Anton du Beke

Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met? Image from bbc.co.uk I’ve been to see many famous people, but Anton is the only one I can say that I’ve met, and I met someone totally unexpected. He is nothing like the image he used to have on Strictly, more like theContinueContinue reading “Anton du Beke”

You are you for a reason

Gratitude

Everything

What is good about having a pet? As are all beloved pets 🐾 My cats have saved my sanity if not my life. It’s that simple. When I felt that I had nothing to live for, I had them. I took them in, I committed myself to them, and that commitment and the love IContinueContinue reading “Everything”

Nothing

Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car). We were sitting here wracking our brains as to what that might be and came up empty. As our brains are normally filled with all kinds of garbage that was a refreshing change. We often think about what we would doContinueContinue reading “Nothing”

It means everyone is joyously happy, well fed, cared for,ContinueContinue reading “I Want to be Cheery”

One professor toldContinueContinue reading “History”

Badly

How do you manage screen time for yourself? I may be a wrinkly but if it’s modern it fascinates me. As soon as mobile phones appeared my fingers started to itch. I needed to know what this was about. Plus I did live in the country having moved from London, where there was a telephoneContinueContinue reading “Badly”

Time flies

Do you need time? Speaking as a person who was 21 a few short years ago and is somehow mid 60s now, I would describe time as a tricky thing. They say time flies when you’re having fun, turns out it flies when you’re not either. Even though time slows when you’re bored, it’s onlyContinueContinue reading “Time flies”
