On the weekend I attended briefly (well for a 3rd of the prescribed time) our 25th ‘10 till 10′. This annual event has been going on since we left school. The committed have reunited at a local pub for a session lasting all day. Even though I have lived in this town for most of my […]

I have finished with that wallpaper! It was on the ceiling as well. I couldn’t paint over it because it was vinyl and had a revolting texture. Next task is to prepare the walls for painting.
I’ve been alternating between working around the house and having a day of leisure this week. Tomorrow I think I’ll […]

I’ve spent most of the day stripping the second layer of paper from the walls of the upstairs spare bedroom today. When I first moved into my home, the three bedrooms had really disgusting vinyl wallpaper on them. Not anything that I could live with, that’s for sure. I got straight into ripping off the […]

The last time I spent New Years Eve at Inverloch was in 1983 if I remember correctly. It was a more sedate event this time. I stayed with Rhonda and her daughters friends. It was an immediate culture shock for me after having a quiet few days at home after Tom had headed off to his event. […]

I got my test results this week, I ended up having the chest x-ray as well (caved in to pressure from loved ones) and all is good. No diseases whatsoever and lungs are all good too, even with the punishing I have given them. It was a relief. I am really glad now I didn’t […]

I’m celebrating my long time friend and once business partner, Wilma’s birthday tonight. It was her birthday on the 16th, but since we no longer live in the same area and mid week celebrations aren’t as fun, tonight’s the night. I met Wilma over 20 years ago when I was 18. We were both at […]

Up until my daughter went to secondary school, she was a fabulous performer. She was in the drama ensemble of the State Schools Extravaganza ‘Quest of the Birds’. She was a voice of one of the puppets and I was in total awe of her as she performed in front of such a large audience […]

My rings were sitting on the table and two of Tom’s friends tried them on. One of them asked if I would leave her the rings when I died. She said to her friend “Remember in year 7.” These kids had been in my homeroom when they were in year 7, almost 6 years ago. […]

When my kids were in Primary school, one of them, I’m not naming names, came home from school with the latest joke! S/he slapped my face (ever so lightly and playfully) and then said “Forget it, it’s in the past now”. We both laughed and went out into the world to find others to play the […]

Today I was reading Mystic Medusa:Ultrascorping.., I had to check in because I noticed this morning at our briefing everyone was looking a bit shabby and I assumed that the looming full moon had something to do with it. The reference made to late 2005 started me wondering, what I was up to then. As my memory […]
