@thane16 Thank you for asking. I will admit that I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I was just getting used to having a knee that was never going to be the same, the “new normal” and even talked about getting back on my bike and then…. Well always keep a tidy work area.
The mister is very helpful again. No good meds for home but I…[Read more]

Sorry I should have mentioned music. The 1st album I bought was Tommy by The Who. Coincidence?

@thane16 I only wish we had a mango yellow phone! Our kitchen was burnt orange and avocado green, appliances and all. Ah the colours of the 70s. My Mom also loved red and black in the living room.
Sorry for taking so long to reply but I broke my arm last Monday and it was my right arm. I am of course right handed so all is harder. It has t…[Read more]

@ps1l0v3y0u @dentarthurdent @thane16 I was about 14 yrs old when my bestie called me on the phone(avocado green and attached to the wall) to announce the purchase of a new album. I went over to her house where we holed up in the basement bent over her portable record player and heard Dark side of the Moon for the 1st time. The 1st time of h…[Read more]

@nerys I think Donna is feisty , mouthy ,loud and angry and I love her. She reminds me of one of my sisters, my aunt and my mom , slightly scary and liable to run all over me but there is nobody better to have in your corner when the going gets tough. The Doctor Donna will fight for what is right and for the underdog. I think she is a great c…[Read more]

@nerys @dentarthurdent Maybe that menacing feeling I had is shared by others and they are gifted enough to write about it. I love my garden and thankfully the feeling was fleeting and hasn’t happened since , although , I sometimes think they are plotting behind my back. For now though there are veggies to eat, fruit to jam, peppers to pi…[Read more]

@nerys @thane16 With everything costing so much more it is great to have a good library in your area because everything there is freeeee!! Sometimes I have to wait but I am OK with that.
@dentarthurdent @whohar The other day I was standing out in the garden surrounded by growing things and all the critters they attract and it was all go…[Read more]

@nerys Wow! You have been on an epic journey with the Doctor right to the end. What an ending, Rose is the Doctor? What? What,what what? I would watch that.
It has been awhile since I watched this one but I remember being thrilled to see Anita again and saving the Doctor also. The rest of it is a blur of monsters and Unit and …other stuff.

@dentarthurdent @ps1l0v3y0u @thane16 Hello! There are some very interesting posts here and it has taken me awhile to read them all. I have no problem with social messaging especially when so many more people seem to get their information and news from screens. There is proof that watching too much violence or too much doom scrolling can a…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent Sorry, we are not prepared to lend out Mark Carney at this time, he is way too busy here or at least he better be. There’s a lot going on.
Peter Capaldi would make a great Bond and he already has attack eyebrows.
@janetteb The Who movie was an American production that was filmed in Canada so you can’t blame us, especially on…[Read more]

@nerys @blenkinsopthebrave Happy Canada Day! The place still looks good no matter what her age. I have seen a lot of maple leaves and flags on houses,cars,faces, fences and pickup trucks to celebrate the day. A sea of red and white. I hope everyone has a good birthday party however you want it.
I saw a sign the other day that made me ch…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent He “filled in the blanks ” in a most excellent way. He must have had fun with that. @nerys The Thick of It is good for a laugh if you can find it. I got it at my library.
@ps1l0v3y0u The Mondasion Cybermen are really horrifying because they show so clearly what or who they used to be. So human and yet they are monsters like…[Read more]

@ps1l0v3y0u I loved The Thick of It and particularly Malcolm. The contempt he had for idiots and incompetents and the way he expressed that contempt was delicious. I learned some totally new swears ,things I’d never heard before and I worked in a bar for 6 years. Peter was perfect as usual.

@thane16 Thanks for the kind words. Our little man is now 8lbs and growing. He is a very contented baby.
I have visited the ospreys , they are very wonderful and so are the people who work hard to protect them and provide them with nesting sites. Thanks and hello to your friend.
We have them nesting on the river but they also needed p…[Read more]

@nerys @dentarthurdent We spent hours watching black oystercatchers on the shore on Vancouver Island. They were fun to watch as they ran along the rocks looking for food, They are lovely and silly at the same time.
I would love to see a Billie Doc or any Doctor for that matter. Anything to distract me from the stuff that goes on. My old Mo…[Read more]

@janetteb Well nothing could be nicer than to have maple syrup remind you of me. It is yummy and even here it is expensive so making our own saves a bit but is mostly fun and a way to celebrate trees and spring.

@dentarthurdent We call that “snirt” , dirty snow. Happy you didn’t get a bad storm and I hope the rest of your country does as well. We have had rain for days and our creek is high but not flooding yet. We have trumpeter swans, mallard and golden eye ducks and of course Canada geese swimming around the creek and birds are gathering nest…[Read more]

@nerys The snow is lovely ,white and clean.It sparkles like glitter in the sun and hides all. When it melts there are a couple of weeks of brown. Muddy boring brown, yuck! It makes it so much nicer to see the greens and colours that are finally showing up.
We have been making maple syrup for a couple weeks and are finally done. We got a couple…[Read more]
