“Tea’s ready!”
There was the usual rush to the table.  These were the days when the whole family sat around a table to eat every meal.  It was unheard of to eat a meal while sitting on a sofa.  Not even a tea time sandwich. It just wasn’t done.
We had a large wooden table. Large [...]

OK, these drops I have to use, that will make my eyes beautiful.  I must tell you what’s been happening – and I make no apology for repeating the subject matter of the previous post.

I will assume you have taken your glasses off at this point.  If not, then please do so.  This renders [...]

I expect most of you remember this post.

I have Closed Angle Glaucoma and I go for regular check ups at the hospital so they can keep an eye on my pressure. I went today.  Well it may not be today by the time I post this, but never mind.
I have been getting a bit of [...]

On Thursday we were going to be treated to a spectacular sight.  At least that’s what the experts said.  It was the annual Perseid meteor shower, which occurs each August.  They said it would be one of the most spectacular in recent years.
This was taken from Yahoo’s UK News web site:  Every August, the Earth [...]

Mo was sitting in the garden the other evening, and there was a big black cloud overhead.  I thought I’d sneak out and take a photo of her, as it looked so funny.
Just for your information, I don’t wear slippers as such.  This is what I wear.  slipper socks with non slip under the feet.  [...]

My nightmare
I was staying at a camp site with lots of strangers (as you do). I needed to go [...]

To be read with a British accent.
I can’t think of anything humorous to post about at the moment. Well nothing humorous has happened with us, so I’ve decided to tell you about something I have to do for somebody else, who hereinafter will be referred to as ‘The friend‘.
I was asked….. no I was cajoled….. [...]

I hope some of you know a thing or two about plants, because I’m going to ask you a gardening question.  No, don’t run away, I need your help.  Well, I don’t actually need your botanical help but I would like your comments anyway, so please continue reading.
Mo and I have been planting some …. [...]

We have been doing a bit of gardening, and as we’re old fogies, and it was rather warm, we had a few tea breaks.
These are some of the conversations that took place during our breaks.
Tea-break #1
Mo:  (whispers) “Did you hear me?”
Me:  “Yes”
Mo:  (still whispering) “What did I say?”
Me:  (Stupid question) “Did you hear me”
Mo:  [...]

You know, I had a sudden thought today, that us older women could never strike up a sexy pose, no matter how hard we tried.  I decided to test out my theory, and what better model for this test than Mo?
I asked her to put on the most sexy expressions that she could, telling her [...]
