  • Everything Is a Little Upside Down..

    “Every thing is a little upside down, as a matter of fact the wheels have stopped, you’ll find out when you’ve reached the top you’re on the bottom”. A line from Bob Dylan’s “Idiot Wind” on his “Blood on the Tracks” album. In answer to the prompt, I would live almost anywhere where there are… Read more

  • And Now For Something Completely Different.

    Anarchic, funny, irreverent, set me up for later life. I’m talking about “Monty Pythons Flying Circus” of course, It’s a bit like Marmite, you either loved it or hated it, for those not familiar with it I apologise. The quotes are not meant to be exact, it’s just a pastiche. LET’S TAKE A FUNNY WALK.… Read more

  • The Decluttering of John Clutterbuck

    We’ve had a similar prompt before, I was tempted to answer the question “Are you minimalist?” by just writing the word “Yes” but doubt it would be good for my ratings.I know the context of the minimalist being referred to, but to me it means doing with less, basically the more of us there are,… Read more

  • Do You Remember, That Little Word Please ?

    Sometimes I think I live in a country of parrots and apes. Now over to the Judge of all that’s crass, banal and inane “The winner is “Can I get…..”It doesn’t really surprise me that much to hear younger people saying it, their minds alas often still quite malleable, but to hear older people saying… Read more

  • Sit Down My Love.

    This is a strange one, it sort of came to me as if I was talking to myself, then I realised it’s what my wife would say if she expressed herself in as wordy way as I. I have had three close encounters with the holder of the scythe. our motorhome once overturned on the… Read more

  • Fig Leaves.

    These prompts are getting worse, “What’s the best thing about minimalist living?” I’m not a minimalist, I like to surround myself with familiar items. With the exponential rate of change nowadays I need that anchor. So I’ve just had a bit of fun. FIG LEAVES No ornaments in my house, not even a vaseI try… Read more

  • An Enigma.

    As in the song by Perry Como, It’s just impossible. One just is not allowed to live the kind of life I would want to live, unless you are wealthy of course, and if you are wealthy you wouldn’t want to live the kind of life I would want to live. It’s a funny old… Read more

  • Hands.

    I was gifted with hands that could create many wonderful things, and I’ve had a very productive life. Day to day, my most creative period is in the mornings, I flag in the afternoon. Indeed I left writing today’s post late again, ended up answering the wrong prompt, so now it’s too late, my readers… Read more

  • The Great Circle of Life

    I do have a morning routine, of course I do, but no one wants to know about the habits of a four ring old Bart like me. So today I’ve written about a much more important routine. THE GREAT CIRCLE OF LIFE. I can hear the beating of my mothers heart, as I wait for… Read more

  • Write Me a Letter.

    Not really a new thing, just a reminder I’M NO GOOD WITH TECH. I wanted to send an e-mail to our local radio station about my new book I got myself into a proper tangle. I also got myself into tangle with my posts, so you will just have to manage with something that doesn’t… Read more
