Good Monday morning, friends, and welcome to our Jolly Monday! Why do the weekends keep getting shorter and shorter? I would swear it was just Friday and now … POOF … it’s already Monday! There are dark and mysterious forces at work here, I do believe!
Given the heat, humidity, and poor air quality, neither Joyful nor I felt up to cooking this morning, so we sent Jolly on a coffee-and-donut run, and we have a bit of fresh fruit to add a healthy touch, so help yourself and then lets find some things to start this week off with a smile, a chuckle, or maybe even a laugh or two!
Since there was no bacon on today’s buffet, we thought we’d share some bacon humour for our bacon lovers out there!
We have just a few animal memes this week …
We thought you might enjoy a few of the fun facts we’ve been collecting the past few months …
And now … ON TO THE ‘TOONS!!!
And now for the requisite cute/funny animal video! I have a confession to make … I snagged this one from over at Sally’s Smorgasbord Blog … thank you, Sally!!!
Well, my friends, that’s all we have for today, but we hope that something here made you smile … and what better way to start out the week than with a smile, right? And speaking of smiles … be sure to share plenty of them this week … I know my heart always feels a little bit lighter when somebody shares a smile with me! Keep safe, keep cool, and have a great week ahead! Love and hugs from Filosofa, Jolly ‘n Joyful!!!

Hilarious chuckles as always. But all that bacon made me hungry! Lol 🙂 ❤

I’m so glad you enjoyed the Monday humour and hope the smile stays with you throughout the week! Ah yes, the bacon will do that … and it will add a few inches to the hips if we’re not careful! Have a great week, Debby! ❤

Love the Garfield. He is such an intellectual catastic. It is so hot here too.

Happy Jolly Monday and even happier that it’s now done. 😆 I laughed at the cat in the dust pan because cats are so passive aggressive like that.

How did your long weekend go? I hope you had a great time! Glad you enjoyed the ‘toons and such … and yes, yes, yes!!! Our cats will choose a box or dustpan or even a paper bag over their nice fluffy beds!!!

Cats are good with a cardboard too or anywhere you don’t want them to explicitly sit on. Haha. The long weekend was great. Always a gift to spend time in nature with family.

Good selection Jill
The bear at the picnic has me sniggering.
Given the right weather I could do the ‘Whatever’ sign.

Thanks, Roger … I’m glad you enjoyed them! Yes, what a polite bear he was, eh? Oh yeah … there are times I could wear a “Whatever” t-shirt!!! Have a good week, my friend, and give Sheila a hug for me!

I enjoyed these, but I only eat bacon once a week. It can be addictive!
(Still having issues finding your posts, so apologies for missing some. The email notifications have stopped working as click-throughs, and sometimes they won’t load in The Reader. )

You’ve got me beat on the bacon thing! I eat it maybe once a month, if that. I like it, but having been brought up in a Jewish home, pork is just still a bit offputting to me.
I’m so sorry you’re still having trouble getting my posts, Pete! I think WordPress is punishing me for something … my afternoon post today didn’t even get on Reader! Here’s a link to it just in case you didn’t find it: https://jilldennison.com/2023/07/17/a-chilling-plan-in-the-works/

Jill, my arteries clogged after the large bacon dishes. As for the funnies, I do like the bigger mouse trap one. Keith

So true, my friend. Some Sundays I think I just don’t feel like humour, don’t wanna do a ‘Jolly Monday’, but once I get into it, think about how people will laugh and enjoy one thing and another, I find myself relaxing and just enjoying gathering the ‘toons, etc.

No, the weekend was mostly peaceful! This is just my usual Monday morning fare and has been since … oh, I think around 2015 when a friend told me that if I was going to be a political blogger, the very least I could do is start the week off on a happy note, and so I do! And thank you for that video … I always include one on Jolly Monday and had run out of ideas, ’til I saw your post! Have a great week ahead, my friend! ❤
