    Still coughing. At my age, that is a good sign...to cough means I am still breathing!

    Lakeland sell a set of shopping bags, £20 & you get 5 bags (small to large) & I am genuinely excited by this, they fold up & you can leave them in the car!

    This morning I put on a new pair of socks and I heard myself say admiringly "Oh yes, very nice."
    They were plain blue.
    I mean, seriously... HOW DID I GET LIKE THIS??

    Putting something at the top of the stairs to take down when you go, when it's time to go down you walk down 5 or 6 stairs & turn round to pick it up just to save bending down.

    Unashamed mention again of Muriel Young, just fleetingly seen on Talking Pictures - I'm All Right Jack.

    Absolutely gorgeous, and with the added bonus of the stunning Liz Fraser ....
