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...

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...

If you have forgotten or haven’t heard this song in a long time, you’re probably thinking, “Who is Mandy?” Well, all the way back in the last century, on January 18, 1975, a singer named Barry Manilow scored a number one hit with...

A song just popped up my playlist and the opening lines left me weak at the knees and with a gut full of nostalgia. If @maluse were still around she’d comment “Oh you and your nostalgia!” I miss Maluse. The words from Mentissa...

Lunch was enjoyed at a Japanese restaurant today and it was a delight. Our daughter who lives in Scotland is visiting so it was good to take her somewhere agreeable. I had grilled salmon teppanyaki and it really was very good....

Twice this week the news has reported on the naked antics of aircraft crew - I await the inevitable third. The first was a pilot who was found drunk with no sign of his clothes, wandering around a hotel in Cape Verde, 36 hours...

For me this song could have been me and a cat named Sid but I just love this song. It just brings back memories of the year 1971 and was among the songs played that year and sung by a guy named Lobo. Now I know I would never call...

My 70 year old dad has been talking about retiring lately, commenting that age 72 sounds about right. He’s told my stepmom when he retires any trips are over. They never spend money they don’t have, and have no debt. My dad has...

Amber @xFiacre Yes! That’s when the church has to step in. Luckily, the preachers I know who started to lose it did so after they retired.

ultraman cosmos @xFiacre The definition of retiring is very loose actually. My definition of retirement is to quit doing jobs that I hate and do things that I really like and feel that I can make a very meaningful contribution to it.

I never really grew up, as some here have concluded. I still giggle when people break wind in public and I smirk if anyone refers to the French towns of Brest or Condom, or to the Italian town of Bra. So bite me - I’m Fiacre....

I noted this morning as I washed them, that my feet look quite innocent. Now I generally don’t like feet, particularly the feet of other people and can’t bear to touch anyone else’s feet, nor have anyone touch mine. No pedis for...
