How really odd, MD! All I can say is watch your teeth, folks! There's bound to be a 3rd!
I know members are in varied locations & wondered what sort of weather you are all having?
After 3 grotty weeks with grey skies we have had a big change. The last week or so we have had much better...

Glad you all survived. We really enjoyed our first Christmas here. Had avoided making plans as I had surgery on 16th & didn't know how I'd feel afterwards. Ended up feeling OK so out on 18th, 20th,...
I have all the presents but no food as yet, so there will now be frantic comings and goings to the supermarket! Although we will be on our own for Christmas Day, on Boxing Day we will be entertaining...

I seem to be getting loads of huge adverts in between posts at the moment! Anyone else getting them or is it just me? I've logged out and back in again but it's made no difference. I'm used to the...
Hell, who cares for those old men at the Legion bar,
That talk so silly of past wars fought afar?
They all sound like heroes as they display a scar
And who doff their medals most look like a...
I've had my grandaughter for two days while her parents were at work. It was astonishing how it completely changed the last couple of days, and I've realised that I must be getting really stuck in my...

I watched a fascinating program on TV last evening. Apparently there are still many thousands of soldiers from the first world war whose remains have never been found. Each year the remains of...

I saw it too, very interesting and had a tears listening to some of the stories, such young men.
Well - you guys might have BREXIT but we now have WEXIT! Which given the Election results tonight of our Federal election (we have a Minority Gov't of Liberals) Western Canada now wants to LEAVE...

One of the Wests biggest issues is that their economy is based on oil and gas and the present Gov't are stopping it.

I belong to a group of us Oldies and Retired Persons and one of the activities is going out once per month to different local Pubs for supper. Went this past Thursday and sat with three ladies at one...

I have/had a girl friend and part of our retirement was to travel. We were in Luxor and I went off to see Queen Hatshepsut temples and came back to find her totally in love with the skinniest...
I have my views about the growth of four universities in this small city during the recent 50 or so years, and the influx of nearly 30,000 students. However there have been some plusses with new...

If my memory serves me right I'm sure you have told us about the Norman Westgate before.
That's true Kiya but I just included the picture because there is usually the union flag flying there. ;)
Now the the sunny lovely warm days of summer are over and done with :( what are you plans for getting through the Fall? For some reason I'm finding the rain and confinement in the house a bit...

I'm still managing to get outside most days, either for a bit of gardening or a walk so I hope the weather holds for a bit longer, preferably until January when we go to Luxor for 6 weeks!
Went out to pick some tomatoes for dinner & on the way back in saw what I thought was 1 on the ground then realised it was a strawberry! Perfectly ripe & absolutely delicious but in October! :o There...

Another 3+ kgs of cherry tomatoes today, & at least as many still left not quite ripe. Really must plant less next year, running out of room in the freezers!
Politics aside, is anyone else totally fed up with Brexit?
In my opinion it has become too much of a political subject when it fact it is not political. Whether people voted to Remain or to Leave the...

We don't get alot of press or news here re: Brexit but lately we've had tidbits and one of them was postulating another vote.
What galls me is that we do have a Democratic process and it was a valid...

Mad Dilys That is what I'm finding too. Apples now are living approximately 3 lifetimes in my fridge, oranges never die and I don't ever buy store bought strawberries as they're always under ripe and...
Forget all the disharmony of the political parties and the mess known as 'Brexit; today we saw one of those great British traditions, The State Opening of Parliament. Ignore what was in the Queens...

Music at home or work has never been important to me, simply because I was on the move until I went to bed.
I never owned a record player. But that didn't stop me from enjoying live music of all...
