Shoreham Airshow 2007
Me looking brave before taking to the air (and the wing) of the plane. Wow, it was cold !! But the whole experience was totally exhilarating.

Jan's Blog
Computers and the internet are amazing things. One of my concerns with putting together this site was that it could remain current, yet with all my travelling I've often much to say, but little time to say it. Years ago when reading the news it would take me days on end to reply to the kind letters people sent. Now, with the magic of the modern age, I can keep you up to date with what I'm doing and other events in my life.
LIAR by Kwezi Fairfoot
Date: 16th February 2010
LIAR by Kwezi Fairfoot Kwezi is a friend of mine whom I met in the UK back in the early 80's. She was born and brought up in Kwa-Zulu Natal. Kwezi is the Zulu name given to her by her Nanny - it means 'Morning Star'. She speaks Zulu and it was this ability which saved her life when she was attacked by... Read more...
CALL CENTRES - Saints preserve Us.
Date: 16th February 2010
CALL CENTRES - Saints Preserve Us How many of us absolutely 'loathe' Call Centres. They are proliferating and getting worse. What beats me is that in the UK we have growing unemployment and yet Businesses and Employers are allowed to get rid of staff and take their Call Centres Abroad. And Barclays... Read more...
THE WALLACE COLLECTION and THE WEEK
Date: 14th February 2010
THE WALLACE COLLECTION and THE WEEK I've taken The Week for several years now and cannot recommend it highly enough. I don't buy a paper every day - too depressing and I get so angry and frustrated at what's going on both in the UK and abroad - so I take The Week which covers The Main Stories complete with...

COMPUTER CRASH If you don't hear from me for a while, it will be because my Computer is 'in hospital'. I had a major crash called a 'Kernel' (if I've spelled it correctly) and after reinstating all sorts of discs etc. Paul, the lovely chap who helps me with my computer, suggested it really does need to be...

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THE SINGLE AND THE ELDERLY
Date: 7th February 2010
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST SINGLE PEOPLE AND THE ELDERLY Ok, I'm on a grumble roll. I get absolutely furious at this 'Two for the price of One' or 'Buy one, get one half price'. That maybe Ok for families who need a great deal of food but it's we singletons who are subsidising the 'cheaper!!' food. ... Read more...
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA
Date: 7th February 2010
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA Well before the Computer gives up on me and goes into dock I thought I'd add a little piece to my Blog. I'd seen the film before and had no intention of watching it again but a look at the programme offerings for tonight - they were not at all enticing. As so many people say... Read more...
COME DINE WITH ME
Date: 6th February 2010
COME DINE WITH ME Well, I don't know what you thought of the programme but I was astounded to see that my Website received 5,545 hits on Sunday night. I usually get around 300 in a week. And, NO, they weren't all looking for the 'Nude' photo of Yours Truly. As Tim Firth so beautifully puts it in... Read more...
