Yes… I admit, I have been at it again, doctoring lyrics of classic songs!
This time it was Imagine, by John Lennon that got my makeover!
Or, you might want to watch my animated version…
IMAGINE Imagine there’s no bog roll It’s easy if you try No real tissue to wipe with Gonna have to air dry Imagine all the people without a bidet Imagine no MacDonalds No Costa, KFC On no, what will you eat now? Gonna have to cook your own tea Imagine all the people raiding ASDA You may say I’m a dreamer Actually I’m not, it’s really on I hope, some day this Coronavirus Will feck off and just do one Imagine kids home schooling Parents trying to teach Controlling all their offspring Voices raising to a screech Imagine all the adults reaching for the gin Ooh oh ooh You may say I’m a dreamer Actually I’m not, it’s really on I hope, some day this Coronavirus Will feck off and just do one Ritu 2020

Apologies in advance, but the rhyming bug has taken a new step, in the form of rewriting song lyrics…
Indulge me if you will… (I’ve tested it out on my 12 year old Lil Princess, and it raised a smile, rather than an “Oh my god, now embarrassing!” stare, so I hope it’s good!
We All Live In Self Isolation - (Yellow Submarine Covid edition...) In the land where I was born Came a virus, COVID-19 And it took us all by storm Something none of us had ever seen We all live in self isolation Self isolation, self isolation We all live in self isolation Apart from the gits who keep on going out Whoever a knew a little virus Could cause such a mess I go shopping, I have my list But I always come back with less We all live in self isolation Self isolation, self isolation We all live in self isolation Apart from the gits who keep buying bog roll Now they’ve told us to stay in Keeping your distance from everyone But you can pop out for a walk A little bike ride or a run We all live in self isolation Self isolation, self isolation We all live in self isolation Apart from the gits who’re making their own rules The quicker we just all take heed To all the advice that is out there The sooner we can open schools And get your kids from out your hair We all live in self isolation Self isolation, self isolation We all live in self isolation Apart from the gits who thing they know it all Ritu 2020
I hope you enjoy my moments of silliness. If. I bring a smile to you, my work is done!
And warning… there’ll be more!

“A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year.” – Paul Sweeney
Thank you, Spidey for this.
Today marks our 17th wedding anniversary.
There have been ups and downs, sadnesses and joys, kids and pets, houses and cars, and lots and lots of family stuff!
He asked me what I wanted for my gift… I genuinely want nothing. I have all I want. Him, our kids, our kitty, our family.
I can say, hand on heart, that there is no one else in this world who I would want to have spent over half my life with so far (20+ years dating!)
I love that man that is my Hubby Dearest, more than I can express in words, and I count myself as a blessed one to have him in my life.
Happy Anniversary to my soulmate ❤
And a little of 18th November trivia, for you all too! There are a good few other special days celebrated on this same date…
And a good few more!
And traditional wedding anniversary gifts for the 17th milestone?
Wine and Spirits!
So… tell me, what would be your ideal anniversary gift? 😘
Have a peaceful Sunday Peeps ❤ And enjoy your week!

“Reading allows me to recharge my batteries.” – Rahul Dravid
Thank you, Spidey for this.
Last week we talked about reading chapter books to the Early Years.
I am proud to say I started. We did go for Winnie the Pooh.
And the vast majority of the children – loved it!
There were a few who lolled around on the carpet, but the rest enjoyed the story, and asked/answered questions. There was great thought going into imagining the images created by words.
I loved it. I wanted to read for longer!
That being said, I am now tired… tomorrow’s Chai and a Chat will tell you why.
I am off to recharge, and read.
Have a peaceful Sunday Peeps ❤ And enjoy your week!
