Blog 3 – Some More Ramblings

22nd July 2024

I am a huge fan of the #HarryPotter. I have watched and enjoyed all of the films.

Harry Potter is a fictional character and the protagonist of J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series. Born on July 31, 1980, he is known for his distinctive lightning-shaped scar on his forehead, a result of surviving an attack by the dark wizard Voldemort as an infant. Raised by his neglectful aunt and uncle, the Dursleys, Harry discovers on his eleventh birthday that he is a wizard.

Attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry is sorted into Gryffindor House and becomes close friends with Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. Throughout the series, Harry confronts numerous challenges, uncovering the mysteries of his past and destiny, and battling Voldemort and his followers, the Death Eaters. He is known for his bravery, loyalty, and a strong sense of justice.

Hermione Granger” is a fictional character from J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series. Hermione is one of the main characters and best friends of Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. She is known for her intelligence, diligence, and resourcefulness. Hermione is a Muggle-born witch who excels academically at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her character is portrayed as strong, loyal, and compassionate, often using her knowledge and quick thinking to help her friends out of difficult situations.



I enjoyed #TheOneShow today and the guests Suranne Jones, Rachel Stevens and Adam Lambert. πŸ™‚

They are a firm favourite. I love to top my hot chocolate with marshmallows. Marshmallows are soft, spongy confections typically made from sugar, water, and gelatin, which are whipped to a soft consistency and molded into small cylindrical shapes. They are often coated with corn starch to prevent sticking. Marshmallows are sweet and chewy, commonly white, but they can also be found in various colours and flavours.

Historically, marshmallows were made from the root sap of the marshmallow plant (Althaea officinalis), combined with sugar and egg whites, which gave them their name. Nowadays, the plant ingredient is rarely used, and commercial marshmallows are produced with gelatin instead.

Marshmallows are used in various culinary applications, including s’mores (a classic campfire treat made with graham crackers, chocolate, and toasted marshmallows), in hot chocolate, as a topping for sweet potatoes, or simply as a candy to be eaten on their own. They can also be incorporated into baking recipes and dessert dishes, like marshmallow fluff or Rice Krispies treats.

Lol, I have just had a lovely bath, in a huge bathtub. I stood up to wash my hair and the shower here, is sooooo good. The only drawback, when I switched the shower nozzle to the off position, I turned it too far. I didn’t realise that it would start the monsoon shower up above me! There was a quick yelp, due to me turning the cold water tap on! Yikes! That woke me up. 😁

I love horses! A friend used to keep horses in the field across the road from where she used to reside. I used to visit regularly. Our daughters are the same age.  I can recall this particular morning, about 6 years ago. We both took a cup of tea into the field and we lazed around. It was a beautiful sunny morning. I could feel the warmth of the sunshine on my face. It was such a lovely moment. A good memory. Frances x

My thoughts for today.

It is never quite the same when someone else gains access to your private Google files, without your permission. It is an eerie feeling knowing that someone has viewed your private photos without your knowledge. Then some have returned them or they return some of them after they have been passed around everywhere else! You end up with poorer quality photos after they have been passed around everywhere else. For instance, my Chelsea day at the Stamford Bridge Chelsea grounds was brilliant. I took lots of lovely photographs on that day. I am just gutted that someone else thought it was a good idea to take them from either a private Google account or a private Facebook account, which was hacked.

They use and abuse my photography, then some people hand them back!  Why can’t they leave me alone!

I am feeling a little under the weather today. It is not like me at all. I have picked up a bug from somewhere. I should take it easy. Staying in bed, wrapped up in my favourite blanket. #FeelingPoorly

A guy is sitting at home when he hears a knock at the door. He opens the door and sees a snail on the porch. He picks up the snail and throws it as far as he can.
A year later, there’s another knock at the door. He opens it and sees the same snail. The snail says, β€œWhat was that all about?”


I wrote this, on BBC forum, in Sept 2010.

Why do some people get things so wrong? I never said for one minute that my photographs were the best!  However, they are my memories and not anyone else’s. They are pictures that I captured during the many outings I have been on.  #NothingMore #MyMemories

Omg! Why? 🀣

I have not met anyone who I want to marry yet!

What’s the point of getting married to someone, just for the sake of it? I have to be in love with someone before I would even consider marriage again.
