I had the story saved on a now dead kindle as a document and cannot find it on my laptop.

I just found this so funny that I thought some of you might find this BBC news item funny as well.

Sadly old Jack passed away last night.

To be honest, I can't say I wasn't half expecting it. He did look extremely frail and I think confused at suddenly receiving kindness from humans. But at least his last days were in the warm with a soft bed to rest on with as much nice food as he wanted to eat.

Sadly Jack left us last night

Until recently Covid19 was something that was changing the lives of other people, but did not affect me personally.

Twenty years ago (I had to check, it's that long), I got the DVD Silverado, A film I've always wanted to watch. But every time I've put it by the player to watch. Something has happened and I've never got to watch it.
This Christmas it was on the tv, so I decided I'll watch on broadcast. What happened, three phone calls and a neighbour knocking on the door with a problem and could I help. I did get to see about tens minutes worth spread about over the film so to be pointless.

Ten feel good movies to watch in these dark times

A Hard Day’s Night
A typical day in the life of The Fab Four as they tried to outrun screaming fans, find Paul s mischievous grandfather, deal with a stressed TV producer and make it to the show on time.

There are two cartoon on my kitchen notice board that I have had for more years I care to remember.

If you would like to see the train ride (Zug) that Maddy Bells Gaby, Connie and the gang use to go to school when it is too cold to cycle (& see the cycle track they use as well!). Or the ride on to Remagen where they go swimming or Bonn where they shop. Then these three YouTube videos are for you.

The first video one starts at Ahrbruck (end of the line) to Ahrweiler. Stopping at Altenahr, Mayschob, Rech, Dernau. (20mins 37sec)

Sorry, Penny's World will be a little late on account I have not written it this week.
This is entirely Karin Bishop's fault for writing Port of Arrival and then setting it free from her pc. I am completely blameless.
Real life got in the way as well, but it is mainly Karin Bishop's fault.
I will start writing and stop reading now!
