debris4spikeApparently today is the 40th anniversary of the Argentinian invasion of The Falkland Islands ... I was at college at the time so the age of the soldiers really struck home to me ... 350+ died. Actually I saw a patient a couple of weeks ago who was ex-military and he was a bit older than me so we ended up speaking about the conflict ... although he was a POW from day #2.
I do hope that those who fought, suffered, and mourn are comforted today.
How can it be the Weekend, again? Sorry I didn't post yesterday - I was too busy having fun!
Christine came up on the bus and we went out to a National Trust property again ... it was lovely to be out and about ... seeing some history, and some beauty ... having a walk (and maybe taking a photo or two!!) Yes, the photos will be up at some point - probably Monday by the time I am organised.
This morning washing is on the line, and some ironing must be done a bit later, and I have walked into the city to get a new battery for Mum's gold watch ... and collect a birthday card for someone I am seeing on Monday. So that was about 4 miles.
Now I must get some lunch organised ... but before I go ...
1. If your 5-year-old self suddenly found themselves inhabiting your current body, what would your 5-year-old self do first?
Panic
Maybe wonder why I don't know any Welsh as at that age I was learning the language in the aim that I would take my 11+ in that language.
2. What inanimate object do you wish you could eliminate from existence?
The only thing I can vagualy think of are Mobile Phones ... but I do know that wouldn't work.
I shall think and maybe edit later!
3. What is your favourite way to waste time?
Reading fan-fiction
Sight-seeing/museums etc
Jigsaws (when the brain fog allows)
Right that's it - I must get food ... and will hope to catch up with you all later, but if not, I'll see you Monday x
