I think I didn't appreciate how lucky I was having the Med so close, so much a daily view.. 

I remember many Blogs mentioning my view to work, coming around the mountain road, sun rising on my left, the golden glow rising from the sea.. the stunning amazing view to go to work with .. 

Of looking out from the doors to the store with a friend and looking at a glimpse of the sea from through the forest...

The return likewise amazing, the many colored mountain ranges ... The sun lowering again from my left... I breathe out slowly now as I write this... That feeling of letting the day go as I drove home... 

Before I remember the sadness of returning home without my beloveds there..

I've begun a new book today, well last night.. Meet Ella by James Middleton.. I'm listening on Audible, and he is reading his own book, already I know I love this book, the tears show this, already he is inspiring, already I greatly respect this man, achievements.. 

I finished the last of the Harry Potter books yesterday morning. 

Randomly it may seem posting Doozer from Fraggle Rock, early 1980's series, and of course, no need to say Arthur Fonzarelli aka the Fonzy,  The Fonz! 

I've carried these around with me for over forty years! They can go now! I've cleaned up little Doozer, he was a bit dusty, just from standing around in various draws and cupboards for decades! 

They're on eBay! Lols 

I was going to sell..

This Tango man! But #1 son has named a claim to him... We did have two, so not sure what happened to the other one..

I got them from an advert on Tango cans, back about '92 or '93? It said to phone the number on the can, listen, and a cost of two or three pounds would be taken and the Tango men sent!

I did, they were, and we had them! One each for my boys! 

One time, #2 son and I went to the Trocadero, train there and back, underground journeys.. The Nickelodeon studios were there then and viewing was from a huge glass window, anyone could watch the bits in-between the programs from there, and often the camera panned around and the viewers became the viewed! 

I had set the VCR (VCR! Lols to record specific times, and we were there! Laughing and waving the two Tango men at the cameras! 

When we got home we saw ourselves on the recordings.. unfortunately, not being something we could do, we couldn't record again on phones.. and again, unfortunately the recording became lost, probably taped over... I may have forgotten to break the plastic tab off the cassette, to prevent further recordings... 

But the memory remains.. 

A walk the other day I went out through the back gate, firstly out from the back door locked with a Yale key twice turned, out through the gate, top latch down, trying not to let the lower latch catch...

Came home and I couldn't open the back gate because the lower latch had shut!

I went through the house, luckily having the front door key but couldn't open the back door because I had double locked it from the outside!

What a conundrum! There was an answer, and luckily I found it quickly!
