Now the lock jaw from untreated tetnus might be a blessing for some of us!.

So long as he's ok. I'm kind of fond of a lot of you and I notice when someone is MIA.

Speaking of new material, there was a new cadeau today that I couldn't bring myself to finish!
I watched at 2x speed. It is so much more entertaining that way. That laugh of hers is the best at double speed.

Its bloody hot here at the moment ... around 33c and it will get hotter in the late afternoon..... I was feeling a bit "pekey" but you gave me a great laugh imagining him up there with a sherry and not much hair !
@Pekey, I will send you some of our frigid Florida weather- it is odd to think that just a few weeks ago, the days were 30C, and a few days ago, a cold front came through for holiday and I awoke to temps of 3C this morning! There was "smoke" coming from the pool and off of the harbour in the back yard this morning, as the water temps were warmer than that of the air. I had to actually wear pants, a jumper, and a coat when I left the house today- also, shoes that were not sandals! Last night was the first time in a year I've had to program the Nest to deploy the Heat function- Alexa thinks we don't need heat, so I had to attempt to manually change the temperature. Apparently, the Nest too is rebelling against the humans, as I awoke to the house at 17C vice the 21C I set it at. Winter in the US is crap.

I like how he tried hard to fit his hand with IV in the picture....
Seems like I missed out on a whole bunch of photo ops this past month!
There had to be a filter on that hospital picture…no bags under his eyes! The IV was probably for fluids…dehydration.

If I could swap out weather with you I would! We're due snow Friday & Saturday with overnight & daytime temperatures below freezing. Fingers crossed you get a bit of respite from the heatwave this week.
I think we could share the weather Ann G .... one day mine .... next yours!
I do feel the cold but not going under 25c at night is hard to sleep!

I used to find them annoying for some reason but I have changed and its because , like you said, they get things done and in a correct fashion!
I do enjoy their channel again .

What am I? Chopped liver!
I am Dr. Know.
You know.
Oooooo....... always nice to get a second opinion!!! Don't throw rocks at me Dr. Know !

Oh T Rex...... send your cold front and make sure it has rain as well ..... its dry as anything here too!
I wonder how Squirrel is feeling the heat in SA?
Have they gone on Safari yet???

Well I guess it's time for our fan fiction contingent to start putting finger to keyboard and write MPK's script for him as to why he's laid up in a hospital with a UV drip.
We all know what’s on the other end of MPK’s IV, right?

Looks like he's cut it or crushed it. Can't hurt too much as he is gesturing with that hand.

That is sweet of you Le Baiseur .... people here are wonderful and very kind to each other.

Oh..... I fast forwarded that Gift Grab...... honestly its so boring and shocking!!! The woman needs to stop it for many reasons!!!
Yes they need to stop because they are really boring! Of course because they are morally wrong too!
In the early days I liked them because I always find it hard to pick out gifts, and they gave me some ideas. But now it's just the boring letter and gifts, or the over the top ones that Fanny has probably bought herself.

PS thunder here summer might be on the wane

Gosh I would hate to try to transport it back to the Chateau ..... excess $$$ baggage??? Lot of weight there.
If they have gone business class they will have plenty of luggage allowance. Last time I did I was allowed 2 x 32kg bags plus 8kg carry on, plus large purse and laptop bag. I actually did bring some plates home (just ikea ones) as we don't have ikea in NZ. I wanted 10 plates so my husband got 20 in case some broke, but they all made it home! I know that seems silly but at the time I was having problems with my hands dropping heavy plates. Light plates here were $5 a piece, at ikea they were 99cents.

Good Point!
We have a few places in Vancouver… I’ve been to this one a couple of times. It’s a magical hangover cure after a night of partying

I wonder if he had a seizure from drinking too much, or maybe from trying to detox on his own .... alcohol is the post dangerous thing to detox from. This might explain the need for checking out his brain.

Also they don't mind showing when they muck up, like we all do sometimes.

I know I am an incorrigible softy...and I am heading to hospital next week myself, so I am fully prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt, and wish him well! (I won't be posting a selfie, though! But I might get my hair done anyway! )

Now the lock jaw from untreated tetnus might be a blessing for some of us!.

Now, now, Mr. @Arfarf ! Be careful, be very careful! Do not use my name Alice in vain! I have friends in high places! (CCed to @MojoDublin fyi!)
