4 Oct 1984. Michel and I met in Sydney. He invited me for a drink. The following day he asked me to marry him! There have been rocky years & immense happiness. Still, we shuffle along beside one another. I am truly blessed.
ENGLAND, 2026
Summer burned hot, with three, four, maybe five unbearable heatwaves.

As if it had all been planned.
September crept up on us.
And almost overnight.
It became Autumn.
The leaves are falling. The nights draw in.
This is England.
@DailyPicTheme2 Was in Porto post Covid when my rental apartment offered nothing other than one of these.
Took a bit of experimentation but got there in the end. Great coffee.
@deelomas A long distance walker me. Was in daily excruciating pain before hip replacement surgery. Surgery was on 3 December; did my first serious walk on 13 January. Reckon you need 6 or 7 weeks
“ When a Clown moves into the Palace, he doesn’t become a King, The Palace becomes a Circus” is a Turkish proverb which is worth heeding in the coming days.
