Posted on Wed, 11 Jun 2025
This put a smile on my face, despite the hardships and annoyances you seem to be enduring. I enjoyed the poem and the animal details alongside local highlights. We also have a few vacuum cleaners, I won't say how many, some are very old but I...

Such a perfectly adapted creature, fascinating. The perfection of our natural world makes you wonder about lots of things.

I love this. A hard working
Posted on Sat, 07 Jun 2025
I love this. A hard working capable employee. Your brain requires a different sort of discipline to cope with mundane tasks and do them well, day after day. It's sort of meditation. Remy growing his hair is sort of iconic, he keeps the rest of...

Posted on Fri, 06 Jun 2025
Agree with you, UK self-checkouts often have all the staff who formerly manned the now redundant tills standing around like the gestapo watching you so you don't nick anything. The worst thing is when they emit that dull impatient bleep because...

Posted on Thu, 05 Jun 2025

I still haven't been to
Posted on Sun, 01 Jun 2025
I still haven't been to Scotland, Jenny. It's on my list of things to do. Heather and craggy rocks, a place away from man-made complications and the inconvenience of counting time. There is nothing more valuable.

Makes me realise how hard it
Posted on Thu, 22 May 2025
Makes me realise how hard it must have been to arrive somewhere on time in those days. Sticking to whatever arrangements you made by letter or during the last time you saw each other and not only visiting friends and relations but knowing their...

Posted on Thu, 22 May 2025
Reading this, I can relate to the conflicted emotions in regard to people who are desperate but may also prey upon you, rob you etc. Not much has changed over the centuries, Jenny. How lucky Emily is to have a family and money to spend.
