Oh, Viktoria, your memory is remarkable! I remember quite liking the sound of "The Shadows", although I could never stand Cliff Richard.
Got as far as buying pile of cards for my favourite charities, felt I'd worked hard on Friday. Intended to write them all out and post them over weekend - got exactly five written so far!
Frightening how many people need crossing off my list. I never actually stop sending a card to anyone, unless I absolutely know they are no longer with us, it doesn't matter if I don't get one back, at all, but I hate the idea of someone not getting a card from me who normally would expect one.
By the way, has anyone found out how KGarrad of the Isle of Man, is ? Hope he's okay, a very helpful person with information.
Need to struggle with loft ladder to get down a few bits like candle bridge and main table decoration of old venetian glass tree, not looking forward to struggling with loft ladder - climbing it is okay, but getting the wretched thing down and locked in place ....... Not coping well enough to get or decorate a real Christmas tree this year, so three huge boxes up there of fragile Christmas tree glass baubles, some dating back to 1888, will stay unused this year for the first time....
Pity, because I've always loved a real tree.

I'd been thinking you might do well contacting your nearest branch of Salvation Army, radstockjeff. It'll be easily found online.
Re KGarrad - I'd been wondering, too, if all is well with him. Hope it is.

Well, after 2 hours being talked at, I needed some civilised company!

Another terrible week at the mercy of my internet non-provider! so long since I've been able to access my e-mails that everyone must think I've vanished. And I seem to be paying at least £15 more each month than everyone else I know!
Kind next door neighbour has just spent over an hour trying to get through their heads that I just want me own e-mail working properly, and passwords that actually work!
Progress! - Bah humbug. Pass me a quill pen, oak gall ink and a ream of parchment!

Two sets of greeny-yellow eyes would stare in a horrified stare at me if I so much as thought of opening the front door! Cats are wired up very differently from dogs!

jimbo50: Problem is getting a "Real" tree located. bought and erected, only then the thought of getting into the loft and lifting down four large plastic "trunks" of carefully wrapped baubles, built up over at least three generations past ours, then checking / fitting/ sorting lights, and then actually unwrapping each bauble, checking then fitting it in place...... used to be at least two nice glasses to do all that, and about 12th night do all in reverse, then lumber the boxes up.....
- And I'm not a minimalist to manage a tasteful bare branch!
Add to which, a couple of lively young cats .... and OH not very well nowadays. Simply no energy to spare.
Viktoria, were you told about not getting too close to some forms of magnets / vibration sources? There's a sort of sludge magnet thing attached to our heating system I was warned to stay away from that area when first I got a pacemaker. And I used to use an electrical engraver quite a lot, with glass, and that apparently isn't good, or microwaves. Check such things out with your medics.

Caw, we used to love Lyme Regis, went there often. When I was a child it was the Fossil connection, but it's a fascinating place.
I'm not keen on Hallowe'en at all. Refuse to hide away, though. On 5th November I can be found with the cats in a quiet well-curtained room, don't like that, either.
And because of health issues etc. no Christmas tree etc. this year - all my wonderful collection of glass baubles, dating back over 100 years, will stay dustily in the loft, probably not come out again until.....
Ah well.

Keep those feet up, and look at the cartoons and crosswords, Viktoria. The news is too depressing for anyone.

Our local newsagent went to one of those big delivery firms - it seemed as if it'd cost and arm and a leg, so I cancelled all papers except 2 local ones, and my Radio Times is already on a very reliable postal delivery.
I stroll up to the village on Friday, collect and pay for the two papers. Works fine.
