Alas Mups, I no longer live close to conker trees.

I have some in a dish that I picked up in our local park last year.  Lovely things.

Granny, not wishing to be rude, but aren't you a little old to be playing conkers?

[Mups]

Those were the days when the singers and musicians actually had talent AND, wore clothes.

Very true, Raven.

What's with the "little"?  😬😉🤣

Perhaps I should have said 'too'.  After all, all grannies are old.

I knew one who was 33 years old.

When I was out with my friend on Thursday we had a sing a long in the car, it's amazing how you can remember all the words to the ' oldies' like the Tender Trap from 1955.  Gawd knows where those words came from, as we were only  about 6 when that came out !

Yes,  I agree.   
I remember things like that too,  but forget what I did half an hour ago.

You were singing "Memories, Light the corners of my mind"🎶

Oh be quiet, you.    Thought you felt a bit poorly today?   I think you should go and have a lie down . . . .    for the next couple of days at least.

Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering woman; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee.

Do have a nice day now Mups. Xx

I remember my mum singing  'Among my Souvenirs '
I must have been all of 5 years old.. 
We never think of our parents singing a love song.. I wonder who was on her mind at the time..!!

There's nothing left for me
Of days that used to be ...

I was told (old wives tale?) spiders don't like them, so I have some on a window ledge.  Playing indeed!

I heard the same about the spiders, Granny,  so I do the same as you.

How about Hula Hoops.    Did anyone have one of those?   I did.
