Hello sneakers. I missed posting yesterday because what was going to be a quiet day turned into something else. Just as I was about to make toast for breakfast I received a phone call from the company that offers a care package to vulnerable people by way of an alarm to wear. I was told Sheila’s system appeared to be not…

Weather forecast

More rain today of course. Early morning plans went awry when I stopped at the local post office to post overseas parcels and cards and found that since our Royal Mail was apparently hacked last year, every form now has to be completed handwritten, in triplicate. By the time I had finished a queue behind me went out the…

Happy Monday. The same old story here with wet and windy weather and damp boots and outdoor coat hanging near the log fire to dry them out! I can’t repeat last night’s long post but have searched again because it did one of those magical slides off screen, this after selecting Save Draft! I was telling Sandy my Hiatus…

Indian cuisine

Lost a long post!! 😩😤😡. Going to bed cross! Jackie

It wasn’t the best sleep last night because indigestion woke me up and at one point I imagined I was having a heart attack! I got up and walked around until it eased and am guessing the bean casserole had something to do with it because I have a small hernia above my stomach that sometimes causes issues. Just gone midday…

Beef Wellington

Brrrr 🥶, it stayed below freezing all day so before taking George and Betty round the block, I prepared a bean and chorizo casserole in my slow cooker. It was a quiet walk because the road is still closed off, although I was surprised how many cars drove past the diversion and closed signs as if they didn’t believe it. A…

Hello everyone. My plans went awry this morning because it was snowing heavily when I got up and we don’t get our roads gritted across the moors so I didn’t think it safe to drive. I messaged my hairdresser about 8.30 to tell her if things hadn’t improved in an hour I would have to postpone my appointment but in that hour…

Winter Wonderland

I forgot to say Lin, I loved what looks like a chocolate camel teapot. Not a good idea for hot tea though!! 😁 Jackie

Hmmm? I typed a post after our walk this morning but it seems to have disappeared. I met Sheila at the usual car park on the moor and we walked slowly on level ground for about an hour. She has received manipulation on her back and neck which seems to be helping with pain and also now has a back brace so she will hopefully…

Good morning one and all. The sun is shining and we’re just back from a gorgeous walk across the moors. Yesterday’s trip to the hospital went well and now I anticipate parking problems I’m ready for it! There was a beautiful double rainbow over the road on my way there that I took as a positive sign and the examination…

Car engine

That’s so sweet Barbie! 😁 A showery start so we got wet on our morning doggy walk. I’m now getting myself ready for one of my hospital cancer check ups. I noticed the road into the village is closed for some reason so I’ll have to give myself extra time for a detour before driving to Plymouth. Also extra time to find a…

Long range

We are back to drizzle and grey skies so apart from a half hour walk round the block I haven’t been outside much. On our way home a couple walked towards us with a German Shepherd dog then crossed to the other side of the road, but their dog reacted with an aggressive lunge towards us. I couldn’t believe it when the man…
