Dear Family and Friends, It was a busy day, overcast with some drizzle. First to the health centre for Helen's wounds to be re-dressed. and PM to her dentist for a crown replacement. We eventually arrived home at 1600, in time for a welcome cup of tea. There was just time for the first episode of series 5 of Law and Order SVU. Now I have been able to find for you another melange of fun stuff for your amusement. Please enjoy!

Dear Family and Friends, Today started cool, but the sun soon came out and it warmed up. I walked to the beach and met an old friend for a chat. Home again, we did some housework. PM, we are now watching 'Bookish', which we are finding enjoyable, but there are only six episodes, although they are about to release series 2. Now for your funny bits!

Dear Family and Friends, After a spectacular downpour during the night, the day dawned with sun and clouds. I decided to not walk today but did my exercises instead. Later I ventured out to the filling station to fill the car. I noticed that the prices were really eyewatering! However, all we can do is moan about it, but we buy it anyway! Your ration of fun stuff comes hot and steaming from the depths of the Internet, where I managed to collect sufficient for tonight's blog. Please enjoy them!
