I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Today was a *beautiful* spring day. The sun was shining, hardly a cloud in the sky. Temperature was perfect 🙂 I’ve had the screen doors open all day… no flies this time of year… and it’s been wonderful. Classic FM playing quietly in the background as I’ve slowly plodded on with getting one of the … More Summer on the way?
Spent half the morning trying to find some way to make an Amazon advert show and image which they don’t have. In the end I’ve decided to give it up as a bad job and either go back to the way it was on the old site or tear my hair out. Of the two … More Grrr…
Seems I’m not fated to get a good nights sleep. Apart from the diet going totally awol, I’ve now sunk back into a morass of depression and sleepless nights. Clearly *something* is feeding of something else and causing all this, but I’m at a loss to work out what’s going wrong. Am I eating because … More Another bad night!
I discovered a great little program that I can only call an ‘organiser’. In use it is basically like a notebook into which you can write, clip, store, add anything that you want to keep. It will create shopping lists, to-do lists, a diary… whatever you want it to be. If you have a pen … More One more thing
Indeed there is yet more about the Australian Opinion forums… ok it’s boring for you but I like it 🙂 We’ve just had a new blog mod added so now all members have the opportunity to show the world how much they have to say. Ok maybe it isn’t as impressive a piece of software … More Good lord… even more on the forum?
Alan is still held prisoner by militants in in Gaza since March 12th. We’re adding the ‘widget’ to the blog for people to be able to follow the progress of efforts to secure his release. We trust he *is* still alive and will be released soon. His only ‘crime’ after all was to try to … More Alan Johnston
Things are again beginning to look rough in the UK. Having lived through the worst of the IRA bombings the British are now faced with the threat of Islamic militants increasing their terror activities. Bombs were found ready to go a few days ago and now a car filled with petrol tries to ram Glasgow … More Danger in the UK
Was sitting in bed this morning and for some unknown reason I started thinking about the street in Caerffili where my grandmother used to live. I recalled that in her street alone there were several shops. A general grocer, a butcher and a fruit shop (as I recall). Then I started spreading my mind out … More Nostalgia
I only have one question about the Spice Girls reunion… why? I mean it isn’t as if they have anything remotely interesting to offer. They had nothing to begin with other than some skill in hype. The world is a better place without them. It’s not as if we never see them after all, Posh … More Spice Girls reunion.
Me move? Nah… too old and fat. The wife on the other hand managed to wangle a lunch with Julia Gillard who is the Deputy Leader of the Labor Party. She spent lunch sitting next to her discussing amongst other things, her Welsh origins! No idea what else they talked about… something trivial like the … More Moving on up.
