Haven't got time to die...


Oh, not another passion!  In between doing Japanese and practising the piano I have just discovered a wonderful TV program - British, of course - called 'Literary Landscapes', this one featuring Thomas Hardy, one of my favourite writers (after Tolstoy). This pic is of his house.  Nothing old like this here, so we Australians simply adore such beautiful buildings. I hope this program will be on weekly.

Just got my new glasses and now I can see.  Go to the eye specialist in a couple of weeks.  My mother went blind, so I make sure I have my eyes checked every year.

Yes, we have been through a lot together, Winifred.  It is a strange thing that we English-speakers find other languages so difficult.  We have absolutely no talent for learning foreign languages.  In spite of that, I continue to struggle with Japanese.

I continue to be tired all the time, too.  Last evening I had not a drop of energy and went to bed with no swim and no exercise class.  Have a piece of steak, was my doctor's advice.  It's probably what I need, as I know I don't eat enough red meat.

Michael and Frank, I hope you are OK.

Yes, I’m ok. Choosing and ordering new bathroom tiles and objects and inviting work offers. For the nonce taking measures for installing new sewage pipes. Works will start in about 4 weeks. Regards from snow free Germany!

I haven't eaten red meat for years and years Diane - what is it supposed to do for you? The 'experts' change their minds daily as they try to tell us how to live, eat, sleep, breathe. Perhaps though that is only in the UK other Governments might just keep out of it. dunno!
Anyhow when I begin to feel a bit weak I have a week eating proteins only and whether it is my imagination or not it seems to do the trick. xx
