I visited an elderly relative, who resides in Bourne, this evening. I love to pop over to visit her and to say a cheery hello. The staff all seem very friendly and helpful.
I stopped at the railway crossing because the barriers were down. I was a little startled when the train sped by me as I had been in deep thought. A kindly station master came outside to open the gates and I thanked him as I drove by.
On my way home from visiting this evening, I decided to take a different route home. I ended up driving home via Woodcroft Road. 😱
I was travelling down a long, dark, lonely road, which can feel like journeying through the depths of your thoughts, where each curve holds a mystery and each shadow whispers secrets. The only companions are the hum of the engine and the rhythm of your own heartbeat, echoing in the vast expanse of solitude.
It seemed like a never-ending journey driving back on a narrow winding road. There were no other cars in sight. I will admit to feeling a little on edge, but it was all a very exhilarating experience and it got the adrenaline going. 😃
I recently spent a lovely day at Wells-Next-To-Sea.
“Well-next-to-sea” is a small coastal town, right next to the seaside. It is a picturesque location with views of the sea or easy access to beaches and maritime activities.
The Key Theatre in Peterborough is a prominent cultural venue known for its diverse range of performances, including theatre productions, comedy shows, musicals, and live music events. Located on the embankment of the River Nene, it offers a picturesque setting for visitors to enjoy entertainment. With a capacity of around 360 seats, it provides an intimate atmosphere for audiences to engage with performances. The Key Theatre also hosts community events and educational programs, making it a hub for cultural enrichment in the Peterborough area.
Going to see The Rubettes was a blast! Friend Anita and I went to watch them play at the Key Theatre, just a few years ago.
Imagine stepping into a time machine, transported back to the groovy era of glam rock. The anticipation builds as you enter the venue, surrounded by fellow fans dressed in retro attire. As the lights dim and the music starts, you’re swept away by the infectious beats and catchy melodies. It’s not just a concert; it’s a journey through nostalgia, filled with energy, excitement, and timeless tunes.
We had such a fabulous evening.

Q. Hi SmileyRose are you on Facebook? If so, what do you like about it? Is Facebook as fun as it used to be?
A. Hi to you. This is an interesting question because I have been on Facebook for several years. I was very reluctant to want to join the social media site, mainly because there were things about it that used to bug me.
I really did enjoy using the site to begin with. I loved the two column posts, as it was fun to use back then, but someone changed it. It was after this change when I decided it was not fun anymore.
Basically, I loved displaying my photos in a fun manner and you could not do this anymore once this was changed ie adding a song beside my photos or a funny video etc. It looked better presented.
Very soon after the changes I started to notice odd things occurring. I had the feeling that my photos etc were not being viewed by just friends. Then I started to notice albums going missing. Two of the first albums to disappear were my Cyprus and Rome photos (whole albums!).
I eventually noticed that my Google account also had missing photographs. All of the photos I spent hours editing began to disappear. I then noticed that the setting on Facebook changed because people were not leaving their Facebook accounts open to all of their Facebook friends to view? Why were they friends on Facebook if they felt they had to hide the contents/their photos, etc.
I then noticed more of my photos went missing. Eventually, someone hacked my whole Facebook account, including all of my posts and Facebook photographs. It was during the time I was grieving my Father. I have never seen that Facebook account again and eventually I opened another Facebook account.
I have never hidden my photographs from those I added as a friend on Facebook.
Since then, someone was regularly going to my Google account and that person was removing all of my hard work. My lovely photographs. I have no idea why someone would behave in such a bad way.
I feel like someone has invaded my privacy and they have removed photos which belonged to me. It has all been very upsetting.
There you have it. I consider my passwords to be difficult for someone to guess. So how?
I must admit to feeling so ill about it all. The thought of someone going into my private photos has made me feel so ill. There were photographs of my children on there. Nobody wants anyone to have access to their family member like that.
The thought of people using my photos for their websites has made me feel ill too. Absolutely nobody has my permission to use any of my photos.

Q. Do you have all of your friends from your hacked Facebook account on your new Facebook account?
A. Some, but not all. They have all gone under the radar so to speak. So strange.
Q. What sort of accent do you have SmileyRose?
A. Well I can only speak English, therefore It is likely to be an English accent because I cannot speak another language and I have only grown up in England.
My family’s language is English.
I have never really needed to learn another language. I suppose if I was living in another country permanently, then I would have a good reason to want to learn another language but that has never been my intention.
Q. What’s your early memory of a film SmileyRose?
A. I was still pre-school and I went to see the Disney film Cinderella and The Sound Of Music with my Mum. I have been a fan of Julie Andrew ever since. 🙂
Yay! I ordered a new socket for my new telephone the other day and I received it within 24 hours. My phone is working. 😀

A. I am a Mother. I have just two daughters, Kitty and Lolly. They have both completed University and they are both working. They are both young ladies now.
Q. When you are in love with a man SmileyRose, what do you see when you look into his eyes?
A. Goodness! OK, I am trying to picture his eyes. When I look into a man’s eyes, I can see a window to his emotions, thoughts, and experiences. They can reveal vulnerability, strength, passion, or pain. It’s a connection that can convey understanding, empathy, and sometimes even mystery.
Hmm but when a man gazes into my eyes, I would want him to look at me with passion, his eyes might be intense, focused, and filled with desire. His gaze could convey warmth, longing, and a sense of connection.
This is when you realise that man really loves his woman ❤️ 🙂
Q. I saw you liked the film “Three Men And A Little Lady” SmileyRose however what about “Three Men And A Baby?”
A. I try not to discuss any films where there are non-prescriptive drugs mentioned in them. I’m fussy about what I enjoy watching I have seen what drugs can do to someone and it is not very nice. There have been so many young lives that have been lost, because of hard drugs. A lot of crime ie burglaries etc stems from drug addictions, therefore it is best not to encourage or talk about it.
Q. Describe your perfect day SmileyRose?
A. My perfect day might start with a beautiful sunrise, followed by a leisurely breakfast with someone you love.
The day would unfold with engaging activities, perhaps exploring nature, pursuing hobbies, or spending quality time with friends/family members. It would include moments of laughter, relaxation, and personal fulfilment.
The evening would be spent watching a breathtaking sunset, reflecting on the day together, and ending with a sense of contentment and gratitude.
Thank you, God, for this day.
Q. I know you are a godly person and all of that stuff SmileyRose and do you believe in evil?
A. Hi. I would not say that I believe in evil, however, if you did not have evil, you wouldn’t stand out in the crowd as someone being Godly, therefore it exists but I was always the #Good child. 🙂
Q. Are you Italian SmileyRose?
A. Not in the slightest! Some people mistake me for being Italian.
Q. What is the first single you ever bought SmileyRose?
A. The first single I ever bought was “Native New Yorker” by Odyssey
The first CD’s I ever bought were Simply Red “Stars” and Elton John’s Greatest Hits. 🙂
Q. What is the most heartbreaking movie you’ve ever seen?
