Who here remembers that lovely film, “The Hundred-Foot Journey“? Great wasn’t it.

Today, and for the past week or so, the algorithms that be, have been providing me with a wonderful personalised advertising experience. Adverts written with Chinese characters and in the case of YouTube, video adverts which are Chinese, Japanese, Korean, I wouldn't care to guess which. I think this means I have won; they really have no idea whatsoever who I am. It is a bit like Reader's Digest losing your mailing address.

A stranger car came down our street. It got to the bottom, realised its mistake. Furthermore they couldn't make the left turn to pass by our house. Their car did a three point turn and went back the way it came.
We were overcome! Such excitement! And it's still only February,
Still it was brave of them. Many stop at the outskirts and walk.

My mother in law was up and about today. She was pretty sick yesterday so it was a happy relief to see her feeling reasonably well.

On Friday, my mom started sewing again.
On Saturday I did a longish walk at a fast pace and enjoyed it, even if it was in an urban/semi urban setting.
Today, we went for a longish walk with mom. a nice weekend with my mom.

There are activities one can do, and participate in, to keep warm when the heating isn’t working.

Meeting a friend who came over from one of the smaller islands for the afternoon and brought my new purse. She bought it in northern Thailand when she was there last month. I love it!

Rewatching a happy series is good for the soul. The Good Karma Hospital fits the bill perfectly. Plus there are stunning views of the Indian countryside.

How wonderful old friendships are - even tho you have only met in person once before in 25 years . My friend , Lisa has been staying since Wed - and it has been non-stop catching up, trading opinions, eating out, taking her to polo... just wonderful ! We met on TTYC - and are now determined to have the 3rd meeting ( piss-up?) of the group. The first two were in Barcelona and Istanbul...

Quite the reverse - the team with 4 of "my" kids on it lost 17 to 8 boooohissss. ( but slightly mitigating the loss is that 3 of the guys on the winning team were also "my" kids)
