Is it possible JACKIE that the recent events in British politics have been a carefully planned ruse to get Boris back as Prime Minister? Call me suspicious but take the only candidate to throw in a leadership bid so far. If she drops out the votes she has collected will have been saved from any other hopeful and maybe go…

SANDY, Michael was 3.5 lbs at birth [2 months early] and I brought him home when he reached 5 lbs. [5 weeks in an incubator] Up to then I never got to hold him. It was scary because we had to move 200 miles away once I brought him home and I was an only child without any clues about looking after a prem baby with…

Just checked, It’s 32 F here right now. Anne,

Morning all. Ive woken up all bushy tailed and rarin' to go. Not so Bean. She ate her brekkie and went back to bed. The new "works" in the toilet work a dream, thank you Mark! However the bidet [yes I have a very old bidet] is leaking a little now. I expect to see Mark later! but not Michael because he has to work today.…

Yes, my new friend was correct. The groceries arrived. Mark is here fixing my toilet. He had to go and buy new fixtures because everything in this house is so old except Jilly. Just got to get the email fixed tomorrow and away we go. No peace for the wicked as they say, Anne.

JACKIE Truss the brief has resigned. WOW! Anne.

Golly, I thought salt was probably the culprit as well SANDY. Lean Cuisine and Pizza worried me as well. I'm still not getting emails so if anyone happened to send me one you will know why I haven't replied! Its grocery delivery day and I never got the confirmation email. Cross fingers! So here I am getting into the…

Mike tried to email me and I didn't get it. Grocery delivery tried to email me and I didn't get it Yet I received Helens email from Australia. What a mess. Michael will try and sort it out at the weekend. I sort of wish he hadn't bought me a new iPad! between you and me. Anne.

Ah! Home of the Brontes. Mark and Mary Jo are here. I’ve got a jar of her delicious chutney made from our tomatoes. I know I’m old now, Mark is fixing me a short banister on the wall next to the 4 stairs going down to the back door and before you turn right at the small hall to go down the 8 stairs to the basement which…

I haven't a clue where that village is LIN but then all villages in the UK are beautiful to me. I've just watched the last episode in Cranford on PBS. Cranford was my favourite book when young and the series is exactly as I imagined. Had me watery eyed that last episode. I just love happy endings. Glad George is feeling…

I've just had a chat with another octogenarian. You see, when I mail my order in I usually get an eMail back confirming all is well. Yesterday I didn't. I've lost a lot of things since Mike transferred my laptop accounts to the iPad. Anyway I was a bit worried it hadn't gone through so I called their office. A very nice…

Yes, it was pretty nippy here as well early this morning. However, we are promised our Indian summer in a few days. I dug out my heavy polo neck sweater so feel pretty cosy. Anne.

PATSY, super news. I've always wondered if Damon might move to the same town as you and John. You would have a situation a bit like me. Mark is in the same town and Mike is about 45 minutes away. I text them every morning so they know I am still upright. Works a treat and I know Jilly wouldn't be by herself for long if…

Hello everyone. I'm not sure if I've been terribly busy or just getting slower. I know the days are moving at an alarming rate. I had lots of visitors over the weekend which was wonderful but not exactly newsworthy. Jill and I met a pretty young woman who walks a dog named Camilla. Jilly's not too sure about Camilla who is…

Thank you BARBIE and I've just realized Jake I believe is a Libra child as well. Belated happy birthday Jake. Anne.

Oh PATSY, what lovely comments. I've had such a perfect day and I can't tell you how grateful I am for all the beautiful people in my life. Thank you ladies for making my [unwanted] 87th birthday one of the best ever. Mark and Mary jo have just left and I've been in contact one way or another with all the people I love.…

Oh ladies thank you so much for your good and kind wishes. So lovely and I’m blushing. I had decided I was going to give no hints anywhere that my birthday was coming up but stay at 86! So much for that idea, even my first cousin twice removed remembered. I had no idea he even knew I had a birthday imminent having only met…

Oh PATSY, I would remove Jilly Bean from your vet service as well! Poor Katie having a muzzle put on her! I don't think they'd have one small enough to fit Jilly. I'm so lucky. When I first landed in Ontario many years ago I found Dr. Warren and as time went by he retired and his son took over, a very nice man. He has 2 or…

Big goings on in the British parliament and consequently my British pension increased a bit with the exchange rate. Third whoopee of the day! Anne.

Whoopee indeed JACKIE. Hope it makes it over the pond. Anne. Another whoopee! The folks in Newcastle must have got my form because my wee Br. Pension arrived. The Bean and I are very grateful. ❤️❤️

Not up to much here JACKIE, nothing exciting anyway. Thats because it rained all last night and hasn't dried up yet. Yesterday was pretty good though. Mark was here again, this time nailing a few roof tiles that had got sort of semi torn up in those winds we had a few weeks back. He finished painting the new garage door as…

Sad news indeed SANDY. Although very old I was also saddened by Angela Lansbury's passing just short by 5 days of her 97th birthday. So many people just recently it seems. Condolences sent to you and your children on the passing of their dad. Anne.

BREAKING NEWS here, lol. I was watching the tv news which was mainly about cars crashing into each other or people yelling and screaming in various parts of the world when a large removal van rolled onto next doors drive. The van had painted on the side "Xis Long", followed by a long line of Chinese lettering and a car…

Just thought I'd poke my nose in before me and Bean go out in the garden to hunt for the last of the tomatoes and then maybe pull the plants up. We are having our Indian summer and it is 67 degrees. I wish you could see our towns abundance of trees. I have never seen them so colourful, the weather man said it is a…

SANDY, BARBIE made a very good point above. Is Babe having too much salt in his meals? For instance restaurant and pre packaged meals are notorious for overdoing the salt to make things taste good. Mikes friend Sandys daughter and three grandchildren have all got Corvid caught at school they think........ Its back! Mike…

Morning, thanksgiving morning for us. It was a gorgeous day yesterday, the fall colours at their very best. Mike came over and after a lot of rather colourful words [which he didnt learn in Derbyshire!] appears to have finally sorted out my new iPad. It IS quicker and easier than my old 12 year old one, BUT what a lot of…

A long time ago LINDA

Heavens, maybe I should try that!

I'll be back later because Michael is coming over to set up the new iPad. We will be only having pizza for lunch so I can hopefully absorb what he shows me. Reading DIANES piece I realize my old house will be 100 years old next year. The only thing I know, apart from a few antiques, that is older than me! It was down to 39…

I'm having a hot chocolate because it is really cold here. We have a frost warning for this town tonight so I went out and picked the red tomatoes and brought in a plant I've potted but don't have much hope for. I think I will dig out the draft excluder Derek bought me when a little boy for the same reason as JACKIE. We…
