Well, maybe go out bit later in the day? Though days are getting shorter, it starts getting lighter again in a month\'s time!

A familiar feeling to many including myself -this need to get out and about - weather permitting - Just a thought though - - perhaps my post today may be of some help - I wrote of one way of seeing self differently - -have a peep at the verse called Understanding and let me know what you think - - - thanks for your honest posting.

A fine write RB. Ask a politician to blow up your tyres next time. They\'re always full of hot air, so it\'s said!

Well, the current PM goes to a church only 2 miles from me (when she\'s at home on Sundays, that is). We\'ll have to meet up over coffee after church and hob-nob, and discuss the state of the nation, she and I!

Playing on my bogie
Goldfinch60 said:
Yes I had them as well, back in the 1950\'s. So dangerous when thinking back but so much fun at the time - no health and safety then.

On Time

I too hate being late so I am normally early to most things, the only problem is that being punctual can be so lonely!

Erm, nor me really, not been there, though we have one in near our town centre. Ohh I always go to the 99p shops (do they exist now?). These £1 shops are far too expensive. heehee.

Ah ha - - I know what you mean my friend !! That central isle is a true magnet to all who enter the store. An engaging read as a good reminder to let the saved pennies stay intact.

Broken Coffee Maker
Goldfinch60 said:
Of course it is a big issue.
Saying that though we have tea in the morning, proper tea mind you, tea leaves into the pot, freshly boiled water, stirred, left for two minutes, milk into the cups (always milk first) and then the wonderful tea poured through a strainer. We have Rwanda/Burundi tea - it is wonderful.

Oxford
orchidee said:
Yes, a fine write. I tried climbing St Mary\'s Church Tower when in Oxford. Too scary. I never reached the top. Don\'t like heights, nor \'see through\' steps. Had to see the view on You Tube.

As I said yesterday I go to Oxford regularly to go to the Ashmolean Museum - I could quite happily live in that place.

Oxford
Fay Slimm. said:
Such a good summary of that means Oxford today and of course days of yore too. First rate rhyming keeps the Oxford scene even more in focus and thanks for the share in your memorable meal too. A most interesting read.

I go to Oxford fairly regularly now and I agree with what you have written, the contrast between lives over such short distances is amazing - in this day and age it need not be so.
