  • Where Does the Time Go ?

    It would be in my younger days a simple matter to complete almost any DIY task, age seems to have robbed me of that super power. Everything is ten times more difficult, just the planning and collection of materials a challenge in itself. I Want To Do It I Really Do. I want to do… Read more

  • You Are Looking in the Wrong Place.

    One of the things I was most scared to do was yesterday’s post, some of the subject matter. was quite taboo. Tackling the matter of overpopulation is never easy. The last time I approached the subject on my blog, even a close friend misinterpreted my intentions. So I will repeat I am not espousing any… Read more

  • We Are Many and They Are Few.

    I never complain, about how people are in denial about how this planet is over populated by humans. I never tell people we cannot carry on growing our population, and each new addition wanting to use more resources than the previous. I wouldn’t dream of complaining because the majority of the population only believe in… Read more

  • Egg

    Family traditions not many do we have. There is just one tradition our immediate family share, we use the word “egg” as a greeting, this comes from the gradual morphing of hello, to “eggloaf” then just “Egg”. It’s quite good in a crowded place the shouting of “egg” usually gets attention. When our boys were… Read more

  • Bird on a Wire.

    An old girl friend once said to me “If you like Bob Dylan you’ll like Leonard Cohen” That’s true to a certain extent, Cohen has written some beautiful songs, but as some say they can’t tolerate Dylan’s voice, that slow drawl of cohen irks me. Songs such as “Hallelujah” but even more to my taste… Read more

  • I’m Not An Old Man, I am A Man That is Old.

    Most certainly not ! Last year I was struggling with the aging process, after four years of the building of the Bentley model diversion, it was like I was waking up four years older, but going from my 60s into my 70s made it worse. Just getting used to that then my burns accident kind… Read more

  • The Mask.

    If I could meet a hysterical figure, it would probably be Oliver Hardy. I would like to know why he was so cruel to little Stan. Seriously any bully would do even Hitler, I would love to know the workings of these bent and corrupted minds. Surely love is easier than hate, it can spread… Read more

  • Too Much of Nothing.

    I absolutely know we are being brain washed and manipulated, to keep the privileged few in wealth. How can it be normal to just want more and more ? Next time you visit a shop, say Next or similar, just stand and look around, how can all that stuff be necessary? We have a coffee… Read more

  • Lazy Days and Bun Days.

    Do I feel unproductive on lazy days ? Yes. ! That’s an honest answer, but I have been taught, doing nothing/resting, is actually doing something, it’s resting ! That lesson was not well learnt though. We all need rest and recuperation, but this modern life makes us feel guilty if we are lax. Lazy Days.… Read more

  • Principles and Principals.

    The principles I follow, are love and respect for my fellow human beings, honesty, and a total lack of aggression. .The Principal My neighbour is a “clever”man the principal of a college, but as for the menuciae of life, of that he has no knowledge. He can speak Latin he can speak Greek, but has… Read more
