:-)

It wasn't shown here (well, I could have gone to bar in town but 9am is a bit early for me!) and I was quite relieved, given how it ended.

Following Brexit in great detail. The Embassy keeps having little events in which they reassure us that it will all be fine as long as we have registered here - and I'm assuming that I'm fine as far as that goes.

It's been fascinating watching the direct broadcasts of Democracy in action :roll: Slightly more seriously, it must very worrying for a lot of people. I can't see that an election is going to help in any way at all.

The samaritans do a good job but there is a big need for more volunteers with better training ie whether we remain or leave Brexit ?? :roll:

Me and a fast car!!....
little red sports car...driving along lifes highway...wind in my grey hair...30 miles an hour so as not to go over
the speed limit...taking time to stop for afternoon tea and cake at the over 60's club...does life get any better!

If Rick Stein can do it in his old porche then the world is my oyster...actually he did mussells and fish pie
looked fab.

Doing ok now thanks. Living in Cyprus doing nothing, told to take it easy so thought I would dabble in genealogy again.

The hours we spent at the archives it's a wonder we got anything done. Don't need to do the polish on radiators trick now, we don't have any.
