Paddington bear creator Michael Bond dies at 91 It was a last-minute Christmas gift for his wife that inspired Michael Bond to create Paddington bear, the marmalade-loving teddy in a duffel coat and floppy hat. Bond would go on to see his creation enchant children for more than half a century and become an icon…
Have you been there today and tried it? Google's main page. It would have been Oskar Fischinger's birthday and, if you click on it, you can make up your own tunes, with harmony, different instruments etc. I'm going to have a fun day :D
I imagine Sticky will know who I'm talking about, one of the famous commentators for cricket on the radio. I remember my 1st husband taught me the best way to watch cricket at home was with the sound turned down on the TV and the radio on. Blowers was my favourite, with his "dear old thing", talk of the ball "bobbling"…
The polictics of late have been, well....we live in interesting times! Talk about the night of the long knives, more like a bunch of wildcats circling their prey. I believe we have been let down by the politicians, but it seems like there is a lot of bloodletting to do before the end, even with Brexit talks approaching…

I am putting up this thread despite still not knowing what to write on it. What can one write? What can one say? It should not have happened. It almost certainly need not have happened.

Think we've all heard the saying "horses sweat, men perspire, ladies glisten (or glow)"? Well, today I've been 110% glowing! And it's been anything but ladylike unfortunately. The office was like a sweat box and it was so hot I all but passed out at lunch time. So, me being me, I had an early lunch break, ate my food, had…
I'm pleased to be able to say that I am managing to maintain my weight loss. I regularly weigh-in, although I've changed to a morning group as the post-op swelling from my TKR is still very bad at the end of the day, so weighing in earlier in the day gives a more accurate reading in my view. I no longer see my way of…
Just to say it's Carer's Week this week. Having been a carer myself (as well as being a "cared-for person") I know only too well what a huge strain it is to look after a loved one (or loved ones). Carers do a fabulous job and without such wonderful people doing this there'd be a lot of individuals in this country…
