Since I haven't heard from my husband in a week, I don't have any real news. Today we will bring him his replacement phone so he will be able to call me. For some reason he doesn't like using the room phone. We will see what...

Fiacre Banks @LindaOHio My wife’s aunt is now in a care home and we are not happy with it. Poor lady has dementia and no longer flushes the toilet but staff don’t bother checking and doing it for her. Most of her clothes have not come back from the laundry and they have...

Each time we go on a trip my wife packs our daughter’s clothes, given her limitations. Much preparation goes into the operation but there is always one inexplicable error made every time - no underwear for our daughter. When we...

Walking along Princes Street this afternoon I felt intimidated by the crowds of shivering shoppers bearing down on me, and it seemed that everyone was going in the opposite direction to me, that I was invisible and was going to be...

Fiacre Banks @jstory07 Yes, there were bagpipes and I’d rather listen to cats getting strangled. There are many traditions in the world and not all of them are good.

Fiacre Banks @judyev Comfortable looking lounge. And yes, that is a rather convenient system for getting the car back. A bit like our Amazon deliverers who don’t bother to knock but just plod on in and hand us our parcels.

Fiacre Banks @judyev I’m an inveterate student of such things, but I usually manage somehow to keep my observations to myself. When I worked in reception at the ER in a hospital in Belfast a distressed elderly man appeared with a large, swollen, ruddy, pick-marked nose on...

Another splendiferous repast this evening, courtesy of our Scottish daughter who booked it and paid for half of it as a Christmas gift. She also looked after her sister to let us enjoy some ‘us’ time, something we rarely get but...

I am sick, with headaches and stomach aches. Since I was swabbed this week we can pretty much say I am covid free. But I was up all night with the dry heaves. Another worker in the room caught it, too and was up all last...

Hubby and I decided to get a little bite of something this morning before we head out to his family across town to celebrate Christmas. Hubby didn't think he could make it until 2:00 or 3:00 to eat. We chose Waffle House. We...

I leave in 22 hours for my trip to Asia and beyond. I feel as though I've thought of everything to pack yet not overpacked. The only thing is I have zero room left in the suitcase for souvenirs, which generally I don't buy, but...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville Travel well, and I hope you don’t get callouses on your butt having to sit for so long between Montreal and Delhi. Say hello to Delhi for me - she’s sure to remember me.

Fiacre Banks @kareng As infrequently as possible. In my small town they only do one haircut for men and no matter what you ask them for you get that one haircut. I hate haircuts anyway. I’d rather go to the dentist.

Edinburgh is such a grim and gothic looking place to wander around, especially on a cold, winter night. Mist is swirling, and the restaurant we were meeting our daughter at was a league or two out of the centre. It was a Punjabi...
