Nope, never heard of Zari apples JACKIE, and LIN - today's teapot looks like something a Chinese Mafia boss might enjoy using. Had to smile. I bought a can of spam in case of protein shortage in the next virus wave IF it comes. I haven't eaten spam since I was a kid in WW2. Couldn't resist having a taste today and it's…

Just to mention absolutely gorgeous day on our morning totter and sniffle. Only lasts a few days though. I wish all of summer would be so perfect and comfortable. Anne.

They aren't skinny jeans Sandy. At least I wouldn't call them that. They are sort of a boot cut. Anyway, I really like them and comfy to wear with a little "give". Update on poor Tony next door. I haven't seen them lately being somewhat indisposed. He's in the hospital with a blood infection and Maria has to stay with him…

For SANDY I'm not the model.......obviously! Anne.

We've just got home from a long but very slow walk. Luckily Jilly likes to sniff every blade of grass which helped. First day of autumn and we chatted to one or two neighbours along the way. Because the news from Britain is fairly grim I've just ordered two Christmas gifts from Marks and Spencer's. JUST in case everything…

Well you might be over 70 Sandy love - you sure don't look it - and I'm over 80 but we both have one thing in common I think, our brains remain pretty youthful and in my case it simply can't quite believe it lives inside a body that can't keep up with it. There's so much I want to DO still! Like learning to fly alone in a…

Dear SANDY I once rode a bike EVERYWHERE not ever having owned a car and like you I am very tempted to get on the bike in our garage. However, I remember an old friend who decided to ride a bike again. Her tyre hit a loose pebble and down she went with disastrous results in the breakage department. And was it last year…

Not much from me I'm afraid. Absolutely beautiful day, blue sky, leaves turning everything magical. I tried the new phone out this morning on poor old Michael getting ready for his day in the office. Works beautifully and so much lighter than the eons old phone. Wondering what to have for lunch which for me is dinner. I…

JACKIE. That was nice getting a positive message about BUZZ. I'm still getting the back ache but the Meds are helping enormously. No more health mishaps but the land line phone gave up the ghost today. It was pretty elderly. Mike rolled up so he, me and the Bean drove over to Canadian Tire and picked up a very nice land…

Not much from me, but it might make you smile. Or not of course. Cheery man's voice on the phone, "hello! And how are you today?". Me "I'm not well at All. Who are you?". "Oh sorry about that. I am Peter ........ and I'm in your neighbourhood. I'm a Jehovah's Witness and I'd like to talk to you in the comfort of your…

ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY BOB? WELL, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and what a great start to the day, Anne.

This is my Hornsea pottery breakfast porridge bowl. Named "Heirloom" and bought in the late 60s when we had no idea we would end up in Canada. Anne.

Hornsea LIN where my forbears lived and are buried. Actually my great grandfather and five of his sons worked there before it became a pottery and manufactured hand made bricks instead. Three of his boys were killed in the Great War. My grandfather survived because he was lame in one leg and therefore couldn't enlist and…

Well Mark, he of the very bad back, showed up and agreed with me I've got sciatica. Mark is an expert on bad backs believe me. He showed up to take me to the stores to look at mattresses but I couldn't have walked around a store if I'd tried. It turns out they have a new mattress in their guest room that Mary Jo couldn't…
-
Good morning Sneakers. I have a conundrum. I have decided my bad back is connected to both my mattresses, main bedroom and guest bedroom. So I've been looking up the cost of a decent mattress. Wow, they can be expensive! Meanwhile the vet has sent me an email that the Bean is due for a complete check up and shots. Us pet…

PATSY, as I look at our smoky grey sky I'm thinking Patsy is floating up there. Well your breath anyway. Confession coming up, John isn't alone, that's how I shop my lists. Even when I order from Grocery Gateway. It does stop me looking at naughty things I might fancy otherwise! Anne.

Just wanted to also mention that although sunny, our sky isn't blue. Sort of a hazy, yellowish, grey colour. Apparently caused by the west coast fires all those thousands of miles away. Remarkable. Too high to cause air quality problems and giving us a red sun in the evening. Our temperature climbs to 84 today before…

Love your card LIN. Glad I don't have any bubbles over MY head just now! Actually our mail is so dodgy I won't be mailing any cards for some time, birthday or Christmas unless I can hand deliver. Sad, but sign of the times. More later but wanted to mention that after Lins reminder. Couldn't believe my eyes just now, MFP…

The boats back! And three burly men are trying to park it next to my fence. Watching with my beady eyes. Anne. PS. They are emptying liquid from the engine onto the dirt drive. Hope it's water!

SANDY, believe me the house looks TONS better than it did in the past. I was told by a town official that our town had three problem houses and the folks who bought next door to me owned one of them. Years ago, in an effort to block out the back yard mess Mark and I shared the cost of a 7ft high fence. The chap who erected…

That's my scenic view by the way to the left. Here's the view to the right. Anne. 😇🐶❤️

A mystery for you Sneakers to solve. Not only as the lilac bush gone, but both vehicles AND the boat. Gone fishing? Anne. 😇🐶❤️

I've just done an interesting quiz on telling where you originated by your accent. Mainly based on how you pronounce words or something like - do you use Autumn versus Fall etc. Guess what, it was absolutely spot on with me despite having left my birthplace 60 years ago. "You can always tell a Yorkshireman" etc etc and in…
