  1. Oh what a circus!

    Wet and warm is quite ok with me. The heating is still on of course (Matt that’s what the thermostat is for) but a mild October/November sounds pleasing. The Halloween Trick or Treaters will be out in their swarms!

  2. Sweet Judy Blue Eyes

    Well let me just say that if we can all be as fabulous at 76 as Judy Collins then we’ll be doing well. Glamorous and adventurous! Sparky and wise! Hardworking and honey-voiced etc.

  8. Great Scott

    I know that by the time you read this you may well be heartily fed up with Back To The Future Day. But the truth is that I’m not. I loved that movie and how much fun can be had telling your kids about 1985? An awful lot is the answer.

  9. Scissors in the Bath

    Getting by. Thanks for your concern. A sniff here, a cough there, healthy eating everywhere. Plus (top recommendation) a bath with Ana Matronic...

  10. Naming It Twice

    I have taken it easy. You could hear that I was not healthiest specimen on Friday I believe. The odd sniffle here and there, the occasional sneeze too...
