Trump is now saying that the FBI was going to kill him and his family when they raided Mar-a-lago back in August of 2022. Yet the truth is the FBI planned the raid of Mara-Loga when they knew he and his family would be away from...

We’re into June already. It won’t be long and we’ll be having the shortest day again. Of course, that’s only for the southern hemisphere.
The photo shows the drugs that Vince has been sent home with. Some of these will stop in a...

I'm not going shopping today because of the weather, and because we haven't really got anything that we need to get.
Yesterday, before I want to art class, I started on the above rose painting. I had drawn the rose out earlier...

I brought Vince home today. He had to wait for this and that doctor, then the physiotherapist and the pharmacist but eventually I was able to pick him up and bring him home. We had to go straight from the hospital to his own...

Fiacre Banks @judyev That’s great news. I’m sure he’s glad to be home. If you have to stay in hospital to recuperate you still get the impression that you’re sick. Getting home is a sure sign of progress. I hope he’s a good patient for nurse Judy. I came home once with a...

The photo has nothing to do with the post but shows the hail we had yesterday.
This post was prompted by @xFiacre who wrote about descending standards in restaurants.
I went to dinner at a friends' place last night. They live...

Nothing special to share today but our winter seems to have begun at last. We had a lot of rain overnight together with thunder and lightning. One huge clap of thunder made me jump. We’ve had more rain this morning and some hail....

My Mum is going to go to the little Tesco again today because of the rain. I'm still feeling a bit stiff anyway after yesterday!
Outside our house today we have a selection of gas men working on the road. Late last week someone...

Fiacre Banks @sharonelton We too have a squad of noisy, bangy workers in our street and we don’t like it. I’ve just put tonight’s dinner in the slow cooker and we’ll go out for a trundle up the coast in the car this afternoon. I’ve got a very sore back. It is very wet here...

I took a few things to the op shop/thrift store yesterday. I was looking for some knitting wool but couldn’t find any I liked. I was looking for baby wool or something similar but they only had really thick wool.
However, I did...

Well.........one Dalek!
Today we went to the Lichfield Greenhill Bower. We walked it there, and my Mum used her walker. We set out at just after 11:00am. We were just coming passed St Chad's Church when this old chap said...

Fiacre Banks @sharonelton Your poor mother. She must have been exhausted. I fell asleep upon a toilet in Manchester airport once. I was sitting there reading because there was no room in the lounge and when I woke up I was terribly discombobulated. Thankfully there were no...

Here's a photo I took the other day of the house I grew up in in Chicago. My bedroom looked out to the back yard, where I would watch sparrows, robins, and cardinals play. I put my desk at the window, as it is here, so I could...

I wrote about the jigsaw with the piece missing. I came back from dropping some things off at the op shop/thrift store and blow me down, just off to the side of the board that I do my jigsaws on was the missing piece.

We’re between seasons here in a way. It’s definitely getting cooler but not to the point where you need two or more layers.
I’ve taken to wearing a scarf with my round-necked tops. I have an assortment of scarves which you can...

Fiacre Banks @judyev You iron your scarves? I suppose with Vince still in the hospital you must be at a loose end!! I have A scarf. In church I noticed that the ladies were having an evening where the guest speaker was giving a talk on “50 ways to wear a scarf”. I did not...

I know this is hard to believe, but after having this pain for almost four weeks now, I fell Friday night.
After preparations for bed, I stood up, took two steps, and fainted. I fell on carpet and thank God I didn't hit my head,...

I’ve just come home from visiting Vince in hospital. He’s been moved to a private room which took them two hours. He is still hooked up to oxygen but has various tubes attached so they can check this and that as needs be. He is...
