  • How Many Days?

    I like to please people, that’s what motivates me. If I make someone else happy, that makes me happy. Some will probably call it a flaw, attention seaker and all that, but what care I ! I remember when I was building my Bentley model, my wife was still working then, I couldn’t wait for Read more

  • This is straight forward question I can answer. It is bit of a struggle though, as we don’t watch any movies that contain gratuitous violence. Before I go ahead with my list I would like to ask a question of all my readers. Many years ago as an apprentice decorative plasterer, I was working away Read more

  • Most people think whiting is little squidly lines on a piece of paper, but no those are letters. Whiting are a beautiful little silver fish, What I like most about whiting is its taste, it’s very similar to cod but with more letters. You can get italic whiting but it tends to fall over in Read more

  • Another unspecific question ! I love the universe I live in, I love the planet I live on, I love England my place of birth. Usually when people ask me where I live my trite answer is “here” because I am alive in that place, at that particular time, and most of the time I Read more

  • Love, Love, Love.

    I am guessing I have gone for the most popular answer, love ! However, I do not mean love for any one person, although it does include that. I mean love as a concept love for people, love for animals, love for plants, love for the earth, love for the universe. Love is part of Read more

  • The first thing one thinks about when the word goal is mentioned is lots of football fans jumping up and down cheering. This kind of goal is just a fleeting moment in time. My goal is to touch people with my poetry and comic verse. I have done it in isolated occasion’s, made one or Read more

  • Planning, What Planning!

    Whenever I leave the house, I always leave the toilet seat up, in case I have an emergency when I get back! I always keep some spare dark, in a box in case the lights won’t go off. In case the water goes off I keep a ten litre drum to fill up from the Read more

  • What Are Words Worth?

    For word aficionados like myself, “Kool” was used by early jazz musicians, a lot of whom couldn’t spell, so “Cool” was misspelled “Kool”. It’s a few years ago now, we stopped watching a certain TV magazine show. The show used to be sometimes interesting, with some science and nature content, it gradually became almost totally Read more

  • Hidden In Plain View.

    On reading my blogs one would think I was at peace. Truth is I still find peace hard to find, but at least I know where to look for it. It isn’t in my home or my garden because these are becoming a burden for me, the house too big, the garden difficult to manage. Read more

  • A Stark Comparison.

    I would like to take this opportunity to draw a comparison. A comparison between a professional football player, that has the skill to kick a ball up and down a field, one who often exhibits aggression, is vastly overpaid and worshiped. To a fireman, firewoman, surgeon, or nurse. These people save lives nearly everyday, are Read more
