You would think I would know better, this is a sentence I repeat over and over. For instance newly married we stupidly believed if we work hard, save a few euro and life will run smoothly. Rubbish. The government simply creates new fiendish taxes and we are caught in a loop.
Life is what you make of it – true. But if you keep your life simple and try to help others, everyone thinks you are amazing until you have that one mili second of a slip up and you are the worlds worst ejit.
If it throws lemons – make lemonade. – Difficult but possible. Then the stupid government discovers you made lemonade and they tax it.
Smile and the whole world smiles with you. – No, they simply look at you and wonder why is that idiot is smiling? Is she laughing at me? Either way you, the smiler are in big trouble – Run.
All in all it leads to the same thing – I should know better. In fact I should do what Bob does, nothing and live in the moment. In other words dream!

Sounds like somebody needs a wee taste of the creature and a short holiday. In the meantime, always follow Bob’s lead.

Things do get a bit much, at times. Particularly when one sees the utterly selfish apparently perfectly happy, while those who think of others get kicked in the teeth.

Went back in your posts a bit to see why Bob was at the vet in your latest … Since there’s no worrying news about him I’m going to assume he was just checking in with them to show off his hat.

Hi Happy New Year to you and thank you for your kind enquiry about Sir Bob. He is good or as good as you can be when you are approaching the big 100 in dog years. His life is good, he sleeps a lot, walks a little, plays with us an odd time and takes his meds. The vet is delighted and a bit puzzled as she and her colleagues really believed if he saw May 2018, we would be doing well. So, thank you again for thinking of him. Best wishes, Maria
