Hello, dear reader!
It’s actually me again - the lovely wifey.
The last few weeks have been busy in the Rankin household - and for once, I have actually coped with the said business pretty well. After our garden clear-out, and 6 spanking brand new windows, our house looks completely different, and it feels different too. Let me explain.

A Window On The World
Hello, dear reader!
And it’s all go at the Rankin household.
Yes, very much like the proverbial buses, you wait around for ages and two busy days come along at once.
Which is nice.
Some of you poor, long suffering souls will recall that, a couple of weeks ago, I was bemoaning the lack of subject matter upon which to write, but this week the opposite is in effect. This week, I have subject matter aplenty, the corollary being that as a result I’m slightly lacking in the mental reserves to do it much justice. A swings and roundabouts type situation which is increasingly usual.
But what, you may ask, is this explosion of activity?
Well, let me explain…

The Worst Seats In The House
Hello, dear reader!
Hot enough for you?
Yes, it would appear that summer has landed. Those few brief weeks of actual decent weather we, in these British Isles, tend to celebrate by complaining how hot it is.
And so, before the day becomes too melt-y, I’m taking advantage of the relatively early morn, a nice breeze, a pot of coffee, and a comfy seat on the couch to put down a few words of mild complaint.
Because, not all seats are quite as comfy.

Moth Balls
Hello, dear reader!
I’ve said it before. No doubt I’ll say it again. This time, however, I really do mean it.
It’s going to be a short one today.

Passion Merchant
Hello, dear reader!
We all, I think, have a list of priorities. There are things that matter to us, some a little more than others, and, probably without much in the way of conscious thought, we arrange those things into neat little tiers.
Now, for a lot, if not most, of us, the higher tiers will be filled with the health and wellbeing of those we love. Families, friends, partners, and quite rightly so.
But somewhere, possibly a few tiers down, there are those other loves. The ones we don’t always admit. Those personal obsessions, that mean nothing, or next to nothing to most other people, the ‘extra’ bits of life that go that one step beyond hobby or interest to become something more.
It’s one of those I’d like to talk about today.

Clean Bowled
Hello, dear reader!
It’s going to be a short one today, a quick read (stop cheering at the back). The reason for this unexpected brevity? Well, that has a little to do with cleanliness, a little to do with windows, and a little to do with crown green bowling.
Intrigued? Then read on.

Grey Hair & A Creaking Back
Hello, dear reader!
So it seems it's my turn again …… you chose whether that's a good idea !!!!!
Today I want to ramble on about something that affects everyone, an inevitable part of life that often we all dread, yes you can get creams and treatments to delay it, and yes you have probably at one time wished you could slow it down. Have you guessed?—Today I want to ‘ chat’ about getting old.
