A tango, a quickstep, they sailed across the floor
Ladies choice? Beryl was keen to dance some more 
They whizzed round the floor at a good pace
With both of them having a smile on their face

Getting nearer to 2026.  Hope you're ok Phil. 

That was lovely Mups.  

I ventured into the charity shop today, did a bit of sorting, washed the mugs, cleaned the sink etc. Nothing too taxing, but every little helps!  Nice to see my colleagues again.  

Beryl was a wallflower waiting for a dance
Percy looked her way.Was she in with a chance !
She painted more gloss on her lips
Winked, then wiggled her hips
At last, some signs of romance!

Bed ... waiting to be tested.. 💤

Not mushy at all Mups.. Someone  you have cheered up during her sad times... Well done you..

There is so much hatred and violence in todays world,  in the news every single day, and in every newspaper you pick up.   
I tend to switch off I'm afraid,  I don't like all this hate.   

So today, when I received this text message,  from a gentle, kind lady I used to do Yoga with, I was quite touched at the simple but lovely words.
Some will probably think it too syrupy,  but I liked it very much.
Here goes:


"We are in the last month of the year.   
I felt I should thank everyone who made me smile this year . . . .  You are one of them,  so here is a big Thank you."   
And there was a little picture underneath of some beautiful roses.

Mushy that may sound,  but I think it is so nice to know you have made at least one person smile, especially as she lost her beloved husband this year too.     

Long distance snowball fights?

You'll have to send us a picture of your Snowman.
