All of us over age 55 are due to receive a bowel cancer testing kit in the post next week. How you’re supposed to fill their little pot up isn’t clear right now but I suppose I’ll have to work it out… … with a pencil maybe?? 🙂
For reasons I still don’t fully understand… being almost asleep… the wife’s alarm went off at 5:30 this morning and up she got to shower and get ready to go off to work. This early? I thought she’d finished having to go in early once all the redundancies she’s been handling had all gone through…. … More Damn cold this morning!
Was talking last night to my eldest daughter – well messaging her actually, she’s in the UK so I’ve not seen her for a year or two. 😦 She was commenting that I’d not written anything about her which is true. In some ways she’s probably better off that way… 🙂 To confound the sociologists … More Yet more family.
Not sure what brought this to mind but a few years there used to be a family living n the street with a mother I used to call ‘the gorgon’. Not because she was hideously ugly, though I’d not have fancied her. but more because she was so far up herself she could see daylight … More The gorgon.
Seems my son is on the move back in the UK. I’ve not got any idea where he’s gone… I hardly ever hear from him… and never at all from his wife. In fact the last time we heard from her was a curt email complaining because we’d let the wife’s cancer interfere with her … More Talking of family.
Mail from my brother. He’s seen a consultant who tells him he has an ‘enlarged heart’ No idea how serious that is, but he’s a 50 year old fitness fanatic so perhaps he’s just pushed himself a bit much over the years… who knows. I don’t think I have the enlarged heart… just an enlarged … More Family – gotta luvvem.
It’ll be summer soon and can’t wait. For a start of course it’ll be warmer… but there’s more to it of course. There’ll be flowers, kids home from school, even fresher veg in the shops… and with luck… another visit from the oldies! No idea what to expect this time from my mother. It’s been … More Roll on summer
So here we are again. It’s 7:30 a.m. and I’m sitting in front of the machine up in the computer room. I’ve been here for an hour. The kids have both drifted in slowly and are also now playing on their machines. The wife is still somewhere in her own world sleeping quietly and working … More Another day, another dollar.
Well not all of us… just the older daughter. And not tomorrow… but she *is* going to the zoo. In fact she’s going to do a ‘sleepover’ in aid of charity organised by the local Girl Guides. She’s been before… a couple of years ago and had a great time. The kids sleep out under … More We're all going to the Zoo tomorrow.
The kids are both female. One is ten the other 6… and they fight like cat and dog… except the cat and the dog seem to get along better and with less fighting!. I seem to spend my entire life shouting at them either to stop fighting, or for *them* to stop shouting at each … More Kids – what *do* you do?
