Hello, how are we all? I've taken on way too much, which is partly why I've not been here for a while. We recently celebrated my husband's birthday with some fun things that included food, 80s music, and steam trains. We've...

pumpkinjam Thank you. I love lots of music. I'm looking forward to seeing a rock show at the weekend. I think it will be mainly 70s, 80s, early 90s) (Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Aerosmith)

When you think back, not to the movies you’ve seen, but to the ones you actually enjoyed, do you prefer movies that are fiction or based on a true story? There is a movie coming out soon with Woody Harrelson and Samu Liu that is...

pumpkinjam @AmbiePam yes, that's the one. I think it's Christina Ricci that plays the best friend. We're waiting for the next Wolf Creek film. When the first was made, they didn't know who the killer was. Now they do.

Hello, how has your weekend been? I'm quite tired. I should be getting on with some writing but I only got out of bed about an hour ago (it's almost midday here). I was out yesterday. My sister wanted a girl day with me and her...

In what ways does rain effect your mood. After reading some old peanuts comic strips which used rain as a topic, it made me wonder just what mood would pertain to me. Maybe you feel the same about rain as I do. Or you might be...

pumpkinjam @dgobucks226 You'd think there would be plenty of opportunities to do that. Unfortunately, I'm very lazy Well, not always. I still have a lot of time when I have to go out in the rain. If I'm home, I'll often fall asleep during a heavy storm!

Do you call these fries or chips in your country? Do you like them as is or do you like a side with them? I used to do sauce as a side, but now I'm beginning to like gravy. Never figured out what the gravy contains, but it sure...

pumpkinjam @pitstop salt and vinegar is pretty much standard here in the UK. There's even a chip shop/restaurant called Salt and Vinegar.

Sometimes I envy office works, because most people who work at offices doesn't need to bring their Job at home, but when you're a teacher, you bring your work at home, and it can be a little overwhelming. Just like now. I'm at...

pumpkinjam @Namaco21 I wouldn't say tons but, as a private tutor, I always had quite a lot. Then as a nursery practitioner, I'd often have projects and plans.

Hi, everyone! How is it going? The first week of 2025 went smoothly. On the first day, we went to a church to pray for gratitude as a family. We wanted to eat some Italian cuisine, but I was starving to death, so we decided to...

pumpkinjam @id_peace I'm just guessing how long it took! I didn't do it all in one go. I should time my next project. Some don't take long at all, others take a long time but don't feel like it... I know I've thought I was only doing something for a few minutes and it...

It's nice to be popular. I've had several people ask me to do things this month, which is nice. What's less nice is that I almost always end up doing all of the planning. I don't mind planning things, I'm quite good at it, but it...

pumpkinjam I'm sure it will be enjoyable. Ironically, I know people think (or used to think) that I'm a boring person/won't enjoy fun things and that I have no organisational skills!

pumpkinjam It makes sense that the person who makes the suggestion does the organising. It's frustrating when others say they want to do 'something' but can't come up with an actual plan, and the ideas and organisation falls to the same person regardless whose suggestion...

pumpkinjam I won't book anything that requires payment unless I know people will turn up (or if it's something where the cost is the same regardless the number of people). It is, of course, problematic if people don't commit. I understand that some people genuinely may...
