Well the feathered kind, of course!
I was at my computer and Mitzi (our cat) sidled up to me for some fussing.  When I’d finished stroking her I saw something out of the corner of my eye.  Mitzi perked up, eyes wide, and I knew that something was in the room.  Then it flew past me!  [...]

My very own underwater light show

Ok, a few people seem interested in what exactly happened at the eye hospital.  It was suggested I write a post about it, so here goes.
Mo came with me again for moral support.  We arrived early, sat amongst hoards of people and waited for my ‘Ultrasound’ scan.  I was not in the least nervous about [...]

My peace was shattered by a loud explosion that was quickly followed by machine gun fire. I heard pins being flicked from hand grenades, and more explosions. Agonising screams and hurriedly shouted orders could be heard above the droning of tanks.

“Doesn’t feel like a handbag to [...]

Life is beginning to get back into some sort of order now, though it will never be the same again.   Sindie was such a huge part of our lives, and a huge personality. She will always be missed.
As the post title says, I’m climbing back into the saddle.  I will be getting back to blogging [...]

Every time I do Blog Blast for Peace I think of a song I used to listen to, back in the early seventies. I haven’t been able to find it on YouTube.  This year I managed to get hold of an mp3 of it.  It’s written and sung by Tom Paxton and says it all [...]
