You're a right narna."

narna/nana is slang for fool/crazy

Mainly used in the UK.

For example: I felt like a right nana, when I was the only one who turned up in fancy dress for the party.

So what is this all about?  Hubby loves to watch British football/soccer on the tv.  I am generally around, and although not actually paying attention, I must be half paying attention.

The other day it was on tv and I was on my laptop, when all of a sudden I thought the commentator of the game says: "He's a right narna."

My head pops up and I say to hubby; "Did he call him a right narna?"

Hubby says; "No his name is Onana."

There is a football player called Andre Onana, who plays for Manchester United, you can read about him here.

The only problem now though, is I can't unhear the word narna/banana.  He will always be a "right narna!!"  Poor guy, I'm sorry!!

Some nice things happening in this big bad world of ours.......

I read a lovely story of a 103 year old lady "running" the bases at a baseball game.  You can read more about it here.

Remember the other day I was complaining about driving on the highway?  Well I should have read about the Shetland Traffic News and Advice.........and I thought I had problems....LOL

Managed to watch part of the men's final at Wimbledon, Andy Murray deserved to win, though I was cheering Milos Raonic on as he is Canadian.

Sort of watched the final in the Euro Cup with Portugal winning.  Can't say I was fussed either way who won.  Dh kept falling asleep, so not the most exciting game, right?

These Tiny Houses are a big thing nowadays.  Not sure I could live in 100 + square feet, but I do like looking at them.  You can see some here.

Finally this:
