So just before Christmas 2020 I weighed in at a massive 155 kilos, which is nearly 25 stones in old money. This is possibly the heaviest I’ve ever been and the additional weight brought with it a host of health issues such as severe pains in my hips and knees. Also my arteries began to … More Essersice and dye it…

The blog is supposed to be what the name suggests… a ‘weblog, i.e. a form of electronic diary where you can store ideas, notes memories and items of personal interest. I tend to forget tho that this is why it’s here and ramble off in all sorts of other directions that have little to do … More Back to basics.

Seems the phone app will become very useful just by itself, with or without voice! I can be out and about, take a picture, and as can be seen the “Ouch” post below, immediately upload it to a blog post. Nice.

Started today off really well when I tipped half a cup of tea over my bedside table.. and the power boards I have sitting there next to my books etc. This resulted in the power going off to the sockets and house lights. I shifted the dozen or so books I have off the table, … More Interesting start to the day.

I mentioned a few days ago that one of the genres that provide my favourite authors was Science Fiction. Well carrying on from that I went out a couple of days ago with my daughter in search of a few second hand bookstores. I have a list of books in the Dune series by  Frank … More Talking of books…

Much as I love writing, I’m aware pages containing nothing but text are ‘bare’ and often difficult to read.

I also need to find some sort of Android based blogging software on the Play Store that will allow … More Pictures… hmm.

TPP have slowly been returning my sites to their ‘original’ state. This site is a blog called “Green Acres” that I started not long after we’d moved to a new house and last written in back in 2013!!
