I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Moving along from the weekend’s unpleasantness, there were a few ‘high’ points. For example the wildlife found in the garden is as interesting as ever it was. The ‘fat lady‘ is still hanging about at the front of the house, spinning her webs and getting us all sticky when we back into them accidentally. But … More And now for something completely different.
There are implications and ramifications from the sudden departure of the remaining Xmas Rellies. For starters I’ve no doubt we’ll get another visit from that foul mouthed semi-educated ‘would-be adolescent’ family member who posted previously. By the way, amazing as it sounds she *isn’t* an adolescent at all! She’s in her late twenties and has … More Implications and Ramifications
Sunday was a bit of a curate’s egg. The day started reasonably with us clearing away the plates etc the kids had left after doing their own meal. The worktops were all grotty so needed a good cleaning as did the hob which had something spilled on it. Took an hour or so but again, … More The Weekend: Sunday
Heavy day Saturday. Up at 5:00 a..m. to get the youngest to her skating lesson. She did pretty well though compared to the 14 year old we saw later in the day on the TV she has a **huge** way to go. She certainly needs more practice time and maybe gymnastics tuition as well. Anyway, … More The Weekend: Saturday
Slowly but surely, one at a time I can feel switches clicking ‘off’ in my mind. Thinking at a tangent for a second, I remember the wife’s father came in for a lot of criticism, over the years from both his immediate family, and from myself because of his ‘cut and run’ attitude to his … More The switches are closing.
I’ve slowly been getting more and more aware I’m heading for a major depression. Been on the cards for a while and tho I try pushing it off it keeps oozing back under my defences. The cause is probably the same old, same old… disempowerment. Pretty much it’s a feeling that your life and decision … More Stranger in a strange land.
It sounds very much as though Warner Bors have at last seen the light with regards the Harry Potter films and are going to make two films out of the final book “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”. Their reasoning being that none of the story elements can be left out and still have the … More Twice the Potter!
Been mulling over whether to create a new ‘temporary’ site for some of us to visit to make comments… everyone except Vicky Pollard of course. I can do without another visit from her!! Ewww…. <snip> Edit: Changed my mind… what I’ll do is create a ‘private’ subdomain accessible from here via a link, for invited … More Considerations…
Following The Phantom’s lead regarding stir-fries… sorta… I thought we’d have one tonight. Nipped out, bought some stuff and off we went. Chicken breast, broccolini, mushrooms, baby bok choy, mushrooms, carrots, baby corn, snow peas, garlic, ginger and coriander… cooked (not in the order listed) with walnut oil, honey and some Kikkoman Teriyaki sauce. It … More Stir-fry… mmmm.
Oh goodie… more jinx. Seems virtually *all* my ‘earning’ websites have disappeared off the net. I’m in the middle of contacting the hosting support staff to see what happened, when it happened and how long it’ll take to get them back… *if* they can get them back. In addition I looks like two domains renewals … More It's raining, it's pouring.
