I should be so lucky.

What kind of a job are you looking for, megham?

Anything that doesn't involve caring for the elderly or sitting on a supermarket till.

You could open an advice centre for computer dimwits. Or an advice centre for tired-of-waiting D fans.

 

Hey, we haven't heard about the horse yet....has it arrived? Though if your weather was like ours it was not

a day for riding. Bet its new owner didn't agree on that!

She's there but I wasn't - yet another bug to keep me home. Sometimes I think I'm falling apart. Still getting the migraines with a stomach upset to go with them.

Sorry you're not feeling well Meg. Hope the migraine, stomach aches and bug go soon.

These migraines are a pest. I should be going to get the papers

The fresh air should do you good......hope you're feeling better today.

Fresh air doesn't always help.

Yes, it can make you freeze can't it, Nina.

Even without freezing. I remember, one of the last performances of Chicago. It was stuffy in the theatre, which gave me a migraine. Standing outside, waiting for Darius just made it worse. I'm not sure how I got home. I was with Monica and must have seemed very rude because I couldn't face talking to her. I had to get a cab from at the other end because there was no way I could have stood waiting for a bus. Luckily my hubby was engrossed in something on tv so I could disappear straight to bed.

Migraines aren't fun. I had clster migraines for about 3 yrs after our car crash. Unfortunately, the started up again about a year or therebouts ago. Last time the medication had all sorts of side effects and I really don't want to go back on them.

Going to have the bath I've been going to have for the last 2 hrs. One advantage of not feeling well is that I lost 3lb last week - it'll come back on really quickly when I'm better again.

Got to run - Lunch Club. Be back later - briefly.

Hope you had a nice lunch. Today and tomorrow are the only days I'm not doing something this week - and I'm already broke.

I don't have lunch, megham. I'm just a volunteer on a Monday.

 

I really admire the group of older people who come. They are absolutely lovely and still brimming over with personality. Most of them are well into their late eighties and all smart as tacks, although some have lost some physical mobility. I'd have liked to have known more of them when they were younger.

My Mum's group dropped the 'young' from The Young Wives' group they all belong to a few years ago. The problem is, none of them feel old enopugh to go into the Women's Fellowship which was meant for the older ladies.

Lots of women in our Church think pretty much the same about the Women's Guild and yet in my mother's time, women in their thirties and forties were the stalwarts of that organisation - always baking and helping out with every other organisation's activites and fundraising.

Maybe it's better that the titles remain and alternate groups of people go to each. Then you wouldn't have people having to leave friends to go into an older group.

Once an older age group start to dominate any society or club, the danger is that younger people will not

join, so in time without new blood the society peters out.
