August 2022 & after a long absence I've returned to the fold of scribes. Initially the return won't be in my usual vein of jocular mayhem as I intend to explain my abstinence on these pages so please bear with me on this one, eventually normal service will be resumed.

So the last time I graced these pages it was to confirm the passing of our "Kleines Madel" & from that point on things didn't really get much better but life goes on. (We) I have had a pretty tumultuous few years leading to this present point in time & if you will allow me I'd like to open up to my friends on here.

I brought 3 sets of bedding when I came here- they are 'lost' frequently -I often wait for 2 weeks until they find some of it - probably been on someone else's bed (stained).
