Macca's Bacca!

Nothing to do with McCartney’s divorce or his penchant for ‘wacky backy’… just that I downloaded 4 of his Wings albums and boy are they good! The only songs I recall liking of the Wings era were things like Jet (which was an all time classic) and Silly Love Songs (written after John Lennon jibed … More Macca's Bacca!

Bored :(

Spent yet another morning doing nothing and I’m bored rigid!! Just *why* I should be bored I don’t really know. I have the TV, a selection of DVD’s, books, magazines, and the laptop which gives me access to the entire Internet! But boredΒ  I am! Still, today I have been sitting in an armchair propped … More Bored 😦

Doesn't rain but…

Just to add to the woes… the enforced relaxation has made my back flare up again! I must have been lying in an awkward position or something and ‘pulled’ something. I’m dosed up (again) on anti-inflammatories and paracetamol but it’s not having much effect as yet. Jinx! The wife did an amazing job yesterday clearing … More Doesn't rain but…

Bleeding toe!!

Literally a bleeding toe! Despite spending all day and night with my foot elevated it still seems to be bleeding. Not much granted… but enough to soak through the bandage and the thick sock I’d put on to ‘protect’ it and increase the pressure. Not sure what to do now other than see if I … More Bleeding toe!!

A score to settle?

I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again… the score for the Lord of the Rings is without doubt *the* best I’ve ever heard. There are surprisingly few film scores that have been so good they have registered with me as ‘separate’ from the films they were written for. Of those that *have* made … More A score to settle?

Warragamba Dam

The recent spate of appalling weather has been a bit of a double edged sword for Sydney in general and for us in particular. The rain of the past two months has ruined many a holiday including that of the daughter and grandkids from the UK. It’s soaked through everything,made a mess of the swimming … More Warragamba Dam

Contacted Bunnings

Rang the store to ask for a copy of the ‘Accident Report’ in case the solicitor wants to see their version. This reminds me I need to extract the blog post and write it a little more accurately to give to a solicitor… I think the online version, whilst accurate, isn’t really adequate. πŸ™‚ And … More Contacted Bunnings

Oh my poor toe!!

From this day forward let no one question the existence of “The Jinx”!! This story is ridiculous… yet also painful so please bear in mind as you snigger, that I’m still feeling the effects. πŸ™‚ To begin, the best place is usually the beginning. As some of you know both my kids are in the … More Oh my poor toe!!

The Law is an Ass!

In Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens said “the law is an ass” and over the years the legal system has shown that there was good reason for his comment. Since his day of course things have gone slowly and steadily downhill to the extent that in the UK a woman is being made to stand trial … More The Law is an Ass!
