  • Sticking Plasteres.

    I guess, I’m going to have to pay more attention to security, although I consider it pretty good as it is. We came home from holiday yesterday to find our house broken into for the fourth time ! They managed somehow to climb onto the security shutter box on the first floor patio door, and… Read more

  • Hide and Seek.

    We’ve been away for a whole, month in the beautiful English countryside, walking through woodland, alongside rivers and beside the sea. We visited little villages where we did our shopping. We haven’t missed city life at all, but we have missed our games of hide and seek. Hide and seek. Today it’s over here, yesterday… Read more

  • Eaten into Extinction.

    We are taking an extended holiday this year. Starting in the New Forest Hampshire, then along the south coast of England, we’re now in Lyme Regis, and I thought I’d celebrate with a burger. Evolution. I think I’ve made an amazing discovery. Whilst visiting Lyme Regis on the so called jurassic coast of England. I… Read more

  • When Will We Ever Learn

    I’m posting this blog whilst on holiday, a well earned break, after being debilitated by my burn injuries. We are on a campsite with internet near Lyme Regis Dorset, after two weeks in the new forest without. Technology and greed did manage to spoil a few days for us, The broadband company we had just… Read more

Can’t afford the heating, The government say I’m bleating, The rise in my pension, Far too low to mention. Look out… Read more

  • I started doing my blog, because I needed a distraction. I’m a practical guy DIY, model builder etc, but back in March I suffered serious burns to my hands and my right arm, I couldn’t use my hands properly and I would have gone insane without something to occupy my mind. I’ve always written a… Read more

  • Rowdy Lout.

    Three years ago, we had a run of bad luck, someone stole our 12volt solar panels off our drive, then we woke up one morning to find the front border wall of our house had been demolished by a stolen car. We bought new gates on the insurance, and I rebuilt the wall myself. It… Read more

  • I’m not Done yet.

    A few friends out there in blog land, have expressed their concern, that my first attempt at entertaining, did not go to plan. I went to plan, I played my part well, but other elements were not there. So anticlimax is the word, after weeks of preparation, I have today succumbed to the ravages of… Read more

  • Diet of nonsense.

    As mentioned previously I am prone to obsessions. Dieting for example, one is only supposed to get weighed once a week, but then it gradually creeps up, twice a week, and then it’s every other day. Then, there I am getting weighed every morning and then the night time ones! It’s like any habit, it… Read more

  • Although I hate online shopping, it does have its uses, especially now high street shops are disappearing, forced out by online shopping of course. Unless of course you need a haircut, that would be difficult on line, but Ai and all that, one never knows ! Maybe you could one day buy a little drone… Read more
