Have only recently returned to blogging after quite a long absence. Found your request to become your friend-gladly accepted.Decided while I was online to check out recent Blogs from you,Pootai and all the others I'd taken an interest in.

I think retiring from something we enjoy is always sad.
Thanks for your comment - Whisky and I have reached what can only be called 'an accomodation' as to who is boss! and I have submitted gracefully; she can be quite friendly and I have to let her always make the first move! She bit me quite hard last week and I needed antibiotics - but it more…

I'm the other way around. Every day I take a carrier bag and walk around the house looking for rubbish and small things I could do without. Bit by bit every day it makes a difference and it's not such a shock. I have found recycling bins in supermarkets very good, now they do ones for linen , shoes , books clothes etc.
I haven't missed anyth more…

Enjoyed reading your blog about clutter - makes me feel better to know ours isn't the only household like this!. My problem is that while I find it quite easy to get rid of anything and everything I'm married to a hoarder and it drives me insane.After my mother in law died my husband insisted on keeping almost everything from her house and added to more…

Oh I do so identify with you on the clutter; this bungalow and, particularly the garage, mirror your description in many ways tho' the detail is different and most of it - in the house at least- is in cupboards, so it's |Ok till you open the door!

Thanks for asking me to be a 'blog'friend. It is 3am and I am blogging!! Your comment about the 'prison' makes total sense to me although in an entirely diffent context - but we are both blogging, I think, as a way out through a prison window.
I have now finished my 'Grief' blog and have started another one - 'begining again' - except I'm not more…
