  • Burgers and Dog.

    If I had a choice, cat or dog? The answer would be Neither.! I don’t condemn anyone for having a pet, but it’s just not for me. I do have an imaginary dog, a black one, just like the one Winston Churchill had, he’s never far away from me, indeed today he’s particularly close. He’s… Read more

  • Losing Track of Time, and the Plot.

    Undoubtedly model making, then a close second writing this blog. Last year we had a general election here in the UK. I had loads of fun writing satyrical manifestos for each of the parties, then I did my own. Obviously it’s no longer topical, but hopefully it will give you laugh, and I need to… Read more

  • Playing Devils Advocate

    What bothers me most apart from death of course, is the a huge amount of people who aren’t bothered about anything much other than them selves. They’re not bothered about they’re neighbours, they’re not bothered about the litter they leave, they’re not bothered about the dog mess they don’t pick up, and of course these… Read more

  • It’s That Word Absolute!

    I’m absolutely certain no one will want to read what I have just spent half a hour writing (For too deep) I have saved it though, if anyone is interested. So let’s have some of my usual drivel, here’s my answer to the prompt . 1, The English football team will never win Wimbledon. 2.… Read more

  • The Unlucky Man

    Another tough prompt. My life has been an adventure, but now I’m old and feeble (exaggeration) the adventures are not so big. I am famous for not having any sense of direction, I once went to the toilet in the cinema, ended up outside and had to beg to be let in again! So my… Read more

  • The Tea Party (Not in Boston)

    I remember a while ago, well two whiles ago actually, because I heard it twice. A play on the radio, where a group of people including Bob Dylan’s manager were sat around a table in a restaurant. There was an empty seat and conjecture spread as to who was going to fill that empty seat.… Read more

  • Wasted Youth.

    I was thinking about a prompt from a few days ago or so, about teachers. It got me to thinking, once kids go to school they’re on a one way track aimed at getting a job, earning money, getting married, having kids, or worse still being sent off to die in someone else’s fight to… Read more

  • Early in the Morning, Late at Night, I’ve got a Poisonous Headache, But I Feel alright.

    Bob Dylan. (Pledging My Time) Dear Mr Daily Prompt compiler. You are trying to get us to use our imaginations, but there’s a limit you know. (What time do I get up and what time do I go to bed?) Come on you can do better than that! I get up when it comes light,… Read more

  • The Cyber Toothed Tiger.

    Today’s header photo, my special place. I find modern life tough, being a man of certain age. the gadgetry, the sheer pace of life itself. A lot of the time I feel I don’t belong. I use various techniques to keep myself sane, I have a regime of meditation, time out, and making sure I… Read more

  • We Are Nought But Cave Men.

    I’ve written the following, but actually there is something I’m excited about. My son is about to settle down with a beautiful young lady. She has intoxicating oriental looks, and a laugh that brightens our days, my future looks so much brighter now. Thank you know who you are. The Double Edged Sword. “I’ve made… Read more
