I got two hours of sleep last night, and, as you can imagine, nothing feels good this morning. It’s hard to catch me in a bad mood, but I might have been on my way except I had something small for breakfast, I took my medicine,...

I heard before Christmas that a neighbour was ill and an ambulance had been called. She had been taken to hospital. We went away and I wasn’t sure what was happening. I could tell no one was home but just thought she was still in...

Fleur @Traceyjayne Perhaps she didn't feel like dealing with the inevitable difficulties that recovering from a stroke would entail.

Does anybody go to movie theatres anymore? What with streaming and all, it seems like people can get anything they want in their own living rooms. But then there are those who prefer the sound-surround movie theatre...

Fleur The last time I went was last summer, when I went with a friend and we accidentally saw the wrong film! I posted about it here in June (am I allowed to link my own posts?) Watching a film in the cinema is definitely a different experience to watching at home...

Our electricity is set to go off shortly, because the network company have scheduled work trimming trees around the power lines in our area. So I’ll be lighting the fire to keep us going with hot drinks, and wrapping the fish tank...
