It's October, and we're now in the second month of spring. Days are warmer, and the air is full of the sound and smell of growing things, both flora and fauna. Everything is incredibly green, which is such a marvellous change from last year's dusty dryness. It seems as if everything is celebrating the rain … Continue reading Spring Has Sprung

Dog Walking and Peace
I've just walked our dogs. I decided to walk them around the middle of the day on the grounds that I wouldn't meet many people, therefore making physical distancing easier. I was correct about that. What I forgot, was that the forecast today was for 27 degrees C. (80.6F). Our doggies were very excited to … Continue reading Dog Walking and Peace

‘I bet I won’t get even one…’
For some reason this week, my social media feeds have been full of 'I bet I won't get even one like/share...' posts. I have no idea what provokes people to share images/comments like that. Or make them think everyone else will share them. Obviously some people do, but I don't. In fact, maybe it's just … Continue reading ‘I bet I won’t get even one…’
Swimwear Mysteries
We went to the beach today. It was boiling hot here, and there's no end to the heat in sight. Anyway, I've always been a bit of a swimwear conservative. You see, as a child/teenager, I swam competitively, which meant that most of my young swimming years were swum in one piece racing style swimwear. … Continue reading Swimwear Mysteries
