I am not a diabetic but I believe I must be careful. In my last test for blood sugar it was about 5 point below the threshold. Who knows any day I might cross the line. I am a regular tea drinker and occasionally I take coffee....

Xavier Bage Lovely story it has. I understand it needs a special audience. Somehow I feel our regular cine goers in India isare rather of different wavelength.

I have the notifications finished. It was so nice to see how it's going with you. For those of you affected by the huge storm, stay safe and inside. I need to think about getting chores done. I have the turkey in the brine...

We are close to some woods here and this winter the owners have instigated a big ‘management plan’, in other words they are chopping lots of the trees down, especially ash because of the fear of trees affected by ash dieback...

Xavier Bage In our area , kerosene run saws are common. But, somehow, I feel sad for the trees. Wish, those trees had voice to object or protest!

I wrote about a crash in our house and how Vince slept through it. He is now quite deaf once he takes his hearing aids out so he was unaware of the shelf collapsing until I woke him up. Something in the comments made me remember...

Women went from the full bell-shaped skirts, tight bodices and high necklines. The skirt was supported by many petticoats. In 1850 it was the cage crinoline, and later in about 1870 it was the bustle. Men wore dark tailored suits...

It was a day of that kind when your going out turns out to be fruitless. Sometimes, hororsopes predict such futile days. I wish to recount the futile trips because there's something positive about it. First, I went down to the...

Some time ago, we bought two hibiscus plants to place in the front garden. I’ve seen a couple of buds on it recently and today two very pretty blooms have opened out. They’re not the biggest I’ve ever seen but I’ll take them....

Xavier Bage We have a small hibiscus garden behind our house. We are interested in collecting hibiscus of different colours. We have to protect them as some girls use them as haircare ingredient. Some years ago, a woman used to steal them because red hibiscus flowers...

Good evening from Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. The current temperature is 31 F. It's been a good day. I'm thankful for the sleep I got last night. I easily had a nine hour night. It felt good. I'm thankful for the time I was here...

Xavier Bage Thankful that it's not as cold as yesterday. Hopefully it will be better still tomorrow. Due to the oppressive weather we have compelled to change our daily time table.

Birds and animals are quite commonly associated with superstition in the Indian society. A cat crossing your path is thought to be a bad omen. So are crows sitting on your house. A few days ago a cuckoo perched on our house. It...

Xavier Bage You may be right. However, it looked a little strange as there are many mango trees around my house. They offer better resting place to cuckoos or other birds.

Xavier Bage It looked strange to me because there are many mango trees around my house and I hear them singing on those trees every spring. Spring is coming which is their season. Perhaps she was looking looking for a place to lay her eggs. Just a guess.
