I had my final lesson (out of a block of 10) on Tuesday. Final – because I can’t afford more at the moment. It took one and a half hours and felt quite long to me! I am not sure if I will ever get used to driving. My instructor was still worried I’d …

Bring back the hat
Found this interesting article on the demise of the hat http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8074663.stm I think that hats are a good thing – they make people look nicer and kind of respectable.

Disturbing documentary of the week
Yesterday I caught “My Monkey Baby” on Channel 4. The programme followed three American couples who bought a monkey as a “Baby” substitute. One couple was young and the man didn’t want a human baby, the second couple was retired and the woman suffered from empty-nest syndrome, in the case of the final couple (not …

Get well soon Dave.

However I can vote locally and in the European Elections on Thursday. Well so I thought. Years ago we opted for postal vote as …

Absolutely knackered.
I am really happy that summer is finally here. It means I can re-arrange my cupboards, which are still full of the boring winter stuff and get rid of the hot winter duvet. And after the last two nights we definitely have to get our fan down from the loft. Bobby enjoys dozing in …

Walks in the woods
Friday evening I walked Bobs in the neighbourhood but didn’t get very far. So when hubby came home from work we decided to take her up to the Wenallt. It’s a nice forest, but parking can be a bit of an experience – the parking area is often frequented by lonely old men – and …

There is a dog in our house..
Sorry for not posting for a while – I have been ill since Sunday. But at least I managed to make sure to get some extra bandwidth last week. Next month my blog and website is moving and I hope things will run smoothly. This Sunday I celebrated (belatedly) my birthday with a few …
