Toots

Two of my favourite small towns are an hour or so drive away from Wollongong. Robertson and Berry.

There are dozens of really nice seaside towns in the UK. I learned to swim in the sea in Scotland. We lived fairly close to a nice beach.

Back in the day we only got a fortnight's holiday so I thought that today with their 4 weeks they would all be off to Florida or Spain.

Never heard of him. No, I don't care what 'celebs' and TV personalities get up to.

I used to stay with a friend who lived in Fleetwood and we would get a tram to Blackpool and meet up with other friends there. Had a lot of fun. Shame it seems to have gone downhill over the decades. All the factories in Glasgow used to close for a fortnight during summer and all and sundry spent the 2 weeks in Blackpool for their holidays. It definitely was a bit rough to put it mildly when they hit town. Aaah the good old days. Fond memories.

My husband was born in Brisbane but spent most of his schooldays in Sydney. So he supports the Blues. May the best team win.

I can't listen to him at all. It makes me feel nervous and embarrassed for him. Can't listen to Trump either though.

I've made an appointment to see the dentist next week. I go every year and usually just need a check up, scale and clean but this time I know I need a filling. Haven't needed a filling for years. A while ago I had a cracked back tooth caused by crunching on an ice cube about 20 years ago. It didn't bother me at all for a long time then it started to ache. The dentist recommended root canal at a hefty cost and as it was right at the very back I told him to pull it out. He wasn't keen on doing that at all and muttered and mumbled about not wanting to extract the tooth. I said "it's my tooth, just pull the ruddy thing out". So he did. Saved about $500 and I didn't miss the troublesome tooth at all.

One of Glitter's songs was used in the movie Joker.

She married Bill when she was 18. She looks at least 10 years older than that in the wedding photo.

There were far more than Bill Wyman shagging under age girls but the difference was the girls threw themselves at the big name rock starts. Doesn't make it right though.

I hardly every watch TV so didn't see anything about Rolf Harris. Heard about it on BBC Scotland but they didn't give much info other than that he'd died.

I wonder what happened to the portrait he did of the Queen. Was it chucked out or is it hanging up in one of her many residences?

Well obviously he doesn't care as surely he wouldn't have mentioned it if he did.

Many children are nasty little devils when it comes to what Harry describes in the book about the matron. I am surprised he brought it up though. You would have thought he would have been far too ashamed to do that. Also the paragraph about losing his virginity. Bet he got a shock when the woman came forward in the media to state it was her and she wasn't a much older woman at all. I've done all my outside and inside chores ............ it's a horrible wet and windy day again so it's feet up and more of Harry.
