Back in 2009 (only ten years ago as I write this) I had a "fold-up" mobile phone. I bought it to make telephone calls - the obvious reason. Then I found that I could also send text messages and that it had "predictive text" (which almost invariably produced results that were risible). It also had a built in camera. There is an old photographic saying that "the best camera is the one you have with you". That's true enough, if the alternative is no photo at all and, clearly, the phone mak…

I have trying to get around to writing this for over a month ! The puppies grow in size and hyper energy !

Flicka died in my arms at 5pm today as the Vet and I sent him on his next Journey. My Beloved Troubled Boy is troubled no more. No more fears he so bravely battled for nearly 12 years . He is going to the Stardust to meet Lucas and Cleo and all who I care for. No more cancer that finally took him after suddenly infecting him 5 mths ago. Sunday was a bad day... he went into a shutting down decline and he and I both knew it was time. I laid on the floor with him and last night w…

Maybe the only way to get rid of these ants is to blow up the house...
