Wait. What? She is so overweight that she needs THREE seats and she thinks that regular passengers should pay more to subsidize the extra seats for her large body? Um hell no. How about eating less and losing some weight so you...

This morning I woke up and looked at my watch and it was Ten to ten! I got up quick, but not too quick because I didn't want to send my head into a spin!
I had to put away all my art materials that were still on...

Fiacre Banks @sharonelton Lazy girl!!!I arose from slumber at 6.30 because we were expecting a delivery from IKEA - a new sofa bed for our small sitting room. It was to arrive sometime between 7 am and 7 pm - not very helpful, and a lot of furniture had to be rearranged...

I joined the local ‘toad patrol’ (helping to save migrating toads from getting squashed on the road when they migrate to their breeding ponds in spring) seven years ago, and for the past six years I have organised a yearly social...

What's going on the dinner table tonight? I want to know!
My stomach is better today but I don't have a huge appetite. I have some homemade veggie scrap stock to use up along with some white wine. That screams to me that I need...

It’s time to hop in the car and drive back 50 years to 1974! One thing I’ve noticed as we’re at the halfway point of the month: I’ve used a lot of these songs in other top ten lists. That shows you what a great year 1974 was for...

MyLotter @pumpkinjam mentioned that she always wanted to go on a hot air balloon ride, but it didn’t work out so far. I’ve been lucky enough to go a couple of times, but if it’s any consolation to those who have never had the...

Fiacre Banks @fleura My concern (among others) would be the lack of facilities.

I got up today intending to go to the little Tesco, and I told my Mum I was. But then I looked at my weather app and saw that it was supposed to be raining at the time I was supposed to be going to the little Tesco, so I changed...

The photo has nothing to do with the text.
Once again our plans have been changed and Vince will now go into hospital on Monday and have open-heart surgery the next day. It was to have been today but was put off for three weeks....

Fiacre Banks @judyev It’s amazing how quickly patients are up on their feet after cardiac tinkering. I’ve visited so many such people in hospital over the past thirty years who’ve had by-pass surgery and things have greatly improved over that time. All very routine for...

In last night's dream I dreamt that my Mum had given me some money to pay for taxis to go to art class. She was meant to give me 2 £10 notes. I went into my bedroom to count it, thinking she'd given me too much. I counted out 2...

Little One likes to sing, and sometimes when we’re on a car journey she’ll suggest that we sing a few songs, or even that we just listen to her singing. But then she’ll say ‘What shall I sing?’ and the big problem is that not one...

I am on my second cup of coffee and chilling to some Sunday sacred music. The program is called "A Joyful Noise" and it's on KDFC, the only remaining classical radio station in the San Francisco Bay Area. It's a public radio...

We went to the big Tesco again yesterday. This was because we couldn't get anything from the big Tesco on Wednesday because they had a power cut while we were in there and we couldn't pay because the tills were down. You may have...

Fiacre Banks @sharonelton We drove along the coast and had a picnic lunch on the rocks in the sunshine. Then we drove down the coast and had coffee and buns. Then I took my new teeth out to clean them and almost dropped them down the toilet. If that had happened would I...

The photo doesn’t relate to the discussion.

Fiacre Banks @judyev Australian gender abuse is making headlines here. As you point out, it’s an horrific crime, but not all bumps, bruises, cuts and other wounds happen this way. Here a lot of people worry about taking their kids to be seen if they injure themselves in...

The photo of a ringneck parrot having a bath is more interesting than a photo of one of our village houses, which is what this discussion is about.
We live in a lifestyle gated village. One of the people living in one of the...

I'm making homemade pizza. This one is not your typical pizza as it doesn't have red sauce. It is a pizza with proscuitto, balsamic onions, thyme, garlic, and mozzarella cheese....

When we visited my sister, I brought back four jigsaws. I’ve done the 1,000 piece one and put a photo of it on my discussion. Now I’ve done a second one which you can see in the photo. The box is on top of the jigsaw as the photo...
