It's OKWe all think we are invincible. I did. I thought I was healthy for my age, Eating all the good stuff and exercising, until one day I felt a bit odd. A trip to hospital and told I need a double bipass for which I am still waiting. Life has changed immeasurably. I implore everyone to get checked. I wish I had! I should have known better. My husband died 12 years ago of a massive heart attack and the 40 minutes I spent administering CPR were to no avail. Act before the wake up call!ViewDate:

Do you dream more nowadays or have your dreams become more vivid?I dream a lot. In the past past I could remember them but as I age, as soon as I wake they’re gone which is very frustrating! Recently I was on oral morphine and had some amazing Alice through the Looking Glass type daytime dreamsViewDate:

Will you be sending Christmas cards this year?I will be sending cards this year but not as many as in the past for obvious reasons! I love receiving them but with the introduction of address labels, the ‘excitement’ of guessing who they’re from has been mostly removed. Yes, the postage is exhorbitant and is more expensive than the card, but it’s worth it and there are ways of saving. Bulk sending and asking the recipient to hand deliver to family & friends is one way. I dislike receiving jolly seasonal emails informing me they are giving to charity in lieu of sending cards. The charities are definitely suffering., most now selling 3 packs for the price of 2 although in the RNLI shop where I volunteer they are much in demand & we have been selling them to visitors since mid summer! It’s a long tradition to send cards. Long may it continue !ViewDate:

Do you make your bed as soon as you get out of it?I pull back the duvet, straighten the sheet, shoogle the pillows, open the window wide then leave everything to air. Later in the day I finish the job - duvet up & window closed.ViewDate:

Should the humble Ploughman's lunch become gender neutral?It was originally made as a meal for a working ploughMAN. It’s part of history. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Too much meddling going on these daysViewDate:

Do you eat less meat than you used to?I eat far less meat, if any, now Im on my own. However, I do occasionally enjoy meat meals which are cooked for me which probably says more about my cheffing skills than anything else! I loathe ‘lumpy’ meat and now even dislike chicken. I’m hovering on the edge of vegetarianism ….ViewDate:

Sleepless in WorthingOh yes! How I can empathise. Luxuriating in a warm bath before bed, as advocated by the ‘professionals’ is the death nell to sleep and the green light for my brain to go into overdrive. The specs v facemark resonates too Specs are on & off like a yoyo I find lodging them over the top of the mask helps, briefly. How in earth spec wearers in the NhS cope I do not know. Love the poems btwViewDate:

Dealing with dry skin this winterI moisturise daily throughout the year particularly arms feet legs and back (which dries out in the shower!) I use Calcot Manor dry oil and/or Garnier 7 day moisturiser, or anything else which comes to hand just to ring the changes! I use serum on my face & neck in the vain attempt of fending off the wrinkles. I have advised my 3 daughters that it's never too early to start moisturising...wish my mum had told me.......ViewDate:
