Isn’t English weird? The past of teach is taught, but the past of preach is preached, but not praught, as you might think it ought to be. And I just came across another linguistic oddity. The white powder descended from the sky...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville If I think I’ve said something incorrectly I feel so incomfartable. Once, in polite company, I passed a comment about an octopus’s testicles rather than his tentacles.

122 days until spring! My husband's 3rd cousin cancelled on me yesterday; so her mom picked up my groceries and prescriptions. The trash can wait until next week. My husband's 2nd cousin is coming over to work on my to-do list....

My husband is still not calling me in the evening. Maybe it's due to the sundowners. I like to see how he is and how he's doing in physical therapy. My medical alert pendant has arrived; and we (my husband's 2nd cousin) will be...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville I don’t envy you the long flying hours or the extreme pollution of Delhi’s air. Take a mask. I leave on December for Edinburgh then Manchester. Once I get back the planning for 2025 trips begins in earnest.

Today is the first time I’ve actually felt cold this winter, and the first I’ve worn a sweater outside. The temperature has dropped to 4 degrees, the sky is piercingly blue and the strong, cold shafts of light coming like arrows...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville Cold is to be preferred. When we were in Athens in Sept/Oct it was in the 90s and that didn’t do at all.

Today was a day when a touch of constipation would have been appreciated- my toilet is blocked and cannot be used. So my wife and daughter have taken themselves out for the day to spend my money in cafes and shops while I sort the...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville Alas poor Oswald I knew him well. Going from 5 facilities down to 1 has not been easy. I'm just glad that we didn't all waken this morning with diarrhoea.

You may have heard that when you sail on a cruise ship, the cabin steward will take a towel and fashion it into a cute animal and place it on your bed when he makes up your room. Well last week's cabin steward must have had a...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville if you came to your cabin a little bit tipsy you might stand for a while trying to figure that one out!

Fiacre Banks @looeyville I’m hoping for Bucharest in May. Last attempt failed - Paris got in the way.

Fiacre Banks @Looeyville Ah, there you are - missed you. Was a bit worried. Only realised recently that LouAvul is how the name of your fair city sounds if pronounced the way locals are said to pronounce it. Good to see you back.
