Well we got to my brother’s and back, but not in my car.
Had the car all packed and ready to go. Daughter dressed, packed – all set to go. Turn the key – nothing happened. The (new) battery had gone dead. Brilliant. Just brilliant. Luckily I belong to the Automobile Association and called them [...]

Frustrations

I thought I had updated since the last entry, and then remembered. I had tried and my entry had included a picture which I tried to insert. I’d uploaded it and tried to figure out how to insert it and followed the instructions but the picture wasn’t listed, so I couldn’t choose it to insert. [...]
Update when I can!

Now I’m not feeling so stressed, I am able to update more often. Not that there’s anything to write about really.

It all depends on what you’re used to. Our likes, dislikes, expectations all stem from our environment.

Listening to: Motorhead
I thought I may as well update.
Met the new man and he seems a very amiable chap. Very forward and joking – the type that puts you at ease (well some people, unless you’re a prude). He’s very good at puns, which my friend is also into – lovers of the English [...]
A cup of tea, a garden, some birdsong and music

Listening to: Novembre
Finally, after how many weeks of unending rain and bitterly cold winds, we get a day of sunshine. I welcomed the warmth and sat in the sun with a cuppa, soaked it all in and listened to the birds and the radio inside playing Mozart. Heaven. Oh yes. Such little moments of joy [...]
