We’ve all heard of the Oscars, and film and TV awards, to name but a few, however I’ve decided to hold my own awards. I’ve mulled things over, and below, in no particular order, are the prize winners. The award for Destroying Various Kitchen Items goes to my son, who in just a few short years, has destroyed no less than 5 items, the most notable being a cast iron pan. I’ve never known anyone who has managed to destroy one of these. I hope for kitchen paraphernalia everywhere, that his title r…

Hello my Friends, If you don't see as much of me lately, it's because I am busy with my job during the holiday season. I have increased hours with the accompanying increased stress and fatigue, so it has been very difficult to take photos on a regular basis or even to stop by and comment on your photos as much as I wish. I want to thank all of you who visit my page regularly, and I hope to visit you more frequently after my schedule returns to normal. In the meantime I will visit you as often…

Now that my new GP surgery has my medical records, finally, I decided to bite the bullet and ask for a referral to Neurology. I saw my GP Monday, described my symptoms, the fact that I’d seen a neurologist, however briefly, in Wales and that far from getting better, my symptoms have recently worsened. Last week I stumbled up the stairs, twice, and recently banged my head on the sizeable fridge door handle after misjudging where it was – I’d dropped something, picked it up, and brought tears to m…

Dans une très longue lettre en date du mercredi 25 septembre 1918, Doodie livre de multiples informations sur sa vie quotidienne en Angleterre. C'est un vent de fantaisie qu'elle adresse à Henri Morand, son 'filleul' français sous les drapeaux ... qui semble hautement l'apprécier.

Voilà plus d'une année que Doodie correspond avec Henri Morand, son filleul de guerre. Elle lui a adressé régulèrement des lettres, des cartes-postales et des petits colis. Dans cette missive, la jeune fille, agée maintenant de 17 ans, évoque son aversion à l'égard de ses préceptrices ...

Today, I was in touch with my boss from the campus where I used to work. Regular readers will know that I used to work in Education - teacher training (and the hated Psychology area). Apparently, after 5 years of work and bids, the Welsh government has turned down each and every teacher training course that they applied for. Basically, it means that they’ve been axed. There are still courses that need to run on and finish, but no new courses now, and I’m sure, job losses will follow. I checke…

I have trying to get around to writing this for over a month ! The puppies grow in size and hyper energy ! They had their last set of injections on the 23rd March and then weighed at 16 weeks Celt ... 24.1lbs and Saxon ... 32.6 lbs Now ... I would guess they are ... Celt 36-38 lbs and Saxon 46-48 lbs !! I will know accurately on the 5th June when they next go to the Vet for neutering and they can be weighed. They are little devils ! They never stop . The…

Well here we are at the end of February and all hopes of me being able to hang on to any vestage of sanity are lost in a haze of paws ! Celt and Saxon are on the go all day but ohhhh soooo Thankful am I that they sleep at night . Life has become one long walk and play session ! I have , for over 12 years ,belonged to a dog/cat internet site . We always cautioned people NEVER to get TWO puppies at the same time . The exhaustion level a mere human such as myself goes through is why we sa…

Well, it’s Friday again, and we’ve been installed at the new Ship for a little over 2 weeks now. I had hoped to install a plank for those that are ‘naughty’ but I’m having trouble deciding where to place it. Off the galley roof seems like a plan to me though a quick splat onto the concrete may prove to be less satisfying that a dip into the briny now that we’re landlocked. Having said that, there are plenty of canals here so a trip out in the lifeboat to a canal, and a makeshift plank could well…

Good journey up to the Midlands, safely moved in, with a minor hitch with the removal firm holding my 'stuff' to ransom until I paid more money! More of that to follow. The Deckhand chose well (mostly) and I moved him to the new home the same day (Thursday). Man I was shattered. Sunday I had my first good night's sleep in over a week, so that's good. Ship's dog is off his food a little, but he'll be okay. We found a lovely green space to walk him - trees, a path through some woods, and…

After too many days of hot sunny weather, we’ve had a little rain at last. The forecast is for showers all day, and we had a nice amount first thing, but the garden could use a little more. We’re forecast rain again Friday morning, and thunderstorms on Sunday. Fingers crossed. Obviously, I don’t want rain for the week of the move or the plants may be too heavy, but rain beforehand will be gratefully received. The Ship’s Dog has had his final bath at his usual spa (Pets at Home to you) and he…

Over the past 4 years that I have been a member of ipernity, I somehow managed to join over 400 groups! This is way too many for me to keep up with! In an effort to be a more engaging member to the groups I regularly participate in, I must downsize. Groups that I rarely or never contribute to are the most logical to drop from my list. To the administrators of these groups that I must quit, please don't take it personally! My guess is you probably won't miss me anyway if I haven't contributed…

Here, wind and rain has been lashing the Ship, and whilst a gentle wind is nice for swinging in a hammock, when it’s whistling around the Ship and keeping me awake, then it’s not so good. Sunday, it rained all day. It didn’t stop. Monday was slightly better, and I managed to half-dry some towels on the rigging, however Tuesday has dawned wet, again, and looks set for the day. Honestly, I think I’d rather snow than this rain; at least snow looks nice! Packing is going well, however the ‘cheap’…

Now that Christmas is over with for another year, I’ve started to go through the cupboards to see what I haven’t used in a long while. With a move this year, it seems prudent to do this and if I haven’t used something in ages, then I clearly don’t need it. The attic has been cleared out, now it’s the turn of the cupboards. I took 2 carrier bags of serving bowls and vases to the local charity shop. Nice items, however they have no monetary or sentimental value to me, so somebody else will hop…

Well .... yesterday was a Vet visit for Nerys . Just meant to be a quick check over and hello. It was not quite that easy ! I managed to get Nerys in the car(she is afraid of the car as she thinks it will take her away again. But we have been practicing.) Got to the Vets.. she got out the car and I always take the doggy over the road for a wee. She crossed the road and refused to come back. You cannot tempt her.. or move her. Had to get Jay to drive the car over the road and t…
