Having been unwell – cold type virus that left me exhausted – I missed two Lego clubs. It would have been three but the middle week was half-term and there was no Lego club. So I was sitting at home and I got an unexpected parcel… I decided to start with the sunflowers, as they…

Read “Orbital”
This book by Samantha Harvey is the Booker Prize winner for 2024. It is not the sort of book I usually read, but I had given both my brother and a friend copies for Christmas and my sister gave me a copy. What is it about? Well it is a fictional account of 6 people…
Socks
When I buy myself socks they are plain or at the most have coloured toes and heels. When other people buy me socks the plainest have stripes. But most people seem to buy me brightly coloured ones. Why do others think I should have bright socks? Even the person who goes for black themselves? Can’t…
Have a Christmas Meal
A group of us meet at Bishops Mill every week for coffee. Originally it was a group who had lunches on a Wednesday in the church café, so when that closed we agreed to continue meeting. Bishops Mill is the second place we tried and other people who used to go to the church café,…

An Evening with Pam Ayres
Two of us went together. Pam Ayres is as amusing as ever. So? A very entertaining and enjoyable evening!
Short break in Sussex
Yes – another hf holiday – supposed to be “Gentle Guided Walking” and only 4 nights. I drove there and arrived on time for the cream tea and had time to unpack and put boots in the boot room. We had a safety briefing and description of the next days walks and it was there…
Feed a different cat
But this one hates me. And he is a 15 minute walk away, not just 5 minutes. Mind you Rollo hates everyone, except his personal slave (owner) and even hisses at them sometimes! I find him amusing though, so was prepared to do the walk there and back on 3 days to give him his…
Everything stops in the summer.
Well a lot of regular activities seem to, anyway, so we have to invent different things to do. What has that been this year then? We were going to do our usual trip to Bournemouth but I got COVID on the day we were going and we haven’t found a suitable day since, as I…
