Now then Clint some tasty snippets of a very highly related UK TV comedy show, from the recent past to help your mood at poopy pants antics. I don't know if you ever saw any on šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø PBS of (Dame) Patricia Rutledge as Hyacinth Bucket in Keeping Up Appearance. Her character portrays her as upper middle class trying to rise above a lower class family background. Her surname is translated into Hyacinth Bouquet, not Bucket. She strives to be better than everyone else (and dare I say it, a Karen) and of course she always comes unstuck. Her unseen son Sheridan and his flat mate Tarquin feature in a lot of phone conversations, without Hyacinth realising they are more than friends but it's never hinted at as 🌈 Hyacinth is noted for holding her Candle Light supper events. So, Clint I hope you enjoy the taster šŸ˜ŽšŸ˜ Cheers DougT šŸ‡«šŸ‡“ šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§

I'm less terrified and more 'Combat Stress Reaction' (less acute version of shell-shocked). I hardly follow the news anymore because it seems everybody's frantically trying to complete all the items on Dilbert's list 'You are Wrong Because...' It's too surreal for me to handle. My only media consumption are half hour gay 'Harlequin Romance'-type short stories and half hour sci-fi. Both are on YT and are wonderful, mindless escapes from reality and safe sleeping pills as well:-)
