At 1.30 this morning I was suddenly wakened but by what I do not know: I suspect it was a dream rather than a loud bang and I haven’t been asleep since. It’s now 1.30 in the afternoon. I do dislike this kind of disruption and...

Pretty went online and bought a heavy duty plastic shower chair and a grab bar for our shower stall. I had to call her for help when I couldn't get back up off the tub floor a couple of weeks ago. It was embarrassing for both of...

Fiacre Banks @daddyevil Falling is not recommended in the shower or anywhere else. I don’t need and help yet but I’d be more confident if there was something to hold on to in the shower. Holding on to one’s dignity can be a bit tricky when you fall while in the shower.

Fiacre Banks @ladyduck A Rossini will do fine thanks. It’s just a pity that our sunny weather came to an end today because a Rossini would have been so refreshing in the sunshine.

Generally I don't believe in having TV's in the bedroom, but the mother-in-law had two TV's and couldn't fit one in the new apartment, so she gave it to us. Hubby connected it to a rabbit-ears antenna and put it on top of my...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville Goodness no! I recognise its usefulness if you are unwell and confined to bed but other than that no. If I had my own way we wouldn’t have one in the house at all. I don’t get my own way.

Fiacre Banks @looeyville Now you know why I love Europe so much. It’s so relaxing if you chose to be that way, with loads of stuff to get off your butt to do if you so chose. I choose the cafes. I can sit for a lot longer on the terrace of a French cafe than on a plane.

Fiacre Banks @looeyville That’s very painful. I had it on an eyelid once. When I went to the doctor she gasped, put her hand to her mouth and said “Oh my god that looks awful”. It was, but antibiotics cleared it up.

Fiacre Banks @judyev Isn’t it so satisfying! We usually leave ours up for a few days - seems so wrong to dismantle immediately but we got our last one finished just before our Scottish daughter arrived to stay so as soon as it was complete it had to be deconstructed to...

Fiacre Banks @sidikimpole I used to eat them as a child in Malawi. In the rainy season they emerged at night and seemed to be attracted to the moon. We just grabbed handfuls of them and stuffed them in our mouths.
