As well as my regular work I sometimes work at events. Often these are things like concerts that I get to enjoy free – well actually I get paid to be there – but recently I’ve done a few ‘fine dining’ events. The first was at a...

Fleur None of the guests knew about the flies, they didn't make it into the dining room so they remained in blissful ignorance.

Not that my wife would not believe me, or even that I would necessarily lie to her, but when it comes to money, particularly in the area of spending, she knows just as well as most of you do here that I can be...

As a parent I have found myself doing things I never used to do, or even things I thought I would never do. For example the phrase ‘Just a minute’ was never part of my vocabulary; now it’s something I seem to utter several times...

This is one of our traditional snacks that can be eaten any time. I have had them for breakfast sometimes. We make a rice batter for pancakes and stuff them with coconut mixed with jaggery, raisins and cardamom powder. I...

Fleur They sound good. Cardamom is a unique flavour which we don't use enough here.

As most of you know, I have a tremendous problem trying to sleep. I get no more than 4 hours of sleep a day; and it's not unusual for me to be up 24-48 hours at a time. I'm always tired; and I know that lack of sleep can cause...

Fleur I don't have such a problem as you, thankfully, but I do tend to wake up early and I also get a 'second wind' later in the evening - so I often feel very sleepy in the afternoon and resolve to go to bed early - but then about 9pm I revive and think I will do a...

Apart from being in the same museum as the information below, the photo has nothing to do with the discussion. John Charles Peters was born in 1890 and taught in Muchea, Western Australia, for 21 years, before taking over the...

Fleur How sad that they got bad news after bringing relief to so many. There is such a lot that I don't know - I had no idea about the radio messages, for example.

My partner loves cherries, and was hankering after a cherry tree or two, although we don’t have the best space for them really – all the best, sunny spots are already taken. But then last autumn I came across a special offer of...

It is so good to be 27 for the 45th time. My natural hair color? Medium champagne blonde — why? Is that a crime? Old? Oh, hell no! I haven't even reached my prime. Elderly? Pshaw! That's at least a 20-year climb. Yes, Darling. I'd...

Fleur I think taking photos is the main purpose of my so-called 'phone'. It's so useful to be able to prove something or show someone something.

My poor husband broke the bottom part of one of his upper front teeth when he was a teenager. He was swimming and somehow hit it on the concrete pool. It was repaired and lasted until yesterday. I guess after nearly 50 years it...

Fleur @celticeagle The ladies have to keep up appearances, but they can't really afford to. So they do things like covering the carpet with newspaper so it won't fade in the sunlight (then they have to keep moving the newspaper around as the sun moves during the...

Fleur Measles was almost consigned to history, along with polio - and then the anti-vaxx movement started. Human stupidity has no limits.
