  • 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

  • I Can Write, But Can I Count?

    30 !!!! thing that make me happy? Mm My son, the sun, a smile from anyone, anyone’s love, the sky up above. My lady, a new baby, a better tomorrow well maybe. Fresh rain, no pain, a walk down memory lane. A smile from my wife, green shoots of life, a sign of the end… Read more

  • How Many Cats?

    I’m curious about what people are curious about, are they curious about me, are they curious about themselves, or are they curious, about who’s curious about them. With all this curiosity about it’s a wonder there are any cats left. Seriously, I’m most curious about the way people think, or don’t think. What drives people… Read more

  • Boy Scouts Hooves.

    I haven’t to told this story to many, especially the man concerned, and he doesn’t do internet, so he will never know. It’s a couple of years back now, and this chap came to me needing help, he was trying to help a single parent who’s little boy was hyper active, and had broken the… Read more

  • Plane to Happiness

    The Journey.     First place I would go, would be the Post Office, because I don’t have a passport anymore, you see I’ve been banned from most countries for smuggling in bad poetry.                                             … Read more

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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
