I find exercise difficult. I just don't like it, though I enjoy yoga, I also find it hard to motivate myself to doing it. Every now and again I think to myself I wouldn't mind having a go and so I do. I like to walk but I'm no...

Tags is a 4-year old Japanese Spitz/ Dalmatian mixed dog who is very picky. Here, I took his picture as my husband was holding up his paws so that he could stand up. He is a very kind dog who never gets mad.

Since I often read topics about birds (and bird feeders) I came up with the idea to write something about a sparrow. But not about an ordinary sparrow but about a city hero.The sparrow is a symbol (mascot) of the city of...

Joanna Truscott People who come from Newcastle, 'geordies.' Such like celebrities as 'Ant and Dec' and my Granddad... who wasn't a celebrity, but was a pretty big deal in my life of course. Call Sparrows Spuggies. I wrote a poem about this once but I don't know what I did...

That statement was from a person that wants to be a psychologist... A lot of my friends do have issues with depression but I never have felt like I am "putting up with" their sh*t. It saddens me that this person would even say...

Joanna Truscott That's just the thing. We all have our problems, some problems seem more depressive then others. I've been depressed and from that experience I know that it is so good to talk. One of my friends who does suffer quite badly from mental health and is struggling...

A few weeks ago I saw the first hummingbird of 2020 at the deck feeder. I forgot to post about it until JJ reminded me earlier. Thankfully my photos have dates, so I can tell when this was taken, April 21, 2020. These tiny birds...

Joanna Truscott Thank you I do think she struggles. Yet she does not seem to be without friends either. I may not totally understand her but I am willing to try.

Joanna Truscott truth is I find her rude a lot of the time. I don't feel that she listens to me, I am an easy going person and tend to be friends with everyone. Its not that I don't like her as yes she can be fine and perfectly pleasant and we have become friends. But yes...

Joanna Truscott I think it's far too soon for people to be mingling in one place for meals, you can't wear a mask whilst you eat, and I don't like the idea of someone else preparing my food.

Joanna Truscott One could say that dentists are non essential too, unless you have a real problem with your teeth, that causes pain, I think you can stand without going to the dentist for a little while longer. Why do you think check ups are like every six months. Doctors...
