A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.
A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.
The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

Like many of you, I’m listening to Trump live.
Americans must be so embarrassed at the moment that this is their ‘leader’

Just walked through Chesham to its market.
I counted 18 closed or closing shops along the wee stretch of high street
Such a shame. Can’t help but think it’s related to the pedestrianisation. Nearby Amersham doesn’t seem to have any issue filling its shops.

My youngest has just come home with a buzz cut.
My baby’s not a baby anymore - he looks so much older.
This 15 years have gone in a flash

I’ve ordered a lot of wool (and a pattern) to crochet myself a blanket
There’s two problems, though
- I haven’t done any crocheting for nigh on 25 years
- I’m left handed and the pattern describes how to do each stitch as a right handed would
I haven’t the foggiest how to do this!

My husband talks of being called “a pushy young man” by Ronald Dahl when, as a teen, he jumped in front of Mr Dahl at a local petrol station
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Bumped (literally) into Noel Gallagher in our local Tesco once. It then made sense why people were acting weird. He’s shorter than me.
And Camilla Cabello was in our local pub with Shawn Mendes early 2020 - tucked into the snug.

As someone with a dairy intolerance and a very recently removed gallbladder, I’m eating way too much Christmas cheese
And port
And grapes
It’s so good though

That was a surprise - was up and about all day today. No painkillers.
Recommendations for those having gallbladder surgery - get as fit as you can before hand. And get up and moving as soon as possible afterwards.
Tomorrow may be different, of course - I may end up paying for today!

Today in gallbladder surgery recovery: shoulder is fine but coughing is definitely not to be recommended

Okay - so it turns out that having your gallbladder removed does hurt.
A lot.
And this referred pain to the shoulder just adds insult to injury

A bakery has opened in our town which sells the most unbelievably delicious sourdough bread - called OurDough
It’s our Friday treat.

I went flying yesterday. Absolutely decked it. In front of two police officers young enough to be my children (so young). Been hobbling all day.
Do you think I have a bruise to show the family, to get the sympathy I earned?
No. Not even the slightest hint of colour change.
Sigh
