It wouldn’t be Christmas without a catastrophe, would it? I just got a message from one of my daughters telling me that my wife’s car has died. They’re in Belfast and there’s little point trying to get anything done at 5pm on...

Fiacre Banks @fourwalls Thankfully the boyfriend’s father got it started - one on the battery leads had worked itself loose! So she thinks she’s good for another 25 years.

You did realize that if I talked about "pee" yesterday I was destined to talk about "poop" today, right? I visited several penguin colonies when I was in South America and boy can they poop! They can...

Today, Christmas Eve, is bin day and that pleases me. It’s a token statement that the world hasn’t stopped, and it gives me an empty bin to fill with the surfeit of Christmas rubbish. I watched as the truck trundled along our...

Fiacre Banks @LooeyVille I’m quite proud of it. I have dozens coming up on the garden but they won’t bloom till early spring.

Out of nowhere the unsavoury memory arrived unbidden and unwelcome this morning of my aunt gifting me some underthings at Christmas when I was 16. Big purple y fronts they were, and several sizes too large. How weird. I suppose it...

We keep things pretty simple in the Looeyville household. We are minimalists. We don't go out much. We don't like a lot of celebration and fanfare. Lately our schedules have been really full with doctor's appointments, taking...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville Quiet and simple is the way to go. Our Scottish daughter is in Belfast for the week with her boyfriend but not staying with us. We’ll see her for a while today then call with number 1 son and see number 2 son tomorrow for a while. Thankfully our...

Yes, I turned on my air conditioner. Today, it will be a “delightfully” humid 78 degrees F (26 C). You might think, that’s not bad. But you forget the humidity of Oklahoma, and how sticky it gets. Not to mention, it’s winter!...

I read today that a woman in a remote part of Arnhem land in the far north of Australia slipped and broke her ankle in three places. With no mobile coverage and too far from her camp for anyone to hear her cries, she crawled 500...

86 days until spring. Can you believe it's Christmas Eve already? I have no plans for tonight; but tomorrow is the day that cousin #2 comes over and makes dinner. We will probably watch a movie. What are you doing...

Fiacre Banks @lindaohio I’m trying to eat as little as possible. It’s difficult to eat sensibly at Christmas.

Fiacre Banks @judyev I worried about her at the time. What 16 year old wants his maiden aunt giving consideration to his under items?

Hubby put on The Grinch (2000) with Jim Carrey last night. Nope, I don't like it. Jim Carrey is way too frenetic and over-the-top for me. I prefer the original grainy cartoon grinch from the 1960's. So I haven't seen any...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville No. I loathe them. The time would be more profitably spent passing a kidney stone.

Fiacre Banks @judyev You just can’t be too sure about some people’s parking choices. We had an oik park right across the front door of the Church making it impossible for a wheelchair user to get in. When the driver turned up he said he thought it would be okay since it...

My cousin died Saturday. She was 71. She lived 2 hours north of where I've always lived. I haven't seen her in 40 years and truth be told I don't remember seeing her very often in the first place, maybe a dozen times in my...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville No. I might check the death list for my own town and pick a random funeral and attend that and use it as a proxy!
