So...Just think, you are too young to stay at home!<br /><br />So many of us are past retirement age, that's why we have all this enforced leisure which we have to fill with writing pretty meaningless blogposts just to keep ourselves occupied.<br /><br />We are has-beens, no account layabouts, nobody wants us.!!!<br /><br />Now, does that make you feel better?<br /><br />Now then, get yourself off to work!Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-23836964619532109982010-06-30T17:23:30.241-04:002010-06-30T17:23:30.241-04:00Your agoraphobia 'claim' made me laugh!Your agoraphobia 'claim' made me laugh!Fran Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07935088780461825341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-49841908609693225972010-06-30T16:08:32.950-04:002010-06-30T16:08:32.950-04:00I even hate to leave home to buy groceries...Love ...I even hate to leave home to buy groceries...Love Home!<br /><br />♥...WandaWanda.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/00551160819558198338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-37874400602256096112010-06-30T15:59:22.931-04:002010-06-30T15:59:22.931-04:00I love your word "staycation" - you obvi...I love your word "staycation" - you obviously enjoyed it.

Loads of chats with neighbours, up to the shops for some fresh bread to go with lettuce from the garden. I could get used to this, whether I'd feel the same if it was wintertime...Monalisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06734693255704664139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-53649299143333902822010-06-30T12:26:54.068-04:002010-06-30T12:26:54.068-04:00Returning to work is always such a bummer after be...Returning to work is always such a bummer after being snuggled up in the security blanket called 'home'. 'Work' is a four-letter word. 'Home' is a four-letter hug.<br /><br />When I mow the lawn this afternoon I will think about you and smile.
