I think President Santos got his facts wrong when he warned us all that El Niño was coming and it would be hot and arid for nine months, it looks as if our second winter is coming as normal,Continue reading “Weather changing!”

Another Quiet Week
The weeks seem to go in dips and surges, there is not a lot to report this week, we called at the Opticians, I think the Optician herself has been trying to make it hard to get the money back, the Receptionist seemed surprised when she looked and the money was not ready for us,Continue reading “Another Quiet Week”

New Eyes!!
Another week bites the dust! I forgot to mention last week, that I had been to see the Optician, £6 for a test, and we think that is waived if you buy Specs, and I have. My eyesight has changed enough, possibly due to the change in my Blood Pressure medication, that the Optician thinksContinue reading “New Eyes!!”
