It's been pouring with rain all day here. The type of rain that floods the yard and street. The kind of rain that saturates shoes within minutes. I didn't even get to the bus stop with dry feet. So that was it for me. I refuse to spend the day with wet cold feet. That … Continue reading Blinded by Rainbows

Octo 31st, 2021
Happy Halloween, if that's your thing. It's not so much mine. Some of my kids do enjoy the Halloween thing. I used to celebrate All Hallow's Eve once upon a time, with a big family dinner and places set for those we've lost (in Wiccan fashion). Now I don't have a table we all fit … Continue reading Octo 31st, 2021

You probably know that 'Fingerprint File' is a Rolling Stones song, right? And that it was on the 1974 album It's Only Rock and Roll. It's one of my least favourite songs from that album but I like the lyrics. They work for me today, so, there ya go. Today is another day of mistaken … Continue reading Fingerprint File
Once again it’s July 3rd

It doesn't bother me as much as it used to, that's the time thing. It does heal or minimise, but I never forget. The sound of his laugh and the … Continue reading Once again it’s July 3rd
