What TV shows did you watch as a kid? “Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin?” That was how Listen With Mother opened on the Radio. A nice comfortable, happy, programme of stories for children. Television was in its infancy. We had Andy Pandy, and the Flowerpot men. I loved them. We had Children’s Hour.ContinueContinue reading “Not Many”

Night
What’s your favorite time of day? I like the energetic peace and quiet. When the underlying emotionally chaotic vibe of the world quietens. I love being awake after midnight. It’s so quiet. The air is softer. I’ve never been an early morning person, unless you count 2 am, so I can’t really comment much. ButContinueContinue reading “Night”
Sweetness
There is a sad Yet optimistic sweetness That settles over the night A day forever gone A new one to anticipate Memories have been created Hopes for tomorrow fly forth Reaching into the future Bringing back the light into life Ready for the morning When everything is possible Rest awhile Be at peace Tomorrow isContinueContinue reading “Sweetness”
Chocolate Fondue
What’s your favorite recipe? Made with a dash of Tia Maria and coffee, a decent chocolate and single cream. It’s an amazing and healthy dessert. You can dip in small pieces of sponge or biscuit, but a selection of fresh fruit is by far the best. It’s a lovely, social, fun way to connect. ThereContinueContinue reading “Chocolate Fondue”
My New Private Facebook Group
Tell us about the last thing you got excited about. This is pretty much what happened. I’d been struggling with social media for a while. Left everything but Facebook. The sheer overwhelm, too much information on speed, a lot of it questionable, too much of it unkind. If you’re thinking it’s not that much that’sContinueContinue reading “My New Private Facebook Group”
For people
How would you design the city of the future? You did ask. Small enclaves. Beautiful housing for all. Shops and restaurants in every area. Lots of walking paths. No high rises. Community cars. Public transport. Lots of garden areas. Play areas for children, spaces for teenagers. Lots of entertainment for everyone. Live music on weekendContinueContinue reading “For people”
The Social Media Myth
I’ve been on social media for over a decade, maybe nearer 2 decades. I used to enjoy it, it was a place to connect with others, meet new people, I honestly thought that I would make new friends that I could meet. I have had some luck with that. I initially joined to connect withContinueContinue reading “The Social Media Myth”

A battle
Where did your name come from? Just for a laugh I’ve told the story before that my dad wanted me called Ann. My mum refused to spend her life correcting people who called me Annie because she hated the name; seriously thank you mum. I don’t hate it but… My aunt named me, she didContinueContinue reading “A battle”
Life
What motivates you? Or sometimes not. I came into this world from a better one on a complete misunderstanding. You see I’ve never seen one reason to be nasty. Any need to attack in any way for any reason. It literally doesn’t compute. To defend the weak I see a point. I couldn’t stand backContinueContinue reading “Life”
