There’s a tousle-haired weirdo sitting at a small, round table on the pavement outside a café down by the harbour in a small village on the coast of Brittany. All the other customers have sought refuge inside the café, but this...

How it should look or sound, I do not know. How it should not look, I have a good idea. I was supposed to go live under a rock but I do not know how to do that. I do not care if you want freedom. I do want you to honor the...

I'm so mad at myself that I broke down crying. I went to a doctor's appointment yesterday. I haven't had to go there physically in 4+ years, so I was already nervous about remembering how to get there and it was a new doctor, so...

I've been shopping down town again today. I went to the toilet by the Cathedral first, but the usual toilets were closed. There are some other toilets opposite, but you have to go down some steps to get to them, and I can't do...

Fiacre Banks @sharonelton It’s important to say thank you when someone holds the door open for you. Some people don’t, and when that happens I say loudly after them “Don’t mention it”.

I like to wear green on the day and make a meal that is Irish. I will perhaps have a green beer or maybe some Guiness. Aldi has a St.P's Day shirt. I may buy it. What about you? Are you Irish on St.P's day? Will you do anything to...

Fiacre Banks @snowy22315 I am Irish and will not be celebrating. It’s just a lot of silly nonsense really and of course Patrick wasn’t even Irish.

I have seen several versions of this incident that occurred sometime last week. A woman went to use the restroom, and collapsed in the isle and died on the way back to her seat. They were unable to revive her. They tried to get...

Fiacre Banks @MarieCoyle I wonder why they didn’t just pop her back in her own seat. At least she wasn’t able to strike up a conversation with her new seat buddies. I’m sure they were pleased about that - have to look on the bright side.

I went to the big Tesco again this afternoon, and this week my Mum came with me too. I went and got a trolley, making sure it didn't have a wonkey wheel, and then I went and put the soft recycle in the recycle receptacle as usual....

Fiacre Banks @sharonelton Today I sat at the harbour and just watched everything. Lunch was mussels and properly chilled white wine on the harbour wall and mercifully no seagull did it’s business into my glass from on high.

I wrote about wooden clothes pegs/pins and how they needed to be boiled to make them last longer. They are often called ‘dolly pegs’ as they have a rounded ‘head’ and appear to have two legs. The pegs are often dressed up as...

When we were first married, just about everything we had was second-hand or hand-me-downs. Even my maternity dresses were given to me by a friend. I think I made myself maybe one or two new ones. We were given a cane pram like...

Fiacre Banks @JudyEv I just remember it as a big hot monster. My mother then had a boiler in which sheets towels etc were dealt with. After that we moved to Africa and we got a washer woman to deal with all that sort of thing!
