A gaggle of s..ts and giggles for a Monday morning. Many of them related to those damn electronics we love to hate but we are glued to right now.
And to receive scam calls that we ignore because we don’t recognize the phone number.
For Doctor Spo and others – no we’re not laughing at you but with (ach)you.

And those of us who don’t garden depend on that.
If only ….
This is for one special person – you know who you are.

The landline, definitely. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had to call my 📱 just to locate it.
A skit?? Are you in a theatre troupe? Improv comedy? Burlesque?
So many good ones! Zucchini, forgotten passwords, powerpoint presentation, “the talk” and pale Canadians!
