I have been reading about how we are all lonely. Let down by our friends and misunderstood. A few posts about upping sticks and going somewhere we are unknown. Little or no support. No self-confidence, don’t understand how or why things work. Everyone is the same, however we lost our partners.
Wouldn’t it be nice to all move to an island somewhere. We could support each other. The shops would sell ready meals and junk food. Cars would be optional, they would be serviced automatically.
HMRC would be the worst swear word. Snotty teary faces would be the norm.
What else would we want in this perfect world, apart from the obvious, of course?

Oh, me too! Houses there would be self-repairing and the gardens self-weeding. And we’d ban being told that ‘you are coping so well.’

Somebody told me ‘God needed him more than you do’. I would like to ban that person for ever speaking to anyone else that has lost someone. And they can’t come and live on our island, either.
Our shops will have discounted wine and beer, for medicinal purposes. Xx

We could all walk around talking to ourselves or doing Kate Bush/Queen Victoria impersonations, or swearing like troopers. Nobody would think we were unhinged, because it would be perfectly normal, and there would always be someone to make you a cup of tea and hug you. We could even have a real roller coaster, if that helps. A library full of good books to escape, and a freezer full of phish food ice cream. What else do we need?

Brandy, Gin, Wine…
And paracetamol

Yes, we would need paracetamol after all that.

You wouldn’t need houses or cars that repair themselves,you wouldn’t need junk food,you wouldn’t need to pay rip off contractors in fact you wouldn’t need a lot of things because the mix of male and female with different skills means everything would be covered all the way from the practical through to the emotional support.

I’d sign up for a real rollercoaster! That’s a stroke of genius. Could scream and no one would notice!

Ok, im in, yes chocolate and wine, oh and salted caramel ice cream. Also the ability to mute people when you know they are going to say stuff like “you will learn to live with it” x

Hmmmm….
Looking at today’s posts, including my own. Should we ban pretty summer clothes, Christmas trees and holidays?
How about other things that might help us instead of making us cry.
Books
Rubbish tv programmes
Pets
A garden full of roses
So far we have got chocolate, ice cream, booze. Maybe we should chuck some broccoli in, just to look healthier?

Must we, I hate broccoli 
But then I don’t like any veggies much.
A bit of cauliflower or a few sprouts, or baked beans (do they count?)
