A Gentleman Calls at 'Home Thoughts Weekly'



Sorry, but I'm still not sick of this... even if you are! Normal service will be resumed when I've got a bit of thinking space.

Oooh you're directing is getting very slick Chris!

I'm not getting sick of it I'm afraid. I keep going back and playing about as it's just too much fun.

Enjoy that coastal walk!

Lane, Thank you, Maestro. Hmm, I was afraid you'd say that, but it's keeping me sane at the moment.

I will. Hehe!

Gosh - we are getting good - aren't we? That's terrific. I can see I shall have to have another go, but I have such a HUGE pile of ironing and I have to do the VAT and the wages.

Anything that helps with sanity wins in my book! keep going Chris (and you're welcome here anytime but don't forget about the reality behind the pictures!) x

I did one yesterday and it was hopeless, so I think I'll forget any thoughts of being a director for now!

That looks like a lot of fun, Chris. Am very tempted, but it looks as though it could be addictive. Love your wardrobe.

Oh Chris, I just love these - keep them coming, they are so funny. Like Lane, I keep going back and re-playing them. Can't wait to hear about the coastal walk!!

Rosie, I loved your film - you are one tough director!

Cait, you know, if you keep saying that it will only make me do it again!

Pip, good. Sanity a bit thin on the ground at the mo - and I love the pictures!

LBD - go on, just think what you could do with WWFMTDTWW!

Cottage Garden, you know I really should quit whilst the going is good-ish!

Heading for the Rocks

Blue Nun and the rocks! Aaaah! The joy of having a boat again! Blue Nun’s so much more responsive than our wooden boat, lovely as she was, and so nippy too! We enjoy a brisk sail from Neyland to Dale where we spend a couple of restful days, reading, writing and generally watching the world go by. On the third morning we decide on a change of scenery and potter round to a sheltered bay where we can pick up a mooring buoy. Well, we would have, if I’d been quicker. Now, I’m pretty good at picking up buoys, but make a right dog’s dinner of it this time. ‘Never mind,’ says Tom, ‘we’ll give it another go!’ He puts the engine in reverse and Blue Nun obediently travels backwards (something no previous boat of ours has ever done!) … and a rope which trails the dingy behind the boat whirls round the propeller. Yikes! Tom manages to free enough to regain control of the engine, but he’s pretty sure that some of the rope is still tangled up. Whilst I would quite like to preten...

A Winter's Tale

Thursday 2 December Feeling confined in her snow-muffled flat, Ma takes a walk up her front path to take the morning air. As she returns a cat jumps over the wall and startles her. She slips on the icy path and lands heavily on her shoulder. When her injury doesn’t spontaneously heal, she eventually gives in and calls her local GP surgery. In the evening a GP visits and summons an ambulance ‘sooner rather than later’. Around 10.30 pm Ma is admitted to her local hospital. X-rays suggest she has a fractured scapula which will require emergency surgery. She is put on a nil by mouth regime that night and transferred to a larger hospital for an emergency operation. However, she’s picked a busy period for her accident so the operation doesn’t take place. Saturday 4 December The operation is rescheduled for this morning, so Ma’s had a second night of nil by mouth. A CT scan shows that Ma’s humerus is broken in four places. Despite her obviously smashed-up arm, which is in a sling and...

Forever Young

Looking at the blurb for my new Lacura WrinkleStop from Aldi, I see that its active ingredient has been ‘proven to help • Reduce forehead wrinkles by 52% • Reduce crow’s feet by 24% • Restrict 82% of wrinkle muscle activity’ That’s quite a claim, isn’t it? Frankly, after years when my face looked like a lunar landscape thanks to the joys of acne, these days I’m just grateful to see a fairly blemish-free skin. Part of me wants to believe that the wonder cream’s making everything looking a bit smoother and tidier, but, hey, there’s also a lot of ‘aqua’ and ‘glycerin’ in the stuff, too. Besides, I could tamper with my skin as much as I like (and I don’t), but I’ve only got to stand next to my beautiful daughters to see the difference. Ma has wonderful skin, so the chances are there are some helpful genes in the mix, but my dad died far too young of cancer, so it’s not all good news. My dad was a carpenter. ‘You can’t get age from a tin, Miss Chris,’ he’d say when rubbing his hands o...
