Sunday 29 March 2009
I flew up to Scotland last Monday morning and was met at the airport by my friend Lorraine and her partner Andrew. The flight was described by the Captain as ‘a trifle lumpy’, so I’m glad I took anti-sickness tablets. We flew very high above the clouds because the wind was so [...]

Sunday 22 March 2009
The last few days have been glorious; warm and still. The flowers are blooming and I have a large patch of violets in the garden that seem to have suddenly appeared. There were one or two last year but this year they’ve invaded the lawn and large areas of untended soil. It’s [...]

Monday 16 March 2009
As part of the ongoing improvements to the front of the house Gordon has decided to dig up the lawn in order to put in a new septic tank. The grass won’t be missed. The ground is sour and the sun rarely reaches it as it’s in the shadow of the house. [...]

Following a frantic phone call from my eldest daughter today to find out my credit card details I was informed she’d bought tickets for the Michael Jackson concert in London for herself, a friend and Steph.

Yesterday was Stephanie’s 17th birthday and coincidentally, Dad’s 73rd. This was less than perfect timing on my part as seventeen years ago Dad was of the opinion that his birthday present consisted of a grand-daughter! It’s a hard one to top, even with a good DVD, and I’ve been struggling ever since. [...]

Tuesday 3 March 2009
A while ago we were given an old computer by a friend who knows Gordon likes to dismantle them and play, or at least that he used to. Nowadays he rarely has the luxury of spare time or the enthusiasm for such things and so it has been stored in our hall. [...]

Sunday 1 March 2009
I can’t believe that we’ve just started the third month of the year. When I was younger and people said time speeded up as you got older, I thought they were talking rubbish, but it’s so true. I guess that means I’m definitely on the path to getting older even if I’m [...]
