Saturday 20th September

My heart sank when my internet connection went down this afternoon.  I know the cable company, under its new ownership and expensive updates in equipment, would always provide a better service, but I can't subscribe to one that is as prohibitively expensive as it became, so I was just hoping for the best from its alternative.   Fortunately, I got the connection back when I turned off the modem for a while, but I hope that is not going to be a regular thing.

There's been no sign of Chaos for the last couple of days, so I am hopeful that she is at least somewhere safe.   Bubbles has her confidence back in going outside.  I stepped out on to the porch this evening and she literally ran out behind me.  A far cry from yesterday's very tentative stepping out.
 
This morning I went to the AARP meeting, Phyllis had rung to say there would be a musical entertainment, and they were indeed very good, singing golden oldies, and she and I were jigging about like the 1950s teenagers we had been.
 
The meeting starts at 10.30, the business part takes about half an hour, then they start queuing for lunch at 11.00.   Lunch at 11.00 doesn't seem to faze anyone else, who I am sure got up at daybreak, but as I think I've said before,  I can't be doing with lunch at 11.00, I've just had my breakfast.   So I just had Phyllis' cheesecake.
 
That is really all my excitement for the day.
 
Today in history...............
1915 Stonehenge is sold by auction for 6,600 pounds sterling ($11,500) to a Mr. Chubb, who buys it as a present for his wife. He presents it to the British nation three years later.

I didn't know that!!!!      Did anyone else know that?
