funeral celebration
Which sounds like a contradiction, but really isn't. There were 9 of us there on Friday, including 3 from the home and it all went a bit quicker than I anticipated and we were done in about 20 mins. Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, I Vow to Thee My Country, Rudyard Kipling's If-, Sailing By (R4 Shipping Forecast) and RAF March Past. And I wittered on ( Read more... ) -
Update
Update to say (for those friends not on Facebook) that 5 years after diagnosis, 4 years after my mother's death and 18 months after going into the British Legion home, my father has passed away (at 95). He had a cold in early December that developed sufficiently to require anti-biotics and he never recovered. We made the decision for him not to be ( Read more... ) -
EasterCon
Having failed to do anything positive about getting any work, I have finally pulled my finger out and booked a room for EasterCon. Got into the Renaissance at a decent pay-up-front price of £60pn, so hope nothing dramatic happens before then. Planning on Friday - Monday, thought probably leaving early on the Monday. :) -
Advantages of LJ
Although it seems to take forever (usually) for me to compose an LJ post - perhaps simply because I do post infrequently and Fb seems to encourage more frequent, frivolous posting - I do like the fact that LJ e-mails me when people respond. Fb I have to log in and look. Though I suppose that they expect people to keep a window open on their ( Read more... ) -
*waves*
Just to say, that I've not been on LJ at all recently. I seem only to be able to cope with regular dipping into one such media and for the moment it's Facebook, where a lot of the various sectors of my life seem to intersect. We'll see how this goes in the future as I really need to organise my life a lot better and figuring out where and when I ( Read more... ) -

RAF photos
The Legion home have asked us if we have photos of Father in uniform for their Remembrance Sunday display. We have a large number of photos, but not that many with my father in them. I've loaded the best of them to Flickr and now I have to sort out printing some decent large-sized copies. They should all come out reasonable quality at A5, but my ( Read more... ) -
Facebook
I set up a page. I'm not sure I'll use it that much but it's amusing browsing the people it thinks I should friend. Some old aquaintances, but the ones I wanted to find? Nope. Anyone who wants to add me there, feel free. -
41 years later
41 years ago, I started at school in Wells. 5 years later we moved into the city and ever since then, wherever I've lived (never far away in any case), I've been in Wells every week or two at the very least to visit my parents or check on their house if they were away. For 2 and a half of the last 3 years, I lived there again, looking after my ( Read more... )
