    Yep! If any of the grandkids misbehaved, the parents just left them at Grandma Brown's, and she would set them straight!😂

    Because I am making a reference to politics I am putting this in spoiler. I am not going into what the specifics of what the argument was about…I did not have the argument. It was between a friend and her daughter…

    Spoiler Warning

    Visited with friends I have known for forty years yesterday. One friend had gotten into a political argument with her daughter. She even cancelled a cruise with her daughter over it. My first response was about the grandkids. It was also her daughters husband first response. Between the other friend who was part of our trio and me, we reassured her they would patch this up. She should be able to reschedule the cruise. We also said it might be best to have politics off the table between them. I also reminded her about Mark Twain who said if he became angry and upset about something to give it three days before he responded. I try to remember that in my moments. Sometimes easier said than done. I did not say to her would you rather be right or be happy, but I thought it. Sometimes we do have to choose.

    Again that is one thing I appreciate about this site is it our understood agreement to leave politics out of our posts. The example of my friend is why we have that rule.

    At last I've done my roots! Hooray! Should be fine now for the cruise. I'll schedule a trim v soon, as I have a 10% off offer for my upcoming birthday.

    Had lots of tins of beans delivered today from Amazon. Weird, I know, but they were ridiculously cheap, and I'm going to be making a chilli soon.

    Last Joan Hickson Marple on tonight. Boo! She was 86 when she made it. It's been something I really look forward to all week. The Maigrets that I love are still staggering on, but Bruno Cremer is looking like he's about to expire any minute!

    Looking forward to Edie coming tomorrow afternoon.

    Cooked breaded turkey escalopes (butcher's) tonight with IKEA sauce. Purple sprouting broccoli. I've frozen the left over sauce. I will have to call in to IKEA to get some more packets. Huge escalopes! One would have done the two of us.

    Started reading a biography of Chopin by Alan Walker. Recommended by Rajiv Surendra, who I follow on YouTube. Really good so far. I can't say I'm a huge fan of his music, but it might encourage me to listen to more. I've read a biography of Georges Sand, his lover. Tuberculosis killed one in five in Europe at that time. Especially rife in Poland.
