May I start by saying that I wish all my readers a very Merry Christmas. It has been both a happy day, full of cheer, happinesss, laughter and the delightful Aurora. But, also as he same time tinged with a hint of sadness. I feel immensely frustrated that I have not been able to helpContinue reading “1855 – Christmas Daay, 2025”

It seems that every so often, I forget to do a post and so the count goes back to zero. Last night then, was a bit different. I made a deliberate decision not to do a post. Let’s just say that I have been feeling a bit rough, for several weeks now, and last nightContinue reading “1854 – One of those times.”

I’m feeling a bit rough at the moment, with a bad cough – it’s really annoying. The doctors are working on it, but nothing conclusive has been found yet. Today then, I got away with having a lazy day. We watched a bit of TV, and did the ironing. Elayne went and did the shopping.Continue reading “1853 – Lazy Monday”

I think I have left tonights post too late. I really can’t think of anything to write. I could have wrrittent about having our granddaughter for a good part of the weekend, she was as usual and absolute delight. She has started to walk independently, it’s really lovely to see. I could also have writtenContinue reading “1852 – We go out for a meal.”

Over the next day or so, I should have a couple of videos available for YouTube. I promise you, that these videos are so good, that you will want to watch them again and again. My only real question is; should I put them up? I have put so much effort in to them (andContinue reading “1849 – YouTube Videos”

I’ll be honest, the header picture bears no connection whatsoever with Waterlooville. A quick story on how the town got its name as told through Google; Waterlooville got its name from soldiers returning from the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, who stopped at a local inn, the “Heroes of Waterloo,” for a celebration, with many choosing to settleContinue reading “1848 – Waterlooville”

I had to go over to Portsmouth. Can you believe; two dental appointments in one day? The first was a consultation which left me with a choice – a course of treatment that would cost £2330 (double root canal), with a likely 75% success rate or an extraction. The second visit was, luckily a routineContinue reading “1846 – Out and about”
