Especially if the person you shared “the day when…” with is not present. More experience brings such a choice of “…days when…” Including all the funny days; … More The Day When
An email today told me of the banning of some of the music of Tchaikovsky in a certain place. Looking on the internet shows no sympathy for this. On the contrary:- the decision is ridiculed and called out as being “not the way” and hardly appropriate. I am not going to be positive about any … More “My Music”
I, Ronnie Follows, say: It’s today and I am NOT going to say it. I am not joining in. It isn’t an appropriate name (hereabouts). I grant you that it may have some value as a Named Day elsewhere, but here, it is meaningless. It started to be used a few years ago. It was … More A Day’s Round (again)

Children dreading the Monday coming; workers not wanting to think about the return to ungrateful and short-sighted managers, and so on. You know, Sunday. Just now I was drawing the curtains. It’s late of course, and it is summer. It has … More On a Sunday?
Ah yes I m enjoying the telly yet again. My life these days seems only to involve visits to medical places and the telly. But I am worried. There is (at last count) nothing wrong with my ears – but I can’t tell now are people mumbling? eating sandwiches? chewing gum? Here is a selection … More in the newf or tidingth
