On the Sofa: Mini holiday & other news.
Рет қаралды 6,804
Ай бұрынWe've had a bank holiday weekend.......so I packed my bag and went on a mini holiday........then, back at home, it was time to get stuck into more jobs and an update for the next couple of weeks.
You can watch Richard and Paul's channel here: / @richardandpaul
Please be kind and respectful when you share comments and opinions.
Living a simple life......and finding joy in each day.
I didn't ever want to do this.....didn't ever think I'd need to but.........YT have reduced my income so massively I don't really see a way forward except with a bit of help! If you like the videos and can afford it please 'buy me a coffee' and help me keep things going.

Ohhhh good friends…keep life happy ❤ I recently had a 101 year old patient, in great physical and mental health. I asked them the secret of living to this age. They said. “Mind your own business and surround yourself with good friends “ I couldn’t agree more. Vivi you have good friends because you are a good friend.

A break from social media is always a good idea now and again. Sometimes the brain just needs a rest from it all. 😊 I don’t have a channel but I still take a break from it occasionally and I always feel better afterwards. Will look forward to when your videos resume, hope you manage to achieve everything you want to during your well deserved break. X

Interesting ! I notice the yellow line between the train and the platform ( I’m so observant ) must be a universal thing . We have that line also …what a lovely home Richard and Paul have , including their veg garden . I have enjoyed this . Thanks for sharing your outing . Best part was seeing you happily enjoying yourself. And relaxed ! Enjoy your break , look after yourself , meander a bit !! I’ll miss you ! See you when you’re back !! ❤️xx

My kids and I rode the Elizabeth line when we were in London a couple years ago. I can't remember where we went to, though. I wish we had more trains in the U.S., especially now that I'm getting older.

The Elizabeth line is sooo useful moving across London. I regulary get the coach from Nottingham to Marble Arch, walk to Bond St Elizabeth line to Hayes. faster and more direct than other routes. The lifts and good access features are great, unlike much of the underground. Travel off peak, it's cheaper too. Glad you had a refreshing break with supportive friends. Take care!

Vivi, I'm glad you managed to squeeze a few hours of a break with your dear friends. It really makes a difference. I too haven't been away at all for so long I shudder to think of it. I know exactly what you mean about needing to get away and think and deal with your 'to do' list. I am in the very same place right now. I'm forced into dealing with some of my 'projects' now in a much expedited fashion due to a water leaking issue. It's been hectic here because at the same time I've got major other things to deal with but all is well. I'm feeling good about what has been dealt with so far. I wish you well in dealing with your 'to do' list and hope when you get back you will have a 'load off' your mind.

No videos-can’t go on . . . just kidding. Looked like refreshing break with R&P. Good upcoming plan to decompress and catch-up on jobs. Last year, when I took a week off from work to do just that, my coworkers were puzzled over the fact that I was taking vacation days to stay at home and check off a task list. But when we have too many plates spinning and need to protect our mental health…that’s just the remedy. See you soon!
