“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.

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.

Remember the painting by blackmail post?
As some of you asked me to post a [...]

As I seem to have writers block at the moment I decided a re-post was in order.  I first posted this three years ago and had totally forgotten it, so it made interesting reading for me too.
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….. [...]

This post is in memory of our dear friend Pam, who lost her fight against cancer this morning.

She was a fun loving person, who shared much laughter with us over the ten years we knew her.
This was Pam playing the ghost of Christmas past in our comedy take on ‘The Christmas carol’.  She was a [...]

Do you remember me telling you that our next door neighbour demolished his garden?  Then we found out that it was because he was going to renovate his house.  Well it’s all finished and they are now living there again.  I must admit that he has done a wonderful job of doubling the size of [...]
