  • A family outing

    My two sisters came to visit me today so we drove to a local beauty spot so I could have a change of scenery on my daily walk(as blogged about previously). The sun was shining although there was a bit of a breeze although this didn't seem to bother the ducks much.
    I wasn't going to bother posting any pics of the ducks and geese but they posed so nicely I couldn't resist.

  • It comes to all of us eventually

    elderly-person-blogging
    For over twenty years, t'old man and myself have periodically looked out through the living room window and commented upon the old people who, without fail, pass by our window every day with such regularity on their daily walk around the block.
    In our ignorance we would comment to each other on how commendable it was that the pensioners persisted in their pilgrimage to keep active while at the same time jesting that if we were ever reduced to the same routine we would be inclined to 'give up the ghost'.U-(

    So, what have I been doing this last week or so??
    You guessed it ... i've been taking a daily walk around the block in order to regain my health, it is about as far as I can go just now and I have been grateful for it.
    I will never be blase again, these oldies know what is good for them ...only it will be nice when I can abandon my daily sojourn around the neighbourhood in the hope that I can get back to this activity once again

  • A prize is a prize!

    T'old man has held just £500's worth of premium bonds for years and years now.

    He has only ever won one prize which was a few years ago and was the lowest prize of £50.

    In the post yesterday he had a surprise as he recived notification of his second ever premium bond win.

    Alas it was the lowest prize once again only this time it is £25, the scrooges have reduced the lowest possible prize in half recently :roll:

    I keep on telling him to cash them in but NO..he insists he'll win a biggie prize one day ..YEAH! like he's always going to when he checks his lottery tickets every week :))

  • From the place called home

    My, what a roller-coaster fortnight that has been!!

    I have arrived home in one piece (not strictly true as i'm minus a few interior bits) albeit a little battered and bruised, but i'm quite well considering.

    I'd like to thank Marika for the well crafted "friend's posts" she placed for me and all the lovely messages that were left, they boosted me tremendously
    It'll be back to my usual drivel soon but as i'm still sorting out my "new" plumbing and settling back in that's all for now
