Flaming June was flaming wet yesterday. It made Tuesday, when Rain Stopped Play if you recall, seem like a jaunt in the Gobi. Today it has cleared, pushed onwards for the moment by bullying winds. This has meant that although taking photos for my Six on Saturday has been a dry affair, it has notContinue reading “Six on Saturday – After the Rain”

Six on Saturday – Time Travel
This week I have had to enlist the assistance of the time machine again, on loan from our very own Six on Saturday Time Lord, Dr Prop. At this very moment in time I am not only here with you I am also up to high jinx on another planet, possibly indulging in age inappropriateContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Time Travel”
Six on Saturday – Stormzy and Soggzy
Of course it was too good to be true. Last week was the intruder, the uninvited guest who agitated the party, whipping up the mob, charming us into believing we could have better. But we can’t. This is the south-west of the UK. It rains. It blows. We have residual webbed feet. I shouldContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Stormzy and Soggzy”
Six on Saturday – Dyb, Dyb, Dyb
I’m prepared this week. No last-minute rush, all is calm and in control, just like a girl guide. In real life I didn’t make it to the heady heights of girl guidom, but I was in the brownies, who quite frankly take anyone. I can’t remember much of our exploits except there was a curiouslyContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Dyb, Dyb, Dyb”
Six on Saturday – Ennui
Six on Saturday here we go again, all good friends and jolly good company. Although I’m not feeling “jolly good company” this week. On the contrary, I am rather uninspired. Dull. Boring. Bored. Perhaps a little bit grumpy. But only a little. Maybe I should ring in sick, but then again I’m away next weekendContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Ennui”
Six on Saturday – Conform to Type
For this Six on Saturday I have resolved to conform to type. I will be featuring stereotypically seasonal issues only. Possibly. We shall see how that goes. “What is this Six on Saturday?” I hear you ask. “Have you just returned from trekking in the Amazon rainforest where you set up home with anContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Conform to Type”
Six on Saturday – Brrrrrr!
Happy Six on Saturday to you all! It has been a week of weather; from the unimaginable cold in the North of America to the searing heat in parts of Australia. We had some of the white stuff in the UK too, which has been followed by the inevitable chaos on the roads and theContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Brrrrrr!”
Six on Saturday – Dark Weeks
Back so soon? Taking part in Six on Saturday is a splendid way to mark the passage of the darkest weeks, which I am making a concerted effort not to wish away. This wild beast is overseen by our very own lion tamer The Prop. It works like this, he point an upturned chair atContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Dark Weeks”
Six on Saturday – Time Flies
Six on Saturday time again. The weeks are passing quickly and soon I will be back at work. I am half looking forward and to half dreading this. I will be very unfit, I am little nervous I will hurt my foot, and it is bloomin’ cold out there! But on the plus side IContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Time Flies”
Six on Saturday – Firsts
You cannot get away from “Firsts” at this time of year. Wipe the slate clean and start all over. There is a lot to be said for that. A good approach to life. As the year tootles along these firsts will become fewer and far between, but not yet. And today was full ofContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Firsts”
