‘Doily old’ struck a chord
Posted on Mon, 02 Sep 2019
‘Doily old’ struck a chord for me; I can remember houses of older relatives I'd visited when I was a child that had these on sofa arms and entry tables.

Thank you. When I received
Posted on Fri, 03 May 2019
Thank you. When I received 1944 as the random year, it was all I could think of, the batlle where a realtive of mine died on Christmas Eve. I thought it so sad that he had died on that day, not that death on any other day would have been less sad...

You kept the rhyme and timing
Posted on Tue, 29 Sep 2026

What a curmudgeon that Simon
Posted on Thu, 17 Sep 2026
What a curmudgeon that Simon is, doesn’t seem to like much of anything or anyone, even suspects his wife's food? I love the start to this story. How will those young neighbours get along with the opinionated Simon? On to Part 2 to find out.
