Good Monday morning, my friends … {yawn}. Yes, you read that right … just 138 days, just over 1/3 of the year left until Christmas. And I have yet to buy the first Christmas gift, don’t even have a tree yet! HORRORS!!!! Seriously, though, the stores are already filled with Hallowe’en stuff, more than two months before Hallowe’en, which may well be largely ignored this year in light of the pandemic. Ah well, time marches on and doesn’t let such silly things as a pandemic stop it, yes? Did you all have a wonderful weekend? Mine was … meh. Daughter Chris picked up dinner on Saturday from our favourite Chinese place, so that was nice, but otherwise I have been battling the doldrums and a headache that seems resistant to ibuprofen, so nothing too exciting here. But, today is Monday, the start of a new week, and we should really start it with a smile, maybe even a chuckle or two, don’t you think? Joyful has made some yummy-looking treats, so let’s hop over to the table and grab a bite, then on to some cartoons, memes, funny signs, and more!
Now that you’ve got something to munch on, let’s see what ‘toons Jolly has in store for us today …
And some of these signs are sure to bring a smile to your face …
I found a few bits of historic trivia over at Phil’s Phun this weekend that I thought you might enjoy …
And lastly, of course we simply must have a cute animal video to make our smiles just a bit wider, yes? There is no way … NO WAY that you can watch this one and not smile! And notice how the different species are playing together, snuggling, loving each other without prejudice …
And that’s another Jolly Monday down, my friends. I hope you all have a great week … let’s keep our friends on the west coast in our hearts as some are losing their homes, their livelihoods, and even their lives to the wildfires that are raging there, as well as in Greece, Turkey, and other areas around the globe. And remember, my friends, share those beautiful smiles you’re wearing right now … so many people don’t have much to smile about these days. Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly & Joyful!

Sometimes I wonder if the stores have actually gotten so far ahead that the Halloween stuff they have out is actually for Halloween 2022.

Either that, or they’re trying to dump the junk they weren’t able to sell last year!

Jill, the words of the prophet are written on the Subway walls. Too funny. I don’t know if the used men sale will get many takers. Now if they added “handy” they might. Keith

I loved that Subway one, too! Yes indeed … if they added ‘handy’ and perhaps ‘can cook and will do laundry’ to the description … Have a good week, my friend!

Thanks Jill, I’m on a diet so I left the food this week. It should go around everyone now. Great humour and plenty of Aw with the Chimp. Have a fantastic week.

Mmmmm hmmmmmm. I hear you. Ummm … is that grease I see on your hand? Is that just from the smelling of the bacon? And … is that bacon crumbs I see in your beard, Lord David? 🕵️♀️

Thanks for the smiles, Jill. The first one set the scene and the smiles kept on coming. I hope your headache has gone away.

I’m so glad it brought smiles to start your week, Anne! Headache remains … we have had very poor air quality for a week or so now, which I believe is a contributing factor. Ah well … there are worse things in the world!

Yes, a lot worse, but still, it would be good if the headaches — and the reasons! — went away. Hugs
