Lovely entry.
And yes, I know about the poppies. and I think it is a wonderful tribute to those who sacrificed so much, through the image of a beautiful flower with deep meaning.
Btw, I was born in 1943, a year before you.

I love the monthly puppet shows; they teach children how to use the marionettes and then they do a monthly performance.
I loved Vincent Price, just rented the Pit and the Pendulum to watch again. I heard it read at a Poe event, I came home and read it again myself then watched. It brought back some cool memories of watching Vincent Price with my friends.
What is the most useless skill you have? The most valuable?
I have the usual home making skills which are invaluable but really tedious. Today’s generation will be learning different skills to ones I learned as a kid. At school we were expected to learn to sew and do embroidery. The boys did metal and woodwork I’m not sure these skills are valued as much today. The most useless skill I learned to do as a six year old was to balance a broom on the end of one finger. Funnily enough no one ever asks me to demonstrate. The best place to find useless skills is in the Guinness Book of Records. I was quite envious of the man who was famous for being the fastest to walk 50 yards on his hands holding a football between his legs. I’ll start practicing tomorrow!
