Following my minimal review of 2011 yesterday, 1st January has dawned with bloggers around the world making their resolutions, I’m sure you’ve been reading them and possibly even writing them and all I can say is the best of British luck to you. However, following about thirty seconds of careful deliberation I have decided to [...]

So, apart from making lists and a slight false start when I started blogging about my short holiday up in London, it is fair enough to ask the question of what I have been doing on this ten week, self-imposed sabbatical. Well, the truth is thoroughly mundane: I just got a little bored by the [...]
I had a strange man in my bath this morning. That’s right… the tiling expert arrived and seems to have done a fine job in making the bath/shower area nice and watertight again. We are currently in the process of letting everything settle and dry, so hope to be able to use the facilities again [...]

The twelve days of Christmas, I believe, are the twelve days that run from Boxing Day to the 6th January. I’m not sure quite where the gift giving that is reflected in the song of the same name originates and I’ve never really heard of anybody who would go through the trouble of working out [...]
Don’t panic! It’s not the “last post” really. In fact, it’s more like a first post but it does mark an ending because I am, by all accounts, officially and despite all efforts to avoid it, forty years old (with due emphasis on the “old” bit). A year ago, I started blogging on this site [...]

I apologise to all regular readers who clicked whatever link they found to arrive here but I cannot for [...]
“It breaks my heart to see a nation cloned by someone else’s poetry, They got their backs snapped by 12 inch pressure of financial bigotry, You know I’ve still got pride in who I wanna be, I don’t wanna be like them, I just wanna be me.” Francis Dunnery, “American Life In The Summertime”, 1994 [...]
