Good morning peevers.

It's a public holiday here today but I'll be off to work soon.

Mrs J has flown out to Paris to be with Miss J who is having a hard time of it lately.

You know what?

I'm peeved out, so why don't you tell me what has peeved you in the last week.

This week's peeve is your peeve.

Nice pictures
My peeve....
Last week I drove over 4 hours to an ice cream factory that their web site said they had factory tours to see how they made ice cream and packaged it and so forth. It said to allow about an hour for the tour.
Found out when we got there that they no longer do the tours, that they were discontinued 3 years ago. I politely (sic) told them to change that information on their web page. Grrr...

That's a good peeve! There is no way to date info on most web sites. It's a real crap shoot out there. Great photos and scenery as always Jezer. My peeves are the usual, the wife , the daughter .....the heat.

My peeve - things closing down for the summer. Ordinarily it doesn't bother me, I've never really need to get anything bureaucratic done in the summer usually but last week I needed to pick up my mum's new passport from the police station. I get there and find out its shut for the summer and they only have a small office open in the City House which means making an appointment weeks in advance. Good thing my mum doesn't need the passport urgently!

Mine is people that are late and don't call. Had a phone call and 2 emails to the photographer that was here when family was visiting, she took some great pics. I finally called her Saturday and yes she got my message and the pics are almost done We got the proofs in 1 day, then no response to my order, fb message or Dad's phone call....irksome at best

I don't get peeved very often, but last week was a doozy with a custody battle my son and his wife are going thru trying to gain custody of their grandkids.

Love those photos, Jezer. No wonder you don't mind going to work!


Lately, I've been peeved at myself for not being able to decide how to modify my will. Not a simple thing but, good grief, Hippo-just do it!

My current peeve: websites with poor navigation. Click on a link on the main page and you go to a page with no navigation, or no clear way back to the main page. Or worse, dead links or outdated information (like seasonal items from last year).

Getting "peeved" is such a waste of time and energy, in my opinion.

"A tad bit irritated" on occasion, better describes me. And, I attempt to overcome that flaw if I feel it coming on. Life's too short. Go with the flow.
