Twilight Zone
Dave returned to the hospital today to have his arm checked. Turns out the chip detected on his wrist bone was an old injury (I remember him doing it when he was in the RAF) and the young emergency Dr. mistook it for a new injury! (That is why his wrist didn’t hurt). His upper…

To Labour Or Not To Labour
Dave’s arm has been keeping him awake at night and is still sore so we have postponed Max’s visit until next week. We want to be sure we can look after him properly. Monday was A holiday here, Labour Day (this spell check doesn’t like my spelling). Not that it makes much difference to us…

September and the growing is good
Another new month, September this time, still warm and sunny outside. I am preparing the enclosed, insulated, heated porch/sunroom for when we have to bring our collection of exotic plants inside because of the cold. Cleaning and sorting out the things that get deployed out there during the summer months, while the plants are gone,…

“… I’ll Tell you no Lies”.
Secrets, we all have them. Some are hidden so deep within us that we almost forget we know them, others we are desperate to share, nearly blurting them out to all and sundry, only stopping at the last minute. Below is a poem I was introduced to as a child in a one room school…

Here We Go Again

Another Month Another Musing
I had wanted to post on the 31st July but stuff happened. We had a very hot and dry July in our area, the last time it was hotter was 1929! We finally got some rain towards the end of last week and today has been rainy and thunder stormy with a Tornado warning for…

When I Was Very Young
I loved that dress it was bright pink cotton and had that huge collar, i also liked the buttons. Think Mum cut my hair, isn’t it awful? More about the Kemptville murder. We pass the house on our way into and out of town and their is a police presence there all the time as…

Oh to be on Vacation.
I have been checking on the murder that happened here on Friday. The brief summery on CBC website explains a 32 year old man is charged with second degree murder and assaulting a police officer. Turns out I know this person, he might be 32 in physical age but he is definitely not 32 years…

Family and Other Things
What a strange day. Was up in the night with my chamomile tea and crossword, so felt a little weary today. Very hot and humid with hot wind, which didn’t make me feel better. Lots of things i should be doing but no energy for them. I spent most of the day preparing a presentation,…
Got any book recommendations?
