  • I’m a pensioner I don’t do expensive! Ok so I’ve had a bit of fun with this, with not much time to do it in. Been to hospital, came back home a bit low, so a bit of self therapy was called for. Actually finances are not quite as bad as I make out we… Read more

  • 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

  • What Do I Look Like?

    If you only care what I look like, then I’m not going to say. If you don’t care what I look like, it doesn’t matter any way. You don’t have to have vision, to see what’s contained herein, just show trust and love, and I will let you in. None of my friends are my… Read more

  • Shopping.

    Shopping was a weekly ritual for my mum, not like shopping as we know it now, at least here in the UK. I help out a friend at our local DIY (Hardware) shop, so many customers comment on how nice it is to come into a “Proper” shop, have a chat, share a joke or… Read more

    I used to be uncertain, but now I am not so sure! How would I describe Myself? This is not a good day to ask me that question. The black dog, is once again at my heals, it got over the fence my mind had created to protect me from my burn injuries. So I… 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

  • Domestic Travels

    Travel plans. Not done any Dylan for a while so,       “ He can be fascinating, he can be dull, he can ride down Niagara  Falls in the barrels of your scull, I can smell somethings cooking, I can tell there’s going to be a feast, sometimes Satan comes as a man of Peace” From Man… Read more

  • The Cost of Perfection.

    Silence is Golden. Silence is golden, it allows my eyes to see, my hands to work and my soul to be. Meditation in art, to be in that place, where just one millimetre is a massive space. The whole world in the stroke of a file, hours slip by in such a short while. The… 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
