  • 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.

Todays Dylan quote “ My patron saint is fighting with a ghost, he’s always off somewhere when I need him most” Good Eh? Please Read more

  • Eulogy to a fine man.

    I lost my best mate November 2024, I miss him like hell, but my loss cannot compare with that of his family.. I wrote this piece for his wife and our group of friends, but back then I had no means of making my feelings known more widely. The part about telling him I loved Read more
