  1. Just one

    Nothing to say today except for one interesting thing.

    We have a family of squirrels living in our garden and they're rather partial to monkey nuts. They're always out in the garden, scurrying around and burying them. A while ago, we found one in the corner of our doormat (The cat liked scratching it every time he came in the front door ) so there is a kind of gap in that corner. A while later the nut was gone. Tonight, as mum was putting out the rubbish, she stepped on another,

  2. New Years Day

    Ruth off today. I have the 2-10 shift. Brandy was under weather but holding up. Tonya arrived at 4 and she's got a headache but holding up also. Her daughter fractured her arm (again) at her aunt's house and in a sling for now.

    Arrived home--Sandy and Mike had visited Ruth just prior to midnight but Mike left before I got home. Little Ron was probably tired.

    Still winning my e-bay. Tim at the Bookery had an old issue of Super Science Stories that has the second ...

Bob has actually been visiting.

    Took some time and ...

  4. NEW YEARS PONDERINGS

    It's hard to believe another year has come and gone, and the age-old saying, "Time flies" can be a daunting reality. Where does it go? People have pondered the question of time for centuries. Einstein said, “The only reason for time, is that everything doesn’t happen at once.” Oddly, while time is free, it can never be owned. Time can be used, but once lost, never gotten back, so perhaps the idea is not to count every hour of every day, but to make every hour within each day count. ...

  5. New Year

    Happy new year to all and to all a good morning .

    After 18 years I have found New Year celebrations to be a bit boring now. I suppose it's because it's just me and mum.
    No 'Happy New Year' emails for me, though I sent one to Tom, out of politeness, though he probably can't be bothered to check his hotmail account while he's there (it's not like he can't).

    I did nothing today. I have just two more days of freedom before I'm back at school (Imagine dramatic
