Last night Stirling found himself a little chip of firewood and had a
fantastic time playing with a chip of firewood he found. He was batting

Got on my bike for the first time since return from France last Friday. It was
h*ll from the second I got on it. I felt *dreadful*. Absolutely nothing in my
legs at all. I cycled up to Fakenham, feeling like giving up several times en
route. Got to Fakenham & I was hit with an awful ...

thing in the sky is bright and hot and meowmie has bare legs. Not

Grizzy again
I had a bad day. I got shut in the bathroom after meowmie left for work
today. I was there for hours as meowmie was late back as she went swimming.

I haven't managed to write anything new for the writing challenge, but
compiled some excerpts from Frank's diary a few years back.

I had a delightful time with Bev, her husband John and her cousin Bea.

is obvious that she is not content to sit around and be a little old
lady.  She has a little trouble with her hearing, and won't drive on the

Louie's getting disgruntled and is looking for new work. He's at a
nonprofit outfit now and learned he is grossly underpaid for a
programmer. I told him that if he doesn't get up off his keister and hit

A woman knocked on my door yesterday, telling me someone in the
