How different your life is from a year ago, but you simply created a new routine for yourself, one that suits you. It is a pleasure to read about your days, and your spirit never fails to amaze me. <br />Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-88949022132696750472021-10-13T03:11:10.222-07:002021-10-13T03:11:10.222-07:00Yes, Talcolneston mast is shorter and they took th...Yes, Talcolneston mast is shorter and they took the original, higher one, down a few years ago.Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-67078143214633413212021-10-13T02:38:51.328-07:002021-10-13T02:38:51.328-07:00Perhaps the transmitter masts don't need to be...Perhaps the transmitter masts don't need to be quite as high now it's all digital. For the last two years they have been renovating ours at Emley - there is a temporary meccano-like mast next to it at the moment while they do it. They have now replaced the top of the old mast and whereas originally it was higher than the temporary one, the new top is shorter.

Yorkshire pudding was on the menue, and Steve said I should try that. Since I had no idea what it was (but I knew from the way it was put on the menue that it was NOT a dessert), I cautiously asked: "Is it made with blood?" For the rest of the evening, Steve didn't stop chuckling.<br /><br />Even if no carer means no chat first thing in the morning for you, and having to do your little jobs yourself, isn't it also nice every now and then to simply sleep as long as you want?Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-78101532536096867132021-10-12T20:56:26.434-07:002021-10-12T20:56:26.434-07:00I wonder why they are not putting up a BETTER mast...I wonder why they are not putting up a BETTER mast, rather than replacing it with a shorter one?

I thought of you when John showed us his lovely new outfit for the wedding… you spoke of wearing your good clothes and how much of a lift that gave you. Grey days need something to lift our spirits and our dressing can help with that. <br /><br />I hope the television reception problems are over soon. I guess all you can do is endure it until the thing gets fixed.

I was 20 years old, in University, and newly employed as a hostess in one of the local "swanky" restaurants. I clearly remember seating several groups of people and attempting to confidently recite the special of the day; "roast beef, roasted new potatoes, sweet baby carrots, and Yorkshire pudding for dessert." I was puzzled as to why so many people asked me to repeat the special. It wasn't until much later in the evening that I discovered Yorkshire pudding wasn't actually a dessert. I was mortified.
