Plans for 2027

 My online romance

Meeting Svitlana

Cash Shortage

My first task is to clear the cash shortage caused by getting involved in a scam with Pamela Olsted, and her sister. This I hope will be settled by Feruary,

The next stage will, hopefully, be to arrange a meeting with my friend, Svitlana, in Didcot. I will be happy to carry out her first wish for a sleepover, it would make my trip calmer, for little extra cost. Her other wish, to marry me, is something we need to discuss.

I have a few short break holidays I would like to take too, perhaps a day out in Exeter, or a few days in Edinburgh. I have no plans to go abroad. I may even go back to Yorkshire sometime.

Some of these ideas depend on if Svitlana and I get on well when we meet, I am sure we shall, our online chat is relaxed

The Final quarter of 2026

  I am not likely to forget my 70th birthday

Scarface

Happy Birthday

The final quarter of 2026 started badly for me. I was aching, and not feeling well on my return from a shopping trip to Asda in Whitchurch, Bristol, when I tripped on an uneven pavement.

The fall left me covered in blood from a broken nose, and a deep dasg over my left eye.

My left knee is still sore, two weeks after the fall, so much I am housebound.

My friendship with a lady in Didcot, Oxfordshire, is going well, and I hope to meet her next year.

I will be glad to see the back of Pamela Olsted, and her sister who involved me in a scam from November 2025, until I ended it in June 2026. I can start rebuilding my finances

Camilla's caught

 The Queen of Thieves

A Royal Disgrace

Camilla Parker-Bowles

The family of Camilla Parker-Bowles have been ejected from Buckingham Palace, Princess Anne caught Camilla's daughter trying to steal.

I am not suprised, two years ago, CPB only escaped jail for attempted theft as she was Queen Consort, Princess Anne has been watching her like a hawk after she noted CPB was trying to set her children up as part of the royal entourage. This week, Anne, and Prince William revealed to the king that she was trying to cut Princess Catherine out of the line of succession.

People forget, CPB is not of regal blood, she is builder's daughter. She has regularly been a disgrace to the Royal Family. Few people approve of her outside of the king, and even he has turned against her this week.

Short break trips

 Edinburgh

Summer Holiday

There are cities other than York

If you watch documentaries on Yorkshire, you could think the only place of interest is York. There are many places in Yorkshire with interesting histories, such as Scarborough, a lovely fishing port, Whitby, the home of Captain James Cook, and the birthplace of Dracula. Saltburn-on-the-sea with its royal connections.

If you are a horse racing fan, you can visit either Doncaster or Redcar. Doncaster has a famous connection to soccer, it has the largest pitch area.

For fans of history, a famous battle was fought on the outskirts of Northallerton during the reign of King Stephen, an era known as "The Anarchy," for the wars with his cousin Princess Matilda

Which is more appealing?

 Show me your panties

What is the attraction?

Am I too old-fashioned?

I accept my view these days is out-dated, but I find a lady showing panties is more attractive, than a lady wearing clothing that is designed to covr as little as possible.

It is upto the lady how much she is willing to show, a classic example is Granny Site UK, there are many mature ladies on the site I considered attractive, but when they sit naked with their legs wide open, there is little thrill for me

My online romance

 Ukraine

Meeting Svitlana

Svitlana's dedication

Because of the conflict in Ukraine, I doubt my relationship with Svitlana will progress further than we are now.

The problem is she wishes to visit her relatives, but cannot get her visa because of the conflict. 

While I am a litle disappointed, I am happy to progress as we are, close online friends. Perhaps, we will meet one day.

I want to be left alone

Alan Place

In the words of Greta Garbo, "I want to be left alone," one lady online won't stop pestering me about sending her money. She "claims" to be willing to going send me money owed by her sister, but all she does is ask for money for "bank charges."

I sensed it was another scam from the first letter she sent. Why would someone be willing to send you money, before asking how mch you are owed?
