Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 32 degrees F and dark here at the Jersey Shore. The high for today is 44. I guess that is an improvement. I went to bed early so I was up early. I will be feeling this...

A few months ago a friend – who had retired early and was enjoying sailing around Europe with his wife – suffered a bad bout of pneumonia while in Kalamata, Greece. He was treated in hospital there and recovered and blamed it on...

Judy Evans @Fleura Vin was very pleased when they started offering him a beer rather than tea/coffee. lol We didn't go so often once they closed the regional collection centres and expected you to travel to a few major cities.

DE @Fleura It took longer to tow the trailer home than it took me to just drive there. I was ready to unhitch it from the car and leave it behind well before we made it home.

The photo is a random one from my collection but was taken by Vince. There seems to be words to describe every little thing. One I came across yesterday was ‘tittle’. This is the name given to the dot on the letters ‘i’ and ‘j’....

Fiacre Banks @fleura So all those of us who are 40+ can try to sign up confident in the knowledge that we will be turned down and that way we can feel all magnanimous! Oh cynical me.

When I found out that this cute marsupial lives in the Perth part of Australia, I immediately thought of @JudyEv. It’s related to kangaroos and wallabies and called a Quokka. I was amazed that they survive without water and get...

Judy Evans @Fleura The photo is from Wikimedia Commons courtesy Simon_sees. I thought with the face it would give you an idea of the size. They weigh 2.5 to 5.0 kg and are 40 to 54 cm long with a shortish tail.
