Memories.
These stories are all just general memories of things I have done in the past that don't fit into other categories. They may be of days out, places I've been, people I have met & things I have done but they don't fit into any other category specifically. Many of these memories just come back to me at different times & I like to record them for when I can no longer remember them.
I hope some of them make you chuckle or maybe remember things from your past that you have enjoyed.

I was talking to a friend this week about jobs we have done previously & I was reminded of this story when I fitted a gas metre in the wrong house back in the 1980s.

When I was browsing Facebook in November 2022 I saw an advert from the Los Alcázares town hall advertising a lunchtime swim that they were organising on Boxing Day 2022. I thought it looked like fun & decided to give it a go.

In 2019 I sold one of my apartments in Florida & looked at what the cheapest way to send money back to invest in my pension fund would be, flying to America turned out to be cheaper than wiring the money.

SPICES was a group of friends that once a month went out for a meal at an Indian or Chinese restaurant. Sampling food from many of the area's best restaurants, the idea of the night was for lots of male bonding, laughing & storytelling. Tonight was the first night I had managed to join up with the group.

At the end of August, I was feeling in pain & worried about my leg. I had a clot many years ago & wondered if that was what was causing the pain this time.

Not being very clever myself, I have managed to join a few ladies, who are very clever & do a weekly quiz. They don't mind me sitting with them & throwing in the odd correct answer to make it look like I know something. Imagine my surprise when I discover that four of the ladies with whom I entered the quiz are part of a barbershop harmony group known as the Pilarmonics.

I used to go to the 'Who Do You Think You Are Show' every year when it was held at Earls Court in London. I used to travel to London & stay with my Uncle Dave for the weekend whilst going to the show. He has now moved to Birmingham & strangely the 'WDYTYAS' has also moved from London to Birmingham at the NEC.

In 2014 I had taken a two-city break in Spain, staying in Madrid for a few days before travelling to Barcelona for a couple of days. My mum had been ill for a while & I was taking a week's respite from being her carer.

I got up this morning to discover I can't remember where the Christmas cards I had for my family had been secreted away. I bought them earlier in the year and put them away where prying eyes & little hands couldn't find them. The trouble is my normally perfect memory can't remember where I hid them.
