grumpy-grandma: Life's simple little pleasures
http://grumpy-grandma.blogspot.com/p/lifes-simple-little-pleasures.html
Ramblings, rantings and individual observations of a not very old dear. Lifes simple little pleasures. Life's simple little pleasures. There are lots of things that give me immense pleasure yet don't cost a single penny. I have listed some of them below. People watching can also make me smile inside and it gets even more interesting if you get to overhear conversations. Priceless material! The smell of freshly cut grass and also the smell of tar/pitch - I have to take very deep breaths of these if I get ...

grumpy-grandma: October 2011
http://grumpy-grandma.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Ramblings, rantings and individual observations of a not very old dear. Lifes simple little pleasures. Wednesday, 12 October 2011. Some of the truths about unemployment. I would like to dispel some of the myths that surround the current unemployment situation. After working in a Jobcentre for seven years before retiring and dealing mainly with the long term unemployed of all ages it's about time that people heard the other side of the story, the unreported one. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Some of the tru...

grumpy-grandma: May 2011
http://grumpy-grandma.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Ramblings, rantings and individual observations of a not very old dear. Lifes simple little pleasures. Monday, 23 May 2011. Jack in the Box. For the past three evenings I have had a new squirrel coming to the garden for his tea. I believe he may come very early in the morning with his mum but in the evening he arrives on his own and his behaviour is very amusing and well worth watching. He has repeated this last behaviour for the last three nights so I have decided to call him 'Jack in the Box'! Late las...

grumpy-grandma: August 2011
http://grumpy-grandma.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Ramblings, rantings and individual observations of a not very old dear. Lifes simple little pleasures. Sunday, 21 August 2011. A flock of my own! Well, I'm one of the lucky ones! It's lovely on warm, sunny afternoons when there isn't any danger because they are far more relaxed as they come over to the garden to feed. Then they take it in turns to have a communal bath in the water lily tub and sit on the fence in the sun to preen themselves while drying off. Thursday, 11 August 2011. 2 If the perpetrator...

grumpy-grandma: April 2011
http://grumpy-grandma.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Ramblings, rantings and individual observations of a not very old dear. Lifes simple little pleasures. Friday, 29 April 2011. And then there were five! I had quite a busy day today starting with a quick trip to the shops this morning. Because the royal wedding was on from 8:30am there weren't too many people around and a lot of the shops weren't opening until 1pm but at least Tesco and Wilkinson's were open so I managed to get the shopping I needed. Wednesday, 27 April 2011. My clematis 'Nelly Moser' did...

grumpy-grandma: A good threat works wonders!
http://grumpy-grandma.blogspot.com/2011/07/good-threat-works-wonders.html
Ramblings, rantings and individual observations of a not very old dear. Lifes simple little pleasures. Thursday, 21 July 2011. A good threat works wonders! I'm usually a quiet, easy going person but there are a few things that really get me going and then I take the appropriate action. However, there are some things that I can't really do much about apart from issuing a few stern warnings followed by a threat which is always seen through and it nearly always works. 22 July 2011 at 06:48. Yes when you get...

grumpy-grandma: My solution to the riots
http://grumpy-grandma.blogspot.com/2011/08/my-solution-to-riots.html
Ramblings, rantings and individual observations of a not very old dear. Lifes simple little pleasures. Thursday, 11 August 2011. My solution to the riots. 1 Anyone who has been arrested in connection with the aforesaid troubles should not expect the upstanding British public to cough up for them to have legal representation. Legal aid is a luxury they have waived their entitlement to because of their actions. Instead, the money should got towards the police wage bill. 6 Those found guilty and given a pri...

grumpy-grandma: Fed Up!
http://grumpy-grandma.blogspot.com/2011/09/fed-up.html
Ramblings, rantings and individual observations of a not very old dear. Lifes simple little pleasures. Saturday, 3 September 2011. For the last couple of days I've had a lot on my mind and I have been extremely frustrated too. On top of everything I decided to write a blog today only to find that they are updating the interface. Well, I liked it the way it was even if I have been rather busy lately and not had the chance to blog as often as I would have liked. 9 September 2011 at 21:47.

grumpy-grandma: Summer frustration!
http://grumpy-grandma.blogspot.com/2011/08/summer-frustration.html
Ramblings, rantings and individual observations of a not very old dear. Lifes simple little pleasures. Sunday, 7 August 2011. This year the weather has been somewhat upside down to say the least. We had a very warm spring which brought all the plants on in leaps and bounds so that they flowered well before the time they should have done but recently it has been rather cool, wet and windy so that other things such as the annual bedding plants and tomatoes have slowed right down. 7 August 2011 at 19:40.
