so wonderful! may God bless Mom & Baby today! & here's to the rest of the family presented with another loving life. may the new one live to be 100!

Like lots of adults, my brother was working too hard and too many hours to spend lots of time with his children. He is thoroughly enjoying looking after his first two grandchildren, and looking forward to the third. They know it will be a boy.

I think I may have just made it up.

I guessed that really.

There is a surprisingly common belief that repeatedly sounding your horn in a blocked road will magically unblock it. It's particularly evident in the road outside.

Hong Kong taxi drivers have been doing that for years.

A sort of progress has been made in reducing the volume of paperwork. I have concentrated on the fat files, and thought I was doing well.

Then I found six more files that need editting.

In between doing the above, I have been sorting buttons. I have a very dark navy jacket that needs some better buttons. When I find a suitable dark blue button, the jacket changes colour to black. Black buttons have the reverse effect. Found some that are a good colour "match" but only two of them and I need four.

Another fleece with buttons, is pink, but I have an inkling to put four buttons of different colours (but same size and shape) on the fleece.

I have lots of buttons, some very old from elderly aunties sewing cabinets. As far as possible, I try to put similar colour together. If you need any buttons, please specify the size, colour, shiny matt, etc. I can guarantee that what ever buttons you need, I will only be able to find one less button than the number you need.

I have made a tentative start to editing the filing cabinet. Lots of very files look like they need to go on a diet. Plus "old" brochures etc.

In doing so, I found my old (aka antique) school reports. One report (at the age of eight years) is rather strange.

For the classes in the morning my spelling, grammar, and pronunciation is described as "very good". However in the afternoon those same skills are described as "poor or even very poor". I assume that I was not asleep, so who can suggest a good reason for the difference in the skills levels between morning and afternoon classes?

Indigestion !

I've been and had my rooster booster. I got given the fizzy one, which is now apparently a communist one.

Was the only person in there this afternoon. The nurse practitioner who jabbed me was chuffed with the box of fudge. She said that because it was a gift, the contents had no calories.

Anyways, am sat down with a and a couple of shortbread fingers.

Well done!

It was at a school in India. The lessons in the morning were in English, and in the afternoon, in Hindi!

Wanted to get in a last of 2021 100km ride. It was biblical rain and strong winds. I was tempted to cut for home and cut it short to 75km. But keep at it, and got it done. Never has a hot shower felt so good.

On the ride a Santa postbox

Yay!

And in that case, a totally different alphabet as well. And I thought the Cyrillic alphabet was a pain...
