Great minds think alike

Glen @glenniah (1197) • Mandurah, Australia 24 Nov 16

I very rarely go shopping for no reason, as for grocery shopping I just wait until we are desperate for food before I bother to go out for groceries. There just always seems to be something else more interesting I could be...

A spring walk

Glen @glenniah (1197) • Mandurah, Australia 21 Nov 16

Today Diesel Dog and I went off for our daily walk. Lately he is a lot slower and has arthritis. He tends to stop and sniff rather than try to chase everything in sight . Other that this he is doing well for a 14 year old dog...

The week that was

Glen @glenniah (1197) • Mandurah, Australia 9 Sep 16

It has been a funny old week really. Recently I lost the keys to my front door and also to gates at either side of the house. I changed the locks which cost a fortune. The day before the new locks were put on the gates we had...

Another Cruising Adventure

Glen @glenniah (1197) • Mandurah, Australia 16 Jul 16

It is evening here as I sit and listen to the rain on my tin roof and try to ignore my dog’s pleading eyes and wondering why we aren’t going out for our usual walk. I am reading up on some of the excursions I will soon be...

Yesterday my son ordered a Treadmill on a 3 month trial. It arrived while he was at work so the lovely man who delivered it set it all up for me and showed me how it worked. Then I practiced on it, walked for a short while but...
