Get Ready for Love

Perhaps finding love needs to be tackled in the same way as finding a job? After all, both require a lot of  time, energy, and a shift in focus, to get desirable results. Out job-hunting, you might have to make twenty contacts for just one of those to turn into something with future potential. Dating is kind of like that, so be courageous and go forward with a mix of persistance and patience. Stepping into love needs to take serious priority over most other things, for a concentrated amount of time. Make yourself available, really available. Spruce yourself up.

Friendship Club

The March meeting of the Friendship club had some interesting songs etc. for their theme ‘Sing, Say of Pay’. The ‘Pay’ wasn’t an issue as the club isn’t here to make money, only friends.

A senior lady told how in the 1920s she purchased a motor bike, not only to go to work but for competitive riding against her male counterparts. It was a brave thing in those times.

It was all great fun and better still for those who chose to take part as joining in the theme was voluntary. … Continue Reading
