What Do You Hanker For?

Those balmy days of summer? A long lost love? Something you can’t get anymore?

Maybe, you don’t hanker for anything… but if you do… here’s the page for all your hankerings!! :slight_smile:

…a new sink and tap in the kitchen, I am sick of it dripping and yes it has been mended by a useless plumber.

A puppy, how I long for the scent of a puppy’s soft head…

Repairs to Chloe come first and that means raiding the new sink and puppy fund.
So I will just have to hanker for now…

Meg, :slight_smile: My kitchen tap is dripping too! The drip noise is so annoying!
I am not wasting the water though. I catch it in various jugs and pour it on my plants. I can’t waste precious water.

I would love a puppy too but l have now got used to going out.

I hanker for my past life when my parents were alive and my children were small and there was so much laughter

I long for things to be as they were pre covid. Will it ever happen I wonder?

As I go out & about I notice over 50% of people are still wearing masks - even outside!!

Carol, I imagine they are scared. Even l put one on in the shops, or enclosed spaces.
I am not sure if it’s because it’s a habit or l am still frightened of catching it?

I’m the same, Carol…I would love to feel as relaxed about going places as I once did!

Pixie, As said, in fairy tale stories… ‘Your day will come’!
Or, should that be, ‘One day, your Prince will come’?

Fingers crossed…

Art :slight_smile: I catch the drips too for the garden.
I will take a puppy over going out any day…

Awwww!!! Is that Chloe as a puppy? SO adorable! :smiley:

Pixie :slight_smile: that one is Millie …

Meg, Is that Chloe as a puppy, or a puppy you’ve seen and you like?

I think if l got a puppy, l might be paranoid that someone would steal it. Isn’t it awful that you feel like that these days.

I hanker ( funny word ) for quiet and to hear birdsong aand to see the stars from my garden none of which I have .

I live in an over lighted housing estate so even on the darkest of nights I only see a handful of stars . I have 24 hr traffic noise as a busy main road passes my front door and 500 yds as the crow flies is a busy relief road so the traffic noise is loud . There are few trees and few birds but occasionally I hear a blackbird .

Yes I hanker for starlit skies , quiet peace and birdsong .

Susan, how comfortable would you feel taking a break somewhere quiet, like you describe? It sounds lovely!

Oooh Susan, that sounds very romantic but very sad in another way.

Perhaps, l should have used… ‘yearn’ instead of hanker?

That’s nice Susan.

Art it’s Millie, Chloe was 3 months when I got her and bigger than that…
Chloe :slight_smile:

Schnauzers are lovely - my friends have two. One thing I have noticed about them (the dogs, I mean) they have a very intense stare!

I ‘hanker’ for the ‘chief’ …especially during the hay fever season. :smiley:

Mags, You on top form! You should write scripts and l don’t mean… prescriptions! :lol:

I yearn for the days of my youth purely because my Dad was still alive. I miss him so much every single day.
