Re: Miscellany: Week Beginning ... September 12
Hello. I hope your week goes well. I've been a bit busy but I'm trying to transfer activities from my laptop to the one I got for Blunders. It was refusing to charge and so I took it to be repaired when he died and when I got it back it had forgotten everything he had told it. It can't remember any ...

Re: Miscellany: Week Beginning ... September 5
I've been to a meditation hour on Monday and was going to be phoned in the afternoon for my opinion of the BBC News handling of the Labour leadership contest. I got an email saying they wouldn't be phoning after all, too sensitive by half. Nothing much yesterday. I was due to have a meeting this aft...
Re: Hello
Yes Three Wells, living is is a very good way of saying thank you, but don't forget to thank yourself. You carry on under really difficult conditions and make other people's lives worth living.

One of a long series about a family through history. This one is wound around Trafalgar. When it arrived on request from the library, it turned out t...
Re: Hello
Sorry, I've not been in for a day. I'm weak now from having my locks curbed. I was going for a long walk this afternoon, but got sidetracked. It's just as well I took a walk in Cleeve Abbey car park and community meadow. I've not been to County Clare. Nothing further north than Bantry so far, via th...
Re: Hello
Apparently, he wrote it on a summer's morning after being up all night working on something else. I don't think that spoils it for me. I did love English, but agree that over analysis was a waste of time. I did A level and found the single remark about "The Tempest" that "It was all a...
Re: Hello
I have a happy memory of visiting the docks at Southampton in 1959 when the ship 'United States' arrived having been awarded the Blue Riband for the fastest ever Atlantic crossing. A huge cargo door was open and a sailor threw an apple to us. My little sister caught the fastest apple across the Atla...
