I couldn't get a signal on the telly on Sunday night. After I twisted the set about for a while I saw the aerial lead had come out so I stuck it back (into the wrong socket), so still no signal. I called Peter who saw immediately I'd put it in the wrong place.
Well, I've always known we have different sorts of brain. I find it hard to be objective, leave alone technical.
Telling my younger daughter about this she came up with an explanation: women who are exposed to high…

If I lived in days of yore I'd be making my will, packing my bags and preparing to go on a long and hazardous pilgrimage to Rome any day now.
Instead, the snow and odd burst of sunshine have affected me in another way and, instead of indulging in the fever of spring cleaning, I am refurbishing.
Ignoring Peter's 'It's fine as it is - I don't know why you're bothering,' I've had the cloak room tiled in mosaic mirror tiles; I've not got the disco ball but an Art Deco glass…

At the risk of being deeply unfashionable, I'll say it: I think, ideally, mothers with young children should not have to work. (Where the bread winner is low paid or for sole-parent families, this is a different matter; so are mothers suffering from depression who have to get out of the house).
I've believed this most of my adult life but have hesitated to say so, fearing I'd look like a fossil, so why do I say it now?
During the seventies more and more women with school-age…

Yesterday was the commercialised day known as 'Mothers Day.' Just another selling experience for shops, like St Valentine's Day (expensive evening meals, bouquets of flowers, chocolates, diamond rings, whatever trifles take your fancy), Easter or Father's Day, (more of the same).
Bank Holidays,Halloween, harvest suppers, Christmas, Hogmanay, New Year. If the date is right you can eat it or wrap it in gift paper, whatever it is.
I'm not against spending; I rather like buying…

We've had two cats - strays also. My youngest son was very attached to the last one we had, and was (and is) very tender-hearted. He was maybe 8 years old when it died. We told the kids while at the table, and he let out a scream that was one of the most heart-rending sounds I've ever heard in my life. Pure anguish and grief. I can still see my wife's eye's go wide, and then we both ran to try to comfort him (Dad's getting a bit "misty" a decade later just remembering it). To this day he remembers where that cat is buried, and woe betide anyone who site a piece of lawn furniture there.

Ah! Now I understand! No, unfortunately I have no pets, save my sons, which serve as fair substitutes. I have counted a number of Labs as friends in the past, although I'm far better acquainted with Daubermans, who I will defend as the most friendly and loyal crew I know. One of these, named with great originality "Blackie", was a member of our family, and very much an extrovert. Whenever we had company over, she would trot up to the car, and smile her widest smile at them - which generally caused the visitors to get back in the car, and blow the horn until one of my family would come out and laugh at them. We had very little trouble with unsolicited peddling.
I've gone fishing a number of times, but my technique has evolved to where I now proceed by throwing really big rocks at them to see if I can splash them out of the water. Neither this nor the more tradition rod and reel method nets me any fish whatsoever, but I find my current technique to be much more fun!
My father also started out as a traditional fisherman, but eventually found that a shotgun could be more effective. Illegal, yes, but effective.

Gaynor Madoc Leonard said… The Ritz tea is now done in several sittings and booked way ahead, as you've discovered. I've been to the Ritz at about 7pm and found people still having their tea!! For comfort, Brown's Hotel in Albemarle Street is much nicer (many years ago, they had a waiter who could remove the cloth from the table without disturbing the crockery!). The Delaunay in Aldwych does afternoon tea although it's a restaurant, rather than a hotel, but it has all the trimmings and it's become very popular.

That was nice of the hotel. I stayed at the Park Plaza when I went to the Eisteddfod in Ebbw Vale and it was really nice there. So convenient for everything too.

A busy day for you! Don't blame you for putting your feet up tonight.
Glad you liked Rotter Bear (strange name, I know, and I don't know why my friend chose it) - he has an enormous wardrobe of different types of clothes as well as accessories like the guitar and different types of chairs to sit in!

Tomato ketchup is also supposed to protect blonde (the bottle kind, not yours!) from chlorine in swimming pools too. Vinegar is another cheap and excellent cleaning agent, as you say.
