Month: May 2019

It is always pleasant to see an historical car and this was spotted when I was standing by the bus stop in the middle of Midsomer Norton. After a very pleasant breakfast at Wetherspoon's, off on a bus to Bath to a meeting in a Congregational Church Hall on the topic of 5G. The meeting was limited to half a dozen of us who suffered in varying degrees from electro-sensitivity. Some of us display...

Sometimes, the weather conditions are perfect. A light breeze, the sun is shining on the clouds causing a wonderful three-dimensional effect, and life seems good. It is difficult to be in a bad mood with such weather. I was on my way to see my physiotherapist, who is much more than the name implies.

Our goldfish love the sun and they gather together either sunbathing or swimming around fast.

Up early at seven o'clock to drive to Frome for a breakfast and preparation for a large Christian men's event run by Men United. The  Cheese and Grain is a large working community with a restaurant and Hall that is used for a variety of events mainly musical.
