Looking back, I remember the time when I sang a duet with Cliff Richard. He was at Wembley Stadium, I was in the bath.
In America, and here in the U.K., why is everything someone else's fault?
Despite two fans, I am very unwell because of the temperature of 35 degrees C. Many English people are suffering and don't quite know what to do.
I went to see my old soprano choir today. They spoke very highly of me.
I believe I have suffered a T.I.A. The bonce is very tender and it is hard to talk any sense. No change there, you may say.
My 71st birthday is in two days time. Yesterday, I lost the use of my legs and have the shakes. My Mum doesn't know it is my birthday as she has lost her memory completely now. Happy birthday means nothing now.
If you don't like what we are doing, you may leave". He said this to us, the arrogant git. And now we can say it to him. Leave. Now.
I laughed at the TV series Victor Meldrew. At almost 71 years of age, I find myself not only just like him, I am 50 times worse. Add to that, I will be voting no more and don't believe 80% of what I read or see. I am bitter and angry and I am, in essence, waiting for God.
A water engineer said he was visiting between 9.00AM and 12.30PM. It is 12.37PM. I have locked the doors and disconnected the doorbell and am hiding.
To help with Great Britain's defence, I have a pointed stick and I am not afraid to use it.
It can only happen in the UK. The clocks have been put forward "For Summer". My heating came on at 4.00AM today and my internal clock has gone bananas. I will just get used to this total waste of time, then 'they' will tell me to put the blasted clocks back an hour again.
My life memories. I was friends with a man called Johnny. After being made redundant, he worked at Tescos UK gathering trolleys, never missing a day until he retired. He then set about an adventure to visit every Tesco store in the country and gather trolleys in each. Johnny was bonkers.
My three-monthly blood test to measure my HBA1C was a little late at almost a year. The nurse didn't like the look of me and so an emergency doctor was summoned. I then spent the next 30 minutes trying to explain I always looked like this, and was not having another stroke.
My Brazilian Lucky tree, bought as a piece of wood, has produced large leaves. We replanted them in compost, as we originally put them in water, but they didn't seem to be happy. I took some bark off, and added rooting compound. Roots are spouting and they seem happier now.
I dressed as a scarecrow and won an award. I was outstanding in my field. (I'm here all week).
Do you have a Postal Vote? There is a number on your voting letter. Same on the voting slips and same number appears on the return envelope. "Your vote is private and confidential". Actually, your votes are far from it. We are being treated like we have no brains.

My daughter, Carrie-Anne who was 9, was killed by a car on this day. My wife Sue told me because my memory was wiped from that day to today. I continue to be numb.
"I have come to collect what I am owed". "The piece of my heart I had to give you in order to move on".

It has been quite a few years since I had dealings with HMRC Tax department. I have received a very rude email from them, so they have had one straight back. I'll not be spoken to like that, email or not. Now you can stick your trying to get your tax demand out of a 70 year old.
I am now Microsoft free after all those years and thousands of pounds.
We have a new fish tank because I felt sorry for the fish swimming around in the old, small one.
To all the artists on Bluesky, thank you for your beautiful work. Have you thought to make your pictures larger, so people can purchase your work and have images on the desktop of your computer to look at every day?
The Aging Rock Star. And we're here at the venue, Looking forward to the night. Equipment all set, and sound-check taken "Early days", I said convincing myself, Dreaming of success and untold wealth, My hopes were burned, No-one turned up.
Mum is 92. she has been ill for a long time and her head has gone awfully awry. This morning, carers telephoned for an ambulance as she was calling for Dad, who sadly died 12 years ago. Any comment might help. x
Poem #1 for love I lost. I loved you then, I love you now, You loved me then, you did proclaim, Before you stood and broke my heart. Your promises gone, I begged and wept, Thrown yours away but mine, I kept. Think of me now, I know you won't, My love still stands, your love just don't. Me at 70
