I don't do posh.. not my thing..
A lovely room with balcony overlooking the promenade .. people watching..
A nice stroll along the seafront.. Pop into local charity shops...
  That is all I need.. I have had my days of jetting off to far flung places...

Been to the opticians with OH.  Yes! He can still drive. It was worth the money ££££  

Quote from: Michael Rolls on January 22, 2026, 09:00:03 AMI have the same problem - my hearing is poor in normal conversation - on the phone it is often awful

I know what you mean,  my hearing is getting worse too.   Got to go back to Audiology near the end of the month.

I found the worst time was when everyone was wearing masks,  and that, coupled with a strong foreign accent I found almost impossible to understand.

Good morning all.   Yet another grey, wet day here.

I must go read the Gas/Electric meters for my bill, in a mo,  then a couple of important phone calls to make.

My Ocado order has also just come, so I best go and start unpacking that first - after I've had another cuppa. 

It's a tie today,  Scrumps.

If i'm not in a rush to do anything, I often keep the caller chatting by asking as many questions as I can.  I usually begin with sensible questions but, as time goes on, they become slightly more outlandish.
I believe that I am doing other recipients a big favour in occupying the scammers for as long as possible.

No rain today...

Klondike.. Painful.. You are very brave to keep upright..
 GrannyMac... Well done.. 20mins younger !! every minute counts...

'Hello.. You have won the Omaze prize draw'
'Hello.. you can confirm your win on the lottery'

I bet you would hear those words with little problem..

I too get calls from people who speak in foreign tongue..
I just don't respond...
