The same wavelength
Posted on Sat, 22 Jun 2024
Thatcher was an awful woman but at least she knew what she was doing.

Easter Rising

The mother-in-law

We have an English friend here who does Sudoku. She admits that sometimes it's a bit of a waste of time but says at least it gives her something to think about while she's talking to her mother-in-law on Skype.
