  • Tiny Amounts…

    Oops. I forgot to write my blog yesterday (Sat) so i will write it today. We wait for the Glory of Easter Day. I fear this year will not be as wonderful as Easter usually is. Partly because I have not really been engaged for most of this Lent. The churches closed halfway through and…

  • Where you there…..?

    Today is Good Friday, it was freezing cold with a wind and some rain. I walked around the property remembering what it was like to walk through Kemptville with fellow Christian’s and the Cross in commemoration of Christ’s journey over 2000 years ago. We were also lucky to be able to watch, on Facebook, the…

  • Staying sane in a mad world

    I believe I am perfectly sane, it is everyone else who is suspect. I tried to lighten the strain of shopping, in this new world, by wearing my bunny ears while waiting in line outside the liqure store, not sure how that one worked. We did decide that Ford was keeping the liquor stores open…

  • A little of what you fancy

    My father decided, when i was around 11, it was time i cleaned my own shoes, we all had leather shoes for school in those days and cleaning them was a weekly event. Everyone’s shoes were either brown or black; you started with a small brush upon which you put a small amount of shoe…

  • Green tea with a little lemon

    Another beautiful day. Spent a large part of it on the garden clean up, i am very happy with that. Turkey is using its ancient hand cleaner, Kolonya as a hand sanitizer and it works as it has a high alcohol content. I keep looking at the face and body covers i described in a…

  • Sorting it all out

    Talked to my American cousin today, all is well with their family for now at least. Saw a very funny post on Facebook with pictures of how people are responding to the perceived need to wear face/body protection while out shopping. One person had a plastic bag wound around her head, another had a pointed…

  • In Sickness and in Health

    My nephew in UK may have an appendicitis, grumbling, perhaps. He has been advised to wait and see how painful it gets! Someone else I know needs a heart operation and is waiting to see if they get a call to go to the hospital. Yet another had a pacemaker fitted,the first one went awry…

  • O sole mio

    As it has been raining on and off all day i decided to use this title (see Reference below) and then I had to use this picture as Morecambe and Wise (British Comedy duo) used “Bring me Sunshine” as there Theme Song: Bring me Sunshine, in your smile,Bring me Laughter, all the while,In this world…

  • Staying Current

    What exciting times we live in. Me and a small group of friends just experimented with Zoom this afternoon to see how we would cope with it. We hope to be able to use it to have a virtual book club meeting. Our membership is what might be termed “older” so some of the steps…
