Sad Times - Saturday, July 22nd 2006 1:21 PM

Charlie Cat - Tuesday, July 18th 2006 9:30 PM

Water Lilies - Saturday, July 15th 2006 8:56 PM
I’m so happy; my water lily has flowered. Finally! When we moved into this house in the autumn of 2003, the pond was a mess. The previous owners hardly lived here; they...
Birds - Tuesday, July 11th 2006 6:49 PM

Home - Wednesday, July 5th 2006 6:22 PM

Fridge Magnets - Saturday, June 24th 2006 12:03 PM
I posted about my fridge magnets on Thursday only to find, on Friday, that my post had disappeared. Bravenet was having technical problems. That’ll teach me to...
Good news! - Monday, June 19th 2006 4:24 PM
Good news! It hasn’t spread beyond the uterus. I’ll be having the hysterectomy in about a fortnight and, depending on the depth of penetration into the womb...
Hope - Friday, June 16th 2006 10:21 PM
I knew I wasn’t going to like the MRI scan and I was right. It was a bit like going into one of those potholing caves you see on television. I lay down and when...
Smelling the roses - Sunday, June 11th 2006 11:01 PM
The first rose of summer in my garden. I took time to smell it yesterday and had my DS photograph it for me. I’m slowly coming to terms with things and am determined to...
Bad news - Thursday, June 8th 2006 9:30 PM
Today I heard a word applied to me, a nasty word and I no longer feel clean. At different times in my life, I have heard this word. The big “C” took my maternal...

York - Tuesday, May 30th 2006 6:50 PM
We got home this afternoon after a four and a half hour drive down from York. What an interesting couple of days we had! We left Chepstow at midday on Saturday in...
Feeling more optimistic - Friday, May 26th 2006 7:47 PM
It has been the weirdest day ever: I’ve seen the inside of my uterus on a video screen! The hysteroscopy was done under a local anaesthetic but was still uncomfortable with...
Flamenco - Thursday, May 25th 2006 7:18 PM
Yesterday I had a moan about the weather and today it’s beautiful: 18 degrees (64F), sunshine (fluffy white clouds in a blue sky). It’s not going to last, apparently:...
The rain is not in Spain - Wednesday, May 24th 2006 7:41 PM
A couple of posts ago I said that we’d been having the most fantastic weather. Well, I spoke too soon. It’s been raining practically non-stop since Monday last week!...
Sometimes, we just need to be reminded - Friday, May 19th 2006 7:12 PM

The ABCs of Me - Wednesday, May 10th 2006 7:29 PM
Kris “stole” this idea from her daughter Kaitlin and, as I’m brain dead after a day of Spanish GCSE orals, I’ve decided to do the same. So here...

I’ve just disabled my Tag Board as it was all clogged up with Spam. Why do some people have to spoil things?
Happy Writing! - Monday, May 8th 2006 5:37 PM
I subscribe to a “Writing Tips” newsletter from the novelist Andrea Semple. This is her May newsletter. It made me giggle and I think it may make...
"Pinched" - Sunday, May 7th 2006 11:03 AM
Lovely Kris “pinched” me on 5th April and it’s taken me this long to respond. Sorry! But you know how busy I’ve been. I do enjoy these kinds of games and passing the...
