Today, I think I've cleaned out almost everything from my savings account. I owe myself some that I'd had to take out for other things. Christmas 2018, my husband gave me a money box. He instructed me that I must save at least £2...

pumpkinjam @DianneN I almost did a hot air balloon ride. My mum @nannacroc won it and, as she doesn't like heights (or fun or doing things), my dad and I went. Unfortunately, weather put paid to that. Dad and I had a nice time doing other things, though, and Mum sold the...

Today was supposed to be the day! After months of planning, today was going to be my first skydive. I was pretty nervous all morning, but felt comfortable knowing my life was in good hands with my tandem instructor, who happens to...

pumpkinjam My mum @nannacroc once won a trip in a hot air balloon. My dad and I went (because Mother didn't want to) only to have it cancelled in the morning due to the weather. We didn't have a completed wasted trip, though, because we stayed in a lovely place and, as...

Seems I've been rather irritated lately - unfortunately. I was at my physician's office (nothing major), and I noticed sectioned off was an "ill" waiting area. I was thrilled. -- Now those who were sick with something catchy...

pumpkinjam I think we all have those days when we're annoyed by one thing, then everything else is magnified tenfold. OR days when we're just not feeling our best and get annoyed with the smallest thing. Or when a bunch of things which, individually, wouldn't bother us...

Just an Ordinary Owl? @owlwings (43910) • Cambridge, England 22 Sep 16

I recently read about some research into memory. Apparently. we store different kinds of memory in different places - smells in the olfactory centre, sounds in the auditory centre, visual memories in another place and so on....

Just an Ordinary Owl? @nannacroc The smell of old books reminds me of so many things - my father's study and his office at the Cambridge University Press are amongst the earliest memories (and, in the first instance, would be mixed with the smell of turps and oil paints). Then, of...

I have a part time job at the racecourse, and one day one of my co-workers was guilty of an amusing gaffe. To get into the races you have to have a ticket, which can either be pre-purchased online or bought on the spot. My job is...

Jabo @nannacroc That's entirely possible. The same thing has happened to me - someone I've been with has said ''That's so-and-so'', but I wasn't sure that it was. Nice to see you again

I was looking through one of my old posts and got such a laugh from re-reading some of the responses and comments there, that I wondered if you would find this excerpt amusing. In this post (Balloon Bosomed Bimbos) I wrote a...

Norway is a beautiful country, and a wonderful way to see it is by cruising along the fjords. A couple of years ago my husband and I, together with our son and his wife, did just that. I've used several of the photos on my posts...

When I first joined Mylot I didn't really see what advantage there was in following anyone. In those days (a year ago), there wasn't the option of clicking on 'their discussions' in order to see the posts of those you were...

Jabo @nannacroc Thank you. I think I find most people I want to, whether I'm following them or not. Regarding the followers - there are so many that just click and run - you never see them again. However I have a nice bunch of people who follow me,...
