Unfortunately so! It's called GETTING OLDER

I love porridge but only like it plain, with a tiny bit of honey or dark brown sugar.

I also add a small knob of butter to hot porridge. Do you do that?

May have done that once or twice
Will do it next time I use my new pack of Traditional Quaker oats

I spent about 3 hours rearranging my 16.5' x ? 9 ' wide kitchen till just after midnight last night
Started when I very suddenly decided to move the mahogany coloured wooden table
>>>>>> out to the sun room / conservatory etc etc

Do you make quite big changes - in your kitchen
or other rooms - from time to time ?

No, my kitchen is minute and the other rooms so small that the only places the furniture can go are where they are already. I like it small. It's cute

I do however every now and then move the ornaments....ok, the OWLS about to different homes within the cottage. And I turn out the larder and cupboards sometimes and have a tidy up. Recently I tidied the airing cupboard and found duvet covers I had forgotten I had. Do you find things in the house you forgot about having?

I dread to think who i've locked away...i mean, what's locked away in my basement.

(I haven't even got a basement).

If you could lock someone away in your basement for a day and do with them whatever you like, who would it be.

Ian Duncan Smith. I have the boiling oil ready, the red hot pokers, the rack, the iron maiden and the thumbscrews. Oh yes....and the flaying knife

*cackles*

Do you have evil tendencies folks would never suspect?

I really don't want to know about your Ian Duncan Smith sexual fantasies.

Yes, I have many hidden evil tendencies.

Name an (another) evil tendency you have.

That's for me to know and you to wonder about

How could you say IDS and sexual in the same sentence?

I wouldn't

I sometime get when I am driving and need to be somewhere on time
Such as when some people dawdle and then they are soooooo slow
when we eventually get a brief turning arrow at a large junction
So only about 5 cars manage to get through

how about some of your annoyances ?

Have you ever experienced a " sugar rush " ?
I don't think eating sugar has ever made me feel any different
What does it feel like ??

In recent times I had one, as since new year I more or less cut sugar right out of my diet with only occasional very small amounts.............until I went out with son, DIL and her parents for dinner in the pub and I had a whopping slice of treacle tart! Afterwards I felt very weird for a couple of hours....a total sugar rush. It wasn't particularly nice. I've avoided eating that much sugar since

What is the last DVD you watched?

It was one DVD From a Set of an American Fitness woman called
Slimin6 / weeks
Bought it about 2 months ago and watched it one night - Not long before my laptop stopped working on 18th January

Since then the repair shop still has that DVD - as he forgot to put it back
before I collected it 2 weeks ago on that Thursday
I had only followed what she was doing for 20 minutes on - one night

What did you last watch ?
&
Do you do a bit of that sort of exercise sometimes ?

I watched Muse's Drones and yes I have done exercises to dvd's in the past. Were you a nice child or a little 'orrer?

I own no exercise DVDs...last watched an episode of Vikings season 3 ...................just now

Do you own any vintage 50s or earlier clothing?

No vintage clothing from the 50's or earlier
Unless the beautiful bejewelled evening top my friend's mother gave me was from that era

I was a lovely polite well behaved child
but was on the shy & quiet side with most grown ups

And you ?

Hoping Nate & family are having a fabulous time on their visit to Swindon
🍻💑🍴🙋🎂🎵☕

Ooh, I forgot about their trip! Yes, have fun Nate and Epona

I was naughty and got punished regularly. I knew very well how to behave but often chose not to. My parents expected me to be seen and not heard....it was often the other way about

Did your science teacher ever make sherbert during class?

No

Do you think the press has focused to much on Beth Tweedle accident considering it was only caused by a dull reality show

No to the sherbert
No heard too much about this girl recently apart from her needing surgery due to her back injury and having to pull out from the show
Along with a few ? Others

I didn't mention Epona as poor Nate got a bit when I mentioned her name not too long ago

We had ** constant bright sunshine **' till about 4pm
But feels distinctly chilly now

Are you rugged up and keeping warm ?

The fire is lit and I have my trusty Lidl fleece to hand.

Nate has forgotten Epona came in here and updated us when he was in orsepital that time......

I don't watch any reality shows....do you?

I do watch most of the main reality shows

Yes I recall Epona's first visits here - being very worried
during Nate's time in the ho-spittle
and you knew of the horse connection to her name

I can only guess what went through his mind 💓😵😱
when I suddenly mentioned her name on here - many months later 😵
Till you explained it to him - luckily that was fairly soon afterwards

Would you say you thoroughly enjoy your main meal 🍳🍛🍞 of the day ?

Usually, yes I do!

Epona, the Goddess of horses!

How often do you watch the news?

Nightly at early evening, but sometimes just for the headlines.

Would you agree that all TV detective series are, to a greater or lesser degree, fantasies?

All drama series are fantasies, they may contain fact, but obviously someone made 'em up!

Is a rapist worse than a murderer?

Both horrendous but For any victim - the murderer would be the worst

What do you think ?

It's very hard to judge, since the rapist will have done mental and physical damage that will last for the rest of the victim's life, whereas the murderer has taken a life but not destroyed years of that person's life.

I have five layers on upper body and thick leggings with jeans over them indoors! Is it freezing at yours as well?

I totally agree with your more detailed reply

PS ( Hi Twassy - I am curious now :☺
what are your 🏡 approximate room measurements that you like
and have described as ** cute ** ? )
& it is great using this Kindle most if the time lately
as there are lots of Fun Smilies to use
Pity there are no rollyeyes

Very very bright & sunny here again today - but the air feels icy cold
I am Wearing my wrist warmers and fluffy cream scarf as usual as well as lots of
Fleecy clothing
& covered by a super sized super soft n fluffy * Berkshire * Turquoise blankie
Thick Socks n shin high Choccy brown Ugg boots
& 2 hottie bottles behind me

Can hear my Rosie 🐕 snoring & Jeremy Kyle talking with his very bereaved sad guest
& my very large boy - Tiggy Tiger is cozy on my lap purrrring as he is making his cute suckling noises while he is busily pawing at the soft blankie 🐾 ⭐ 💑⭐ 🐾

What can you hear ?

Birdies singing and nothing else

I actually have no idea of the dimensions of the cottage............save to say, in my living room you can fit a two seater sofa and one armchair, a small bookcase, and a carved wooden TV stand and DVD container with the tellybox on it. A tiny coffee table about 20 inches square and that is all there is in it. Gives you an idea

I have a wicker basket on the stairs full of things I found at the beach.....driftwood, pebbles and hagstones. Do you know what a hagstone is?
