Another month, another film night. We showed The Good Lie, and I hesitate to say, starring Reese Witherspoon, as that’ll give you entirely the wrong impression as the film tells the story of four young Sudanese refugees and their life during and just after the Sudanese war (which started in
Here in the UK, it’s Easter Monday and another work-free day added to the Easter weekend, so I thought I’d have some fun! OK, there’s been a wee bit of a controversy lately in the British press with one of our revered actors (David Tennant & a once venerated Dr

Gosh, I’ve been feeling a bit stressed. I’ve been sleeping badly and my IBS has returned. It’s the move, which is going a bit wobbly. It could get resolved fairly soon, but at the moment I don’t know where we’ll be living, and we could cancel the whole thing.
Hello everyone It’s March and there’s a definite feel of Spring in the air in the UK. The days are getting lighter and the sun is reaching more and more of the garden. I won’t have a garden in my new abode. Well, there’s a communal one that I can
