I know Leona Lewis may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I was listening to this track in iTunes and just had to post it. It’s one of my favourites at the moment. I love the music build up throughout the song. I can imagine myself playing in that band [...]

Going back in time. Part 2 – The Anniversary

Sidney and Jeanette settled nicely in to married life and it wasn’t long before they had additions to their family.  Their first born, a little girl called Leeta, and five years later a son was born.  Life wasn’t easy as it was the time of ‘The Great Depression’, following the ‘Wall Street Crash’ of 1929, [...]

Well I listened

Comment … You are such a fine storyteller.  Oh, please write a book!
Babs:  “No way! – Far too difficult.”
Comment … Yes, you should write a book. You’re an amazing storyteller.
Babs:  “It’s far to daunting.  I wouldn’t know where to start”

Going back in time – part 1

We were sitting in the waiting room. Mo had already had her mammogram and we were waiting for me to be called in.  There were two women sitting opposite.  Both held a slip of paper in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.  Both were squinting at the paper and tap, tap, tapping [...]

Last week, something happened and I said to Mo “I’ll blog this”.  A day or so later something else occurred and I said the same thing.  I had plenty of material just waiting for the moment.
When the time came to write the post, my mind went blank.  It’s still blank. It’s been blank for a [...]

The effects are spreading

I don’t usually post about things like this, but this is close to home, and made us very sad.  We are to lose our local  Yorkshire Television studios. They are closing it down as a direct result of the credit crunch, having lost a huge amount of advertising revenue.

They have produced some excellent programmes like, [...]

When I was in my mid twenties, I joined our company net-ball team.  I enjoyed playing as I was quite keen on sports.  Companies throughout London, and the surrounding areas, played against each other and made their way up (or down) the league tables.

I was so surprised that two people were only one away from the correct number of Maltesers in the jug, and that they were either side of the correct number!   Now, without any further ado…..

JenniJ From in the Bubble – who guessed 184
Kathy The Junk Drawer – who guessed 182
