  • Nottin Mybackyard.

    What Could I Get Rid Of. I don’t play an instrument, so I shouldn’t try. So for the sake of harmony I should get rid of all the instruments I don’t have. I don’t know if you could call an angle grinder an instrument, but I am very good with one, they do though make… Read more

  • Hey Hey Mr Dylan.

    I like the challenge of this daily prompt, but I’ve struggled with this one, As most will have gathered I’m a Bob Dylan fan, I’m not sure what genre one would call it. “Rubish can’t sing” I hear some people shout. For me though it’s the words, the fact that the poetry comes with music… Read more

  • The Human Zoo.

    The Zoo We went to London Westminster zoo, to see all the animals, their keepers too. Lots of reptiles eyes black and gold, snakes in the grass so scaly and cold. A chimp gave me a banana he’d taker from his mother gave it with one hand, then took it back with the other. Man… Read more

  • I Know Nothing,

    I’m an authority, on knowing I don’t know everything, about anything, I would never say I know more than anyone else, that I do know. I also know, that people who know everything never do, and people that know nothing, know they know nothing, so they do know something. So I know that I’m right,… Read more

  • When we were first married, we couldn’t afford romantic nights out, all our earnings went to buy our first house, so the following was the best we could do. Still simple pleasures are the best! The Hunt We sat one night peckish, at the goggle box to stare, But the TV was hellish. we craved… Read more

  • I Want You.

    “It wasn’t his grat he chewed, it was my grat he chewed” Sounds like W.C Fields, or is it something from my own fevered brow? To answer the question, “How do I Express gratitude?”First of all I always try and accept anything offered graciously, non of this “Oh no really I can’t” stuff” Then it’s… Read more

  • It Takes a Worried Man.

    I’ve mentioned before in my blog, I am a better person now after my cancer six years ago. If I’d have been the man I am now forty years ago we would never have had our two boys, such is my fear for the way the world is heading. Not just the wars but the… Read more

  • Ragged Trousered Philantropist, Not Quite!

    What Makes a Teacher Great. One who has the skill to make a pupil feel small? One who recognises potential not at all? One who’s way to control his class is by shouting? The ability of each individual he’s doubting? That was my experience of school, When I left each day feeling nought but a… Read more

  • My leg is now on my arm.

    I’ve broached this subject before, early on in my blogging days. So to recap, my hobby is building detailed 1/8 scale model cars. I needed to make a part to represent a rubber “S” shaped hose and decided to make a lead bar bend it then paint it black. I needed to use a little… Read more

  • That’s a bit personal isn’t it?

    I can’t think how to respond to this prompt. So I’ll just ramble on a bit. I’ve had some mental issues, panic attacks, depression, bit of OCD, difficulty socialising. So about two years ago I booked myself in for an autism test, give the beast a name and all that. I had the test earlier… Read more
