Every morning I walk past this wall and at the time I walk with the sun just rising, the light is very beautiful. A golden yellowish wash to the day. I say every morning, but I really mean most mornings. This morning I slept in and dreamt. Something about my wedding candles and supplying a [...]

What a gorgeous day. Not really a day to spend inside playing bridge, but we did, and we won. Yay us. Don’t you love it when older people are naughty. Today at bridge in the seniors competition (all have to be over 59 – and just in case you were wondering, I don’t qualify), one [...]

What a beautiful day. Sure, a little chilly in the morning… we had two duvets on last night, but the sun was shining on my morning walk and I really can’t complain. No geocaching today for me… although three people found our geocache. So exciting. Groover came up with a very witty clue and hidden [...]

My long service leave is rapidly coming to a close and while I haven’t been on any extended overseas vacations, retrained, or sorted out my love life, I have played A LOT of bridge. Four or five times a week will see me pulling cards with the best of them. The last two weekends have [...]
Finally. For the first time EVER in all the years I’ve gone to quiz nights. There has been a question about bridge. And I knew the answer. And we came second overall. No. It wasn’t one answer that got us second place but gee it sure felt good. Thanks for inviting us Feline… But here’s [...]

One of the things I learned on a trip to Bath in the UK was that “avon” is the Celtic word for “river”. Thus when the Romans asked the ancient Britons what that river was called – they called it the Avon. This is why there are so many Avon Rivers in the United Kingdom [...]
I’m tired. My eyes are barely open. They feel sandy. And I feel quite lethargic, reclining as I am my head at an odd angle to gain the cushion, my body twisted so I can keep the laptop plugged in and lie down at the same time. This can’t be good for my spine. I [...]
This is a photo of Groover at the top of the overbridge that we walk on during our weekend’s walk. He nearly always beats me to the top. These days I find it hard to find the time to exercise. Yes I know it’s an excuse. Yes I know that if I really prioritised properly [...]
