Sleeping Beauty

Posted on Thu, 12 Mar 2026
It's funny how children rationalise everything according to their own, obviously vey limited, experience. I can understand where the goat / vote confusion comes from.
I remember early on in Cider With Rosie, Laurie Lee goes to...

Nigella
Posted on Sun, 08 Mar 2026
Lovely poem, Jay. I grow Nigella in my garden, white ones. Even before the flowers come out it fills the flower bed with fine ferny foliage. Then after the flowers are over, the goldfinches go mad for the seed.

Hi Jenny
Opacity is a symptom rather than a cause - it's a result of inflammation, and that can be caused by all sorts of things, in my case it was viral pneumonia.
I absolutely think it's a good idea to go to a medical...

Posted on Fri, 06 Mar 2026
Jenny I am so sorry for your experiences. I spent 7 hours in GWH A&E once. In your previous post you described it as hell, but I think you are doing hell a disservice. Hell is like Butlins compared to Swindon A&E.
When I had...

Debelets is a great word. Sounds to me like it means small Sloane Rangers.
Entertaining and funny as always, although the Ludo Fan Club will be disappointed. We'd hoped he might get have got through a few weeks without physical damage...

Hi Jenny
I'd like to add my good wishes for your speedy recovery to everyone else's. Did you go to GWH A&E ? If you did, then you have even more of my sympathy.
I'm pleased you have your partner so you're not facing this...

Groovy Groomers
Posted on Tue, 03 Mar 2026
Poor shih tzus. I'm a sucker for animal rescue programs, and have seen bundles of completely matted gunk rescued where it's been impossible to tell that there's a dog inside at all. It's heart warming to see the RSPCA vet armed with Black and...
