Thank you for sharing the wonderful creative and for feeling confident/comfortable enough to share the photo which must be tinged with both happy and slightly sad memories. You've had some tough times so it speaks volumes abut your generosity of spirit, your love that you still share your art, thoughts, memories and videos despite trolls and other obstacles. Peace be with you.
Thank you very much for your lovely words Ian.
Good fbg after all the stress lately and excellent news that your tests can be done close to home in future.
Lovely wee pic .
Another winner there.
Japanese hippies?
Just splendid fusion of tones and hues.
I know quite a few of my kith and kin, friends, colleagues and acquaintances would really like that job for a day or what is known as a binge.Here are some extracts from longer poems which I have found very useful over the years. They have been very useful to me this week but in the spirit of you do you I accept your reaction may be to ask me to go forth and multiply. I hope the link works for you should you wish to read/listen to them. The little essays in the anthology are, imho, excellent but I'm biased as the author is a fellow of a Cambridge college. His videos suggest he may have rather enjoyed the surroundings and social side of Girton College life both as a student, chaplain and fellow - and why not (see attached)? I've dined there but not had the pleasure of trying their cellar.

Here's a potential job opportunity. Would possibly suit an honest, blunt speaking person with exquisite taste from humble northern stock as part of our inclusivity team

I'm a little bit luckier with my arthritis, mine is in my hands and neck, though the cold makes it painful and I have to keep moving and exercising as well as my chores.Not only does diabetes require a bit of mental acrobatics to manage it, but so, it seems, does arthritis. At least, I think this afternoon's event was arthritis related. Em and Neil were in the kitchen and I had gone into the hall, looking for title deeds for the house Alistair lives in when suddenly first one, then the other leg developed really severe pain in the side of my knees. I almost fell as they both threatened to stop holding me up. I was stuck, unable to move so had to call for help. Neil came to hold me up and Em brought my zimmer frame (I had been using sticks due to reduced space with all the stuff waiting to go out into the container). Between them they nursed me back to my chair in the kitchen. I was lucky not to be on my own. If I had been, I would have fallen and would just have had to stay there until someone came in to pick me up. Really made me feel vulnerable. If I had fallen there was a lot of stuff there to do me some damage if I had gone down. All's well that ends well - the pain has subsided and I can stand up under my own steam again. Gives one to think though.
Thank you @Lamont D. In my case it's from top to bottom - neck. shoulders. arms. hands, hips, back, knees and ankles. I spend a lot of time sitting down, but have to keep getting up and doing little jobs around the house. Better than sitting still all the time. Excess weight doesn't help. Never thought I would get to this stage but who knows where this is going? It could be worse ... and probably will be. Just grateful that so far, it isn't.
you would think, that because we have been diagnosed with arthritis and the cold and damp affects it so much.

Fbg 6.6 I have a few strategies in place for the trolls. We'll see how I get on with that... Advice yesterday was to stop all comments. A sensible idea and immediately stress free, but I don't want to do that, not yet anyway. The trolls hide behind privacy on their accounts, often with no...
