Miss you
The question burning is Lunar Jim, does that give my age away if I ask who is he?!
jenny
Regarding Lunar Jim, could you maybe not watch? That would relieve the stress!!! ha ha ha
Enjoyed your 100 items of yourself. I would be lucky to think of 10. Retirement is so lazy!!!!
Keep up the good work. I do enjoy reading both of your blogs.
Mean Jean
Love the one about reading Shakespeare in a garden.
I knew most of the list of you. I really was listening, and didn't forget. I don't know how you eat garlic sandwiches though, do they actually taste good?
