I'm not very good at guessing games.

Pardon. Can you speak up please. I'm a little bit deaf. 
NO, YOU DON'T NEED TO SHOUT. 
Just face me so I can read the expressions on your face, and lipread the words as they come out of your mouth. Please speak slowly and clearly. 
This is a short video. It is sound only. I recorded it at our Crafty Club this morning. We meet in the Village Hall. There are usually 12 - 15 members, everyone sits around a big table, all except me. I have a small table by myself. Some of you may know that I am deaf in my left ear. I wear a hearing aid which helps. But, it magnifies every sound, every voice, if I am in a group setting. When everyone is talking I cannot have a conversation because everything is loud. I wondered if my camera would pick up what I hear.
Thank you. That's better. 

Have a good day. See you soon. Toodle pip.   ilona

  1. Who believes that Cro has just a computer problem? He posted for the last time 8 days ago. It seems more than strange.Hope he is not sick.

    1. Hello Britta. Nice to hear from you. I have many personalities. Yes, I mix it up. My serious topics will often dissolve into chuckles. I don't know what is happening at Cro's French residence. Maybe he has computer problems. Maybe he is sick. Maybe he is taking time away from the computer to wind down and relax in his swimming pool. Forget the gloom and doom scenario. I hope he is having a bloody good time.

  2. Why go if you are so superior that you sit on your own, how aragant.

    1. I go because I am a jolly person and they like me. I make them laugh with my quirky sideways look at life. I tell stories. I am kind. I am honest, and generous with my time and money. I suggest you get a dictionary and learn how to spell. And while you are at it, you could reveal your name, though I suppose that is asking a bit too much . Toodle pip.

  3. 🤔 Anonymous, Did Ilona say she was 'So superior?' No, she did not!! Did Ilona say she is 'Arrogant?' No, she did not!! Ps. I suggest you learn how to spell the word: Arrogant 🧐

    1. Thank you for sticking up for me. I delete a lot worse than this comment, because I don't want to start a bun fight on here. Trolls are best ignored.
