Our regular Friday night quizzers (and, indeed, anyone else who thinks that they've got decent memories) might care to note that, having already given us a Quiz of the Year, the BBC has now provided...
Once again we are away for this holiday. We have come back to the hotel in Taunton we came to two years ago. They have a package of two nights with dinner and breakfast. There is a champagne hoolie...
It looks like there's no BBC Quiz of the Week today (which, given we've only just got the four-part Quiz of the Year out of the way, isn't too surprising). However there's no need to miss out as you...
Going to daughters as usual for Christmas. Going tomorrow. It's going to be very noisy! There are the five grandchildren, 3 dogs and 2 cats. Then on the day, daughters friend is coming with 4 children...

OH has had his operation on Friday cancelled. They had decided a few days ago he needed a heart scan before the op. They say they haven't a vacant slot before Friday. It was originally said he could...
I can remember going to Towyn in Wales to a caravan site. Having to cross a railway line by a footbridge, as a steam train went under and blew its steam at me. Terrifying! We also went to Cornwall...
This should be interesting. On C4 tonight at 10pm...its the true story of identical triplets who were separated at birth, only to discover each other as adults. I read about this about a year...
