I was AWOL last week: stuff happening, good and otherwise, mainly good, often mundane, in my fleeting absence did I miss anything? At this time of year the weeks fly by in a blur. I’m not keen on this seasonal hyperdrive. Why should these summer days be will’o’the’wisps when the inclement one are extended? ItContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Did I miss anything?”

Six on Saturday – Pottering
I think it was a good week. I can’t remember it being anything other than that. I did some gardening, some not gardening (rained off) and some peripheral stuff. No drama, just pottering along. Which is fine by me, although perhaps a little boring for you. If you would like to join the Six onContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Pottering”
Six on Saturday – Flaming
Flaming June, I am sure I will not be the only one to point out the irony. Apparently this weekend will be an improvement, but whilst the rest of the country basks in righteous sunshine, I believe, after a short interval, more rain is to come next week. Of course this is not Saturday, butContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Flaming”
Six on Saturday – Challenging
It has been a tough week to be a gardener in South Wales. A good week, but challenging all the same. The weather has been unnationally hot, other climes might call it warm, but for us it was definitely bloomin’ scorching. Not the best working conditions, but we made it through. Next week we areContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Challenging”
Six on Saturday – Alignment
Bank holiday weekend, heat wave; these planets rarely align. However, it appears that we are going to be treated to just such an unusual event. It might get messy. Of course this only applies to a small portion of our world, which is all I can accurately report upon. Which in turn is a shortcomingContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Alignment”
Six on Saturday – The Prof
Tuesday was the funeral of my client, sparring partner, chief heckler and, most importantly, great friend, John Kingdon, AKA The Prof, AKA JK, AKA My Sponsor. I shall miss him terribly. Here is my feeble homage to him. We disagreed about most things. In fact we could bicker about almost anything, which is generally theContinue reading “Six on Saturday – The Prof”
Six on Saturday – Little Green
This week’s title, Little Green, refers to a song by the wonderful Joni Mitchell. If you aren’t au fait with this tune, and would like a worthwhile earworm, then I recommend exploring further. My Six on Saturday today is more accurately A Lot of Green, but there isn’t a song, to my knowledge, with thatContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Little Green”
Six on Saturday – Vigilance
It is a time to be vigilant. As is the order of things, plants are beginning to shoot, monsters are primed to eat them. Who can blame the munchers? Lovely fresh foliage, plumptious and delicious; after a winter snuggled in a cosy corner it is just what the doctor ordered. Such is the way ofContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Vigilance”
Six on Saturday – Solidarity
These are sad times for our Six on Saturday community. I am sure I am not alone in finding it tricky to find the words this week. However, it is important that we do and, in doing so, show solidarity. It is vital we support each other in this world, real or virtual. On aContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Solidarity”
Six on Saturday – Soothing
I’ve had a busy week. Busy in a good way. Which means that I am weary but contented. And a little bit sad. Spring has the knack of soothing the troubled soul and providing positivity where perhaps it would usually be tricky to find it. This week my favourite season has done a sterling job.Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Soothing”
