Fiacre Banks @looeyville Ours are high too. Our central heating is oil-fired, and on February 9th I bought 500 litres for £300. Today the same amount costs £640.

Welsh singer Mary Hopkins was best known for her song “Those Were the Days”. She also sang many other memorable songs. The singer was a good friend of former Beatle Paul McCartney and he wrote this song. It is a sad and poignant...

It's 2:30 pm on Monday, April 6th and it's been a good day. Hubby and I worked out for an hour at the gym. We ate lunch at Logan's Roadhouse. We sat outside in the sunshine and fresh air for 2 hours. Now we're back inside and...

Yes, I'm guilty of checking my phone constantly. Checking for texts, emails, weather, time, etc. I can't even count how many times a day I check my phone. It's always near me wherever I go. How often do you check your phone?

Fiacre Banks @Ineeddentures Oh I think he thinks he might be a little higher than that. I bet he’ll announce that he deserves beatification and will set the FBI on the pope when he refuses.

Fiacre Banks @Ineeddentures Like all his predecessors Trump latches onto anything that he thinks will bolster his position and give him credibility. Sad. He obviously doesn’t know that Christianity isn’t about him. I don’t think he’s got a clue about what’s in the bible,...

I’m not crazy about desserts, certainly not in restaurants, but it’s grey to have a light palate cleanser to follow on with after a heavy, meaty meal. So while I roasted the lamb for yesterday’s dinner my wife produced the...
