If you have not any daughters,
Give them to all your sons
One ha’ penny, Two ha’ penny,
Hot Cross Buns! Hot cross buns!

Sundaystills “Connecting”

Posted on Jan 6, 2023Jan 7, 2023 by Bernie

It felt like mumbo jumbo…the year end post and a couple of blog challenges and the word of the year. Nothing flowing at all.

Week(end) at Bernie’s

Posted on Jul 14, 2022Jul 14, 2022 by Bernie

For years the guys at work teased me about having a Weekend at Bernie’s. About 5 years ago I finally watched the movie. Dead guys weigh a lot more than he did is all I’m going to say on that subject. As to a real weekend at Bernie’s…spoiler alert. No one died. No one was even spoilt!

And so it begins but I am hopeful that with some planning it will have a better outcome. Not a passive hope but one I have put some thought into.

A Long Rabbit Hole

Posted on Mar 30, 2022Mar 30, 2022 by Bernie

So “it’s” been on my list since I retired 3 years ago. 3 years and it took us 3 evenings to accomplish the task. “It” and a few recent events have sent me down a rabbit hole inside my head so bear with me as I twist and turn.

Loads on the shelf

Posted on Feb 18, 2022Feb 18, 2022 by Bernie

I have quite a little stack of books on the trunk by my chair right now.  Just not quite enough hours to read them all but I am slowly working my way through them. There is a reason it’s slow going.
