My mind was abruptly called back to the recent past this morning when I read @sissy15 ‘s post about wondering about in graveyards - those who know me will recall that I used to live beside a graveyard. I shared with Sissy how...

One of my favorite things to do that is somewhat odd and makes people question my sanity and what I do for fun, is to go to cemeteries and look at headstones. I like to sometimes randomly look up names especially older ones and...

Fiacre Banks @sissy15 I used to live beside a graveyard on the edge of the city. A very quiet place surrounded by forest, fields and a river. Late at night, by the light of the moon, a young couple would sometimes sneak in through our garden and frolic naked among the...

So tonight's tea was just all the things that I brought home with me from my meals the last two days .... Fagg*t, chunky chips, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, Yorkshire pudding. It all went into the air fryer and took just 7...

Fiacre Banks @traceyjayne Standards slipped on this house tonight and I heated a lasagne from Sainsbury’s. It tasted so processed and now it’s repeating on me. Why do I never learn?

It’s a really long story but I ended up at two doctors today. I’ll talk more about them later. But Dr. Hubby found the best medicine for me. Oreos!!! And I found out that hubby wasn’t mad at me and we weren’t fighting . He had...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville Oh well, so long as it was just that he was in pain that’s fine! I’d be the same as him - I’d suffer without saying what’s going on and leave my wife wondering what she’s done wrong.

On a winter morning in around 1977, (a sweet orange morning) the train I was travelling in was somewhere near Vienna, gliding along like the gleaming streak of red metal it was, stretched out between two banks of snow, shiny in...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville I do like my flickers of wistful, melancholic maybes.

I have. I went to Milan, Italy with my 2 Filipina friends. It was only a 4 days visit and we had a blast exploring the city. Although our hotel with buffet breakfast was far from the city of Milan, we still enjoyed travelling with...

Fiacre Banks @thelme55 Italy’s always a good choice. I was in Pisa for a week at the start of September (roasting hot) and travelled by train to Lucca, Firenze and Viareggio. Good times. Good food.

Fiacre Banks @JudyEv Story of my life. But isn’t it so interesting how different life would have been if we’d gone to a different school, took a different job etc.

Fiacre Banks @wrexxo Not really, she just popped into my mind this morning. She obviously made quite an impression!

So what was the highlight of your weekend? I don’t know that I had one highlight. My allergies are causing me to feel itchy so I’m trying to guzzle water. The pharmacy is back ordered on the OTC allergy medicine I take. There...

We’ve decided that we need a complete new bathroom. Our current arrangements are functional okay, but the shower is leaking, tiles are wonky and the entire business was installed on the cheap before we bought the house and it...

Fiacre Banks @JudyEv I can see problems with mounting such a docility, especially if one was overtaken by a sense of urgency. And old age does preclude lavatorial gymnastics. And anyway - just no. Nightmare to clean.

I wrote yesterday about the installation of a new bathroom which we need and have decided to proceed with. Now I’m wondering, when the work people rip out my old potty ought I to rescue it, put it in the garden, and plant...

Here is the latest jigsaw. Only 500 pieces this time and while it might look complicated it wasn’t too hard to do. The colours were pretty distinct – all the grey woodwork at the bottom, the blue of the lake was a different blue...

Fiacre Banks @JudyEv Not having an exact picture to follow is … exacting. But it’s good having something challenging like that.

A strange and probably little known fact of very little interest is that in England there are quite a few parks known as Tittybottle. One, in Bishop Auckland, started life as Cockton Hill, but was renamed as Tittybottle Park by...

Fiacre Banks @ambiepam A higher toilet is easier to get up from, but a lower toilet is better for intestinal good health - I’ll not go into details.

Usually at Halloween I am at the caravan, so although I do have decorations I don't put them up as I'm not at home. This year though, due to a family party I think I am going to be at home. If that is the case, then I certainly...

Fiacre Banks @Traceyjayne Oh yes, loads - I’m not Scrooge! But I do dislike Christmas. I love pondering the incarnation of course, but Christmas I find to be silly and really quite idolatrous, whereby society tries its very best to shift the focus away from the birth of...

Read further at your own peril. Friday I had a massage. At some point while I was lying face up, the therapist said something and she sprayed spittle and a drop landed on my lip. Ewwwwww. I couldn’t jump up and put hand...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville That’s beyond gross. I’ve been spat upon, bled upon and vomited upon when I worked in the ER but never on my face. Now don’t you go kissing your husband with that mouth for a while.
