    Clari......my dreams are probably more important to me than real life sometimes.....I can recall and recite , verbatim, what conversations goes on in them .....my wife , yep the one who studied psychology, is now enthralled by some of the stuff I can just roll out ......mine thankfully tend to be more of the flying variety ......but also frustration when I just cannot step onto a step ......I can lift my foot but just can't make it image

    Evening all. 

    Home now. I even managed to pop the van onto the drive and have a cuppa with Hubby before my last drop at one of our neighbours. She's a teacher and I had 45 minutes to kill.  I was still early , She's happy , hubby's happy ,I'm happy as I got a cuppa, and  Waitrose were happy I was back early.

    Devon.

    Dacha ... I know it's frustrating, but you need to keep your foot up until it stops being so sore! imageimage

    I'll rest on the sofa with you 'cos my back really feels the lawnmowing I did this morning image

    Hosta that's good planning image

    Liri ... if you want some more raspberries come and help yourself ... we just can't keep up with them ... 

    Now it's time for Coast to do the wonderful East Anglian coastline image

    See original post

     I think your wife would be concerned as to the company you keep if she knew of my dreams.

    Something similar happens with supermarket own brand foods. You buy it once or twice - nice. You buy it again and it's horrible at worst, bland at best.

    The supermarket has said, " How can we make it cheaper without anyone noticing?"

    The answer is - you can't. There's only so many olives you can take out of the jar.

    In London. Keen but lazy.
