I'm not going shopping down town today because we are going to be going back to the big Tesco again this afternoon to get some of the stuff we couldn't get on Wednesday. Instead I'm staying home and watching telly. I'm going...

Fleur I'm trying to do a bit of work in the garden but I have to do it in short bursts otherwise it's too hot! And I took a man to a hospital appointment and back again.

Bitty did not come home until 10 pm last night. It had me worried. She is already pestering to go out and it is just now getting light. It makes me wonder if someone else is feeding her. Today at work will be a fairly normal...

For several years now we have had vacuum-cleaner problems. I used to have an older model, I think it was Electrolux, which I bought second hand and it worked just fine. But when we were doing some work on our last house, which...

Fleur For a hard floor I agree, simple is best. I also have a little manual carpet sweeper that I use just to pick up bits most days, to stop stuff spreading everywhere.

Fleur I know what you mean, but having had one I don't think they are all they're cracked up to be. And maybe Mr Dyson is hard of hearing. He has also invented the noisiest air hand dryers in the world. There are a lot at motorway services and honestly you can...

Fleur It's not that big, its smaller than the Vax and a similar sort of size to the Dyson but a nicer shape. And the hose is no worse than the others either. And it has a longer power cord (just used it yesterday to hoover my car and I didn't need an extension...

Fleur @Orson_Kart That would be really funny. Maybe they could make one that flutters its eyelashes when it needs emptying or something

This is a Teasmade, which belonged to my parents. Basically it’s a combined alarm clock, bedside light and kettle. You set it for your desired wake-up time, and at that time it boils the kettle, dispenses the water into the...

Fleur I'm sure you are right about the dust, where we live now we don't have much passing traffic, and plenty of grass and trees around to catch the dust before it gets in. We do get mud and pine needles though!

The last two nights, my son has been up and down the entire night. I go to sleep, he goes to sleep, and then...he's up. He putters around, tries to be quiet, but I am a light sleeper, and it wakes me up. So then, I'm up, too. Over...

The photo has nothing to do with the post but is of a Border collie dog that was at the recent endurance ride that we attended. Sometimes I can hit the ‘like’ button and it doesn’t take. Usually I just hit it again, and maybe...

Fleur @allknowing Yes, sometimes. Not as often as we used to because the girls object to spicy foods.

I boiled some water this evening as I was preparing dinner, but I realized I put too much water in the pot to heat up. So after the water was done boiling, I went to pour some of it out in the sink and ended up spilling a bunch of...

Fleur Too late now I know, but you have to keep running cold water over it until the pain stops. This can take a while. When you think about ancient and mediaeval warfare it turns your stomach. Think of all those people who were run through with a sword or had...

I just took it for the 3rd time since I got back here after work. It was like 158/118 twice at 2 hours apart but at least the heart palpitations had stopped. I just did it again and it is down to 118/94. I'll take it! Yes I...

Fleur It's fantastic that you managed to reduce your medication so much! Glad you feel much better now. A few days ago I was listening to a radio programme about the benefits of ground flax seeds in reducing blood pressure, maybe you could try adding some to your...

I wrote a while back about Vince needing open-heart surgery and the date was set for May 14. The last few days we’ve been pretty much isolating as there is still a lot of covid around. Then, just yesterday, he received a call...

Fleur Oh how frustrating! It's horrible hanging on like that, and not really able to make plans because you don't know whether you will be able to carry them out or not. At least Vince is reasonably OK?

Fleur It's funny how one gets attached to such things isn't it? I used to have a little silver dragon ring, I imagined it was a Welsh dragon (like on the Welsh flag - I'm Welsh) even though in fact I bought it off a stall in Camden market. I had it for years, I lost...
