Last night, my best friend and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, “I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.”
She got up, unplugged the Computer, and threw out my wine.
She’s such [...]

OK, I have a pile of work to do, my desk is hidden beneath a mountain of paperwork, and here I am playing at memes. Not going to bother naming anyone to do it next - but have a go if you like procrastinating…
4 jobs I’ve had

Self employed [...]

Dad is back in the Home for the Bewildered and firmly ensconced in the smoking room. Turns out to have been bad dehydration. Clearly he’s not getting enough to drink - or not being prompted to drink it. If only he was closer to this side of town…
But we can all relax again, safe in [...]

Spent yesterday in hospital with my dad. He was in for a routine procedure in the morning and they happened to notice that his kidneys were failing. The careworker who was with him went off duty at 2pm so we got the call to go in and sit with him because they were keeping him [...]

Well folks, it was our Quiz Night again last night. You may remember that the Foleys have walked away with the prize on the last two occasions so this time they were banned from taking part again. So they split up into two teams (girls and boys) but wouldn’t you know it… Archie won again. [...]

Took a bit of a risk at the Children’s Sermon today. I started off by asking them what sort of things worried them. K said she worried about death. We can always rely on K to tell it how it is. I had a few suggestions printed out on card so I read them out [...]

“Don’t worry,” says the Lord. “Are the birds in the air worried?” Well, they do look a little windswept… “Look at the lovely lilies… are they worried?” Well the ones in church looked a little nervous at church cleaning this morning.
Don’t worry. Well, that’s all very well for you to say. But between now and [...]

It being my day off, Son #2 and I went to the flicks to see the latest Indiana Jones and what a disappointment. Bad script, lousy and unbelievable story, terrible use of stunt doubles, and poor continuity. Poor old Son #2 has been looking forward to this for such a long time and was livid [...]
