Yes, Friends, it's time for you to resign your job, or lose "face". Everybody's doing it, according to the press! Plus, you KNOW you're rubbish at the job, anyway, so what's holding you up haha!!!!
And you'll feel so much better, after you "take the plunge", no question about that!
me and my wife Lois - a recent picture
We're laughing for a very good reason, because, by total coincidence, the latest copy of political magazine has just "plopped" through our letterbox, with what must surely be a prediction of the dire prospects for a prominent UK Prime Minister-in-Waiting.
Yes, step forward Mr Andy Burnham MP! But just for a minute or so haha!!!!
Perhaps, we're just in a sour mood, unusually for us, probably because of the continuing hot weather, which is annoying, to put it mildly - no pun intended!!!!!
Yours Truly today, trying to keep cool with my shiny-new 'mini-fan'
which I'm using a bit like my electric shaver. What madness!!!
If only we were in Denmark, is what Lois and I are saying today, where our daughter Alison and family - husband Edward and their 3 teenage kids - jetted off to from London's Heathrow airport on a nostalgic mini-break to the Copenhagen, the city where the family spent 7 years from 2012 to 2019. It's all right for some!!!!
Today, our dear granddaughter Rosalind will be celebrating her 18th birthday, which seems incredible, but not when we remember she was also born this day in 2008. You do the maths haha!
Copenhagen is loads cooler than Liphook - just look at "the numbers" !!!!

Awwww!!!!!
No such luck with the weather for Lois and me, here in Liphook, Hampshire, but we're doing our best, and Lois was up unusually early this morning, before 7:30am, determined to plant out her runner beans, who've been practically screaming to be taken out of the house and put into something wet, the little 'rascals' !!!!!
Awww!!!!
The thing about heatwaves seems to me to be that, basically, is that people talk about them, but nobody does anything about them, which is mad! So I guess we're just stuck with them (?). Lois and I only feel good if we've got a fan blowing in our faces, but there's no "silver bullet", is there, other than, in the morning, looking forward to getting back into bed in the afternoon, then, in the evening, looking forward to get back into bed again when it's bed-time.
What madness !!!!!
And the bad news is that there's still a couple of days to go before the temperatures are forecast to be coming down a bit, which is annoying!
What a crazy world we live in !!!!
20:00 Excitement mounts this evening, however, with some key developments in Schitt's Creek, the Canadian drama that Lois and I are currently 'bingeing' on, just until the World Cup finishes !!!!
The billionaire Rose family - parents Johnny and Moira and their kids David and Alexis - recently down on their luck, after most of their fortune disappears, are on the brink of selling their last town - the run-down Schitt's Creek - and escaping back to the good life, in bustling New York.
Now read on haha!!!!
On his way north, however, David runs out of petrol, but is lucky enough to fall in with a 17th-century Amish family, who take him in. And, as soon as his parents find out about his whereabouts, the family set off in their car to travel over there to pick him up.
In this scene, after the arrival of his parents and his sister Alexis at the remote 17th century Pennsylvanian Amish homestead, David waxes lyrical to them about Amish maiden Miriam's home-made butter:
Poor David!!!! He loves Miriam's butter, which he says is as good as the butter he tasted at the Ritz in Paris. But he does love his 'lie-ins' in the morning, that's for sure!!!!
Fabulous stuff isn't it !!!!!
[If you say so, Colin! - Ed]
Will this do?
[Oh just go to bed! - Ed]
22:00 We go to bed - zzzzzzzzz!!!!!!
