, first load of washing done and lawns cut.

Had a lovely "blow the cobwebs" away morning down on Hive Beach near Burton Bradstock (Bridport.) Coffee and cake in the beach cafe and a gentle stroll with our old terrier on the beach. A few people fishing, nice views across Lyme Bay and Portland Bill, a sparkling sea!
