A day off? You must be joking

Us Geminis never take time off... even when we're asleep. Awake > coffee > off we go > eat > more  of the same> TV >  bedtime.   I love ideas. If I could have them for breakfast I would. I can never have too many though I admit I do need time for digestion. A 'day off'.  It is so often the same. The day starts with nothing in the diary and then before you know where you are...

Farewell Brian Wilson + NHS new app.

Come on all, lets have a good sing The link is the title. When I was young The Beach Boys certainly gave me a lift when I felt down and they are part of my culture. I know all the songs as clearly as if they were written yesterday and they are for some reason engraved on me. Not much to say today except from my health which I'm sure you're all interested in.

We went around the Somerset levels today and saw considerable amounts of work that had been done to improve the accessibility of the more ancient areas by putting down what must be tons of wood chip and clearing the ditches.

Why keep a diary +Tuckers Grave Cider Inn

As we grow and gain more experience we can see things from a different point of view so although I have written  about this topic before, it popped into my mind - as things do - to revisit it and see what if anything new comes along. I should add that before writing stuff I don't know what I'm going to write, it's not like keeping to a script. It's more like unrolling a carpet. What I'm about to...
