I am very happy that I am not taking part in this week's FIAB (not that I could as I don't run a B&B or any other type of holiday facility). I would not be able to look at one of the contestants and...
There are many things I struggle with and it is nothing to do with age, I've always been like it. I don't know anyone who has these annoying problems. A few examples - I struggle with: Plugs....
I've been talking to my elderly neighbour this morning. He told me that he had a far better relationship with his children and grandchildren during lockdown because when they are on the phone or...
I think you've been retired for some years. How would you cope today if your patients told you they had googled their symptoms, diagnosed themselves and decided 'x' treatment is the best plan? I...
My new driving licence has arrived at last - my first photo licence. How anyone could identify me from the photo is beyond me - the photo is very dark but if you look really hard you can sort of see a...
I've had a great laugh this morning. My GP surgery has asked me to give a 'motivational' talk to a group of type 2 diabetics to 'encourage them to accept their diagnosis and make lifestyle changes'. I...

Some things happen with great weight loss that one just doesn't expect or even think about whilst obese. Some of those things makes me wonder - 'is this just me?' One of those things (two really, I...
I struggle to squeeze shampoo and conditioner out of the bottles - especially when they are less than half full. Am I feeble or is this a cunning ploy to make us throw out the bottles and replace them...
We are told that junk food and ready meals are bad for us and should only be eaten occasionally, so why are M&S and Waitrose ready meals considered to be better? When an own brand ready meal is...
I have a problem with condensation in one bedroom to the point that mould has started to develop. I'm dealing with the mould but obviously need to sort the condensation out. I am looking at...
Must say the family and I are very much enjoying the new series, although we do miss Lady Felicia and Bunty. I think it would fit the Sunday teatime slot very well, when shows like The Blandings used...
