Dear Diary
Yes, I've started writing in my diary again. Well, it's a new one. I found my old ones in a box in the attic when I was up looking for uncle Fester. Yeah, I know; I did ask Jimmy to look for him, but he didn't bother his hole. Don't get me started. Anyway, once … Continue reading Dear Diary
Off her trolley
A few years ago, ma had a fall and we had to bring her to A&E. It was so overcrowded, it was like a scene from M.A.S.H.
