All of Them

Describe your dream chocolate bar. The best birthday present ever! As long as they’re milk chocolate. I actually had my dream chocolate bar about twenty years ago. There was a Cadbury Chocolate store near us, and they were selling this enormous bar of chocolate. Each square was 2” across, and as deep. You couldn’t biteContinueContinue reading “All of Them”

Clarence on the Debate/Debacle

Dear Friends I’m a bit shaky today. I watched the debate last night. If that even convinced anyone to actually vote the UK is in a worse state than I thought.

But today is the start of another trip round the sun for me and I want to think about good things. What you think so you bring about, so this year my focus willContinueContinue reading “I Refuse to Discuss It”

I Turn Them Off

How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen? Obviously! Everyone knows that you shouldn’t leave electrical items plugged in all the time, and certainly not switched on. It can be very dangerous. In fact it’s much safer to unplug them altogether. I know they have fusesContinueContinue reading “I Turn Them Off”
