True phone conversation earlier today: Mum: Oh, before you go I have been meaning to ask you something. I’ve nearly run out of my turmeric tablets, I was wondering if I should get some more, but I can’t remember what I take them for. Me: Is this a joke? Mum: No Me: You take themContinue reading “Boom, Boom!”

Protected
Another white feather. I’m being followed. In the best possible way. I mustn’t get cocky though. That could be my downfall. We wouldn’t want the feathers to turn black.
Ice Road Trucker
Don’t be my friend, it is dangerous. I just can’t help but share. This morning my phone rang, it was Hero. Laughing. What a nice surprise. Although perhaps a little disturbing. “I thought I’d ring and give you a giggle”, “OK” I said, never one to turn down the opportunity for a chortle, “I’m stuck”,Continue reading “Ice Road Trucker”
An Alternative Christmas Message (no corgis)
It is nearly here. Whether you immerse yourself completely in the festivities or hole up in a cave on top of Ben Nevis until it is all over, tomorrow is Christmas Day. Personally I love it, although I can understand why people distance themselves from the excesses and unnecessary pressures.

It is a windy site but has sun. It is flat. It is only 20 minutes from home. I haven’tContinue reading “Bacchus”
Leaving Home
Tomorrow my next door neighbour’s daughter is leaving for university. She is a lovely lass and I am sure she will do well. We caught the train from St Ives to London, me and my Dad, and stayed overnight with my Aunty Joy. In the morning we drove down to Kent in her purple mini. Continue reading “Leaving Home”
Birthday Blog
Today is my birthday. I love birthdays. I may have mentioned it before. Any excuse to be special for a day. But I am not telling you this in the faint hope you might send me a tiara or a Nebuchadnezzar of Dom Perignon. A nod and a smile would be quite enough. A kissContinue reading “Birthday Blog”
Mad Dogs and Englishwomen
It has been a challenging day for a few reasons: a) I’ve hurt my back. I am in official denial about this in the hope that if we don’t mention it again it might disappear as quickly as it appeared; b) after exhaustive avoidance tactics I was bitten on the ankle by a horsefly andContinue reading “Mad Dogs and Englishwomen”
