Gotta admit, I have cancelled two appointments by phone this morning. 1, This Friday, for Diabetic retinopathy, (would have to go by bus and not happy about that). 2, Next Friday at Uckfield hospital for Diabetic check up (m.o.t.), changed that one to telephone appointment. After last nights bulletin from Uncle Boris, doing as I'm told and staying at home. They were very understanding when I rang, explaining that like others, I'm running scared, with this sudden increase in the South East. They just keep adding another tier on each time the graph spikes. How long before the

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!! Mary1947. Have a great day, especially if you're up to running upstairs to dance on your bungalow roof.

I seed that one coming.

That's enough of your corn. You'll soon be scratching around for more quips. Hope PP., doesn't get any ideas.

But what happens if you DON'T own an iPad? Mine is a Galaxy tab8. Can't afford the luxury of an iPad.

My dad's name was Cyril, but everybody knew him as Sid. Used to know a girl who's name were Sydney.

I agree with Mary, put the school leaving age up......to 27.

Of course Loppy, it goes without saying. Using the three dots only gives you an edit option on your own post, and that for a limited time. Then becomes like everyone else's, just 'report or share'.

I know Phil. But they won't let me go any further ! Still need a visa to cross the Dartford tunnel.

Rather fancy the idea of showing my passport at Hadrian's wall and getting it stamped at Mallaig.

Ahh Craig Douglas Ben., Another one of his was "Teenager in love" also "only sixteen". Once heard Marty Wilde sing teenager in love, he must have been about 46 at the time He had daughter Kim by then.

Read it before CT. Did the same as you and went west to east. What do you suppose caused that? I blame Brexit.

Thank you Col. Very much appreciated.

Wish I could "like" twice PP.

Thanks for chapter two Loppy. But it's the first time I've ever had to scroll sideways to read it. Were you typing on a toilet roll sideways. Still, managed to read it OK. Must say, I'm a wee bit envious as I would have loved to travel. Considered it when we first got married in '65, but when the kids came along that put the brakes on that. Because they were both disabled, we wouldn't have been allowed and if we were, I would have been bankrupt within a year ! By the time they both passed away, (1978 &1990) it was too late for us. I was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic mid 80s s

How is it you get such good shots? Use of telephoto/zoom lens. Whenever I try, I just get a bright burned out image that not even worth enlarging. B.

Jill, I'm an endangered species. I'm the only one left of four.

Another one !! How can you respond so quick? Another one hiding next door.

Loppy, while I can read your posts and from others like you, it's gonna be a great year ! Don't forget, I want the next chapter. I'll even purchase a can of dog food.

I look forward to the next chapter of your interesting story. LL.

Not relevant I know but I recall reading that in the mid 60s, if you emigrated to Australia, you were immediately eligible to be called up for duty in Vietnam. (Australians were also fighting there with the yanks).

One time, we had a dog and cat at the same time. I was watching the pair of buggers one day and the cat jumped on the sideboard, onto the top of the fish tank and knocked off the tin of fish food. The dog then proceeded to take off the lid so that they both could share the contents. I would have given a Kings ransom for a digital camera then.

This one especially for Ben and Jill...Happy New Year.

COMPO, if you're on here at all, check your emails.

Glad to hear it CF. Hope all of you have a healthy New Year. B.
