I remember when you first came to Opentopia. You said how bad your eyes were but you could still manage to do jigsaws. Then your sight got worse and jigsaws were out of the question. I love doing jigsaws and the thought of not being able to see well enough to do them ......... ...

That's so difficult. Sometimes I go to bed to remove myself from temptation. I think that's why they do early appointments ....... so you don't have to spend half the day hungry. It'll be a good job when it's all over.

Ps. I just looked at records written in French. In 2013 there were 281 inhabitants ........ 141 male and 140 female. Of that 281 ..... 9 of them were "foreigners," 4 male, 5 females. It even gives their age. The UK just lets people come in through the front door and illegally. I...

I have Sky News but they have also been doing extended news on some channels. I understand that there are still people missing. Just dreadful.

Hello Rain Shadow ..... it's very sad. As you say ..... knife crime is on the increase. In my day I went out in a skirt, shirt and jacket. Female officers didn't wear trousers. These days I see female officers all weighted down with stab jackets and other bits and pieces that I n...

M D, my thoughts are with you and your fellow countrymen in Manchester, after yesterday's horrific attack. I read recently that violent knife crime in Britain is currently the biggest problem and getting worse every year, not only in cities but also in towns and villages. But t...

We don't often get snipers here but all the rest you listed ....... I've been doing for years. You have to be vigilant. The only time I've not worried about locking the house doors was the village house in France. Only 297 people lived there. Neighbourhood watch was alive and ve...

I have to go back in a month for a full check up. That's enough to send my blood pressure up but I'll be drinking hibiscus tea from now until then. :D Last news says it's a suicide bomber. It's just so awful. Years ago we had the IRA bombers. That was bad enough. Makes we wonder...
