Though I have no idea how many steps I have, as my step counter is acting up (won't open). I'll just keep carrying it with me, and hopefully it will decide to work (open) later today. I took a walk initially to...

41Combedale To relieve stress I have used music often. Not for pain though. I have found that it also helps to sing, maybe more of an effort thanpressing a button for music, but once started even just humming works well for stress relief.

Sadly, I didn't have funds for a laundry cleaning so I washed the clothes myself. But I wasn't alone, instead surrounded by my dogs. It's just sad that I don't walk them anymore, I have trouble waking up early. There's no...

41Combedale I used to wash clothes by hand many years ago, before we had washing machines. The clothes were rubbed up and down something with ridges lthat were rubbed against the clothes and removed the dirt etc. Perhaps it was called a washing board. I can't remember....

The photo shows the magnificent trifle that my sister-in-law made for our Christmas dinner. It was delicious. The glass bowl showed off the various layers nicely but there was way, way too much for four of us. The Swiss roll...

I read a nice feel-good story on our local news feed. Newman Police Station is located 1,170 kilometres north-east of Perth. In 2020, they adopted a tabby kitten which is now considered one of the team. He is now known as PC...

41Combedale I have noticed that if people meet up with a blind person they will often speak to the dog. Maybe the dogs that are trained to help people have a nature that responds to people more readily than their handlers do. Perhaps also it is natural to want to say...

When I woke up this morning, I felt a tad chilly around the edges, in spite of my flannel sheet and toasty comforter. My first thoughts was, I wonder if it made into the 30s last night. It only freezes (32) here now and again,...

41Combedale Sorry to hear that, I hope you got something from the doctor. Yours was a nice hot Christmas, ours here in Greece was wet and gloomy. The Christmas tree did its best and we attended two Carol services and watched another on UTube. So in the end it felt like...

41Combedale He is a beautiful cat so I guess he gets away with every thing anyway! A piece of silver foil rolled into a ball will soon get him off the table and keep him away from the wrapping paper.

41Combedale Changing things around the house is such a good idea, it is better than moving and you get a sense of fresh beginnings which I am sure we all need from time to time. You have lots of caring friends a good husband and prepared meals. Much to praise God for!
