I've just flicked through a list of the top places to retire to in 2019. It was a silly list of course, scoring each country in several categories including health care, cost of living and climate. However what one person...

Fiacre Banks @judyev since the house I live in is tied to my job I must leave it when I retire in 4.5 years so since I have to shift anyway I might as well shift properly.

These are the onions I lifted from my garden this evening. It’s the first time I’ve grown onions and with results this good I don’t think it’ll be the last. I’m very proud of myself. It’s almost a shame to cook them. Now I must...

Fiacre Banks @judyev Thank you. I may not have much to be proud of, but at least I’ve got nice onions. Presently they are drying along with the garlic in the guest room (which is devoid of guests) and they are filling the upstairs with a wonderfully earthy aroma. I am the...

Fiacre Banks @MALUSE This is very true - fortunately I'm quite antisocial and prefer just watching rather than interacting now.

Just heard thunder. Yes, maybe we will get rain soon. We sure need it and I love the sound of rain. I remember playing in the rain growing up. Actually that kind of sounds like a fun thing to do now. Hmmm. To be continued. My...

Fiacre Banks @caroldm Thunder, lightening, heavy rain - excellent. My plan is to turn in now - we're a good few hours ahead of you. 'Night.

Last night the chickens weren’t quite ready to be shut in and I was short about 500 steps from my daily 10,000 so I wandered down into the creek bottom at the back of our yard. My husband has been keeping some of the growth a bay...

Fiacre Banks @sophiamorros The area under my bird feeder is aglow with bird poop. It might even be radioactive. I'd be afraid to grow vegetables there.

Fiacre Banks @sophiamorros I've no intention of becoming decrepit either. In the area of our city, an impoverished area where healthy living etc is not a priority, 50 is considered old and once people hit 50 they start to look and act old. Most of the 50 year olds look far...

Fiacre Banks @MALUSE It's a popular thing to do to retire to Spain - cheaper cost of living and lots of sun and fish and chips. If I were to retire to a foreign country I'd rather live like the natives (or try to) than import Ireland with me.

Oh dear, the cat is in trouble. He’s a big grey thing and as daft as a brush. When we drive through our gate he is generally sprawled on the ground, well-camouflaged and unwilling to shift. Today he pushed it too far and when my...

Fiacre Banks @maluse It is confined to a small cage so that it cannot move about too much so giving its pelvis the chance to heal. No internal organs were damaged, so it's just broken bones that need to mend. Doesn't seem to be in any pain thankfully.

I have a problem with catastrophe posts. Do the writers describe genuine cases or are they fate fakers (FF)? The FFs make up diseases and catastrophes. That's not difficult if they have a vivid imagination. If they haven't, a...

Fiacre Banks @judyev I strongly suspect that it’s my attitude that’s the problem. And over-population, insomnia and tight underwear.
