Whatever comes to mind I can’t think of a category for… or can’t be faffed making one for.
Recall a couple of posts ago that I was concerned about the possibility of a poltergeist taking over the house because of ‘sneezing’ noises we were hearing? Well the mystery (such as it was) is solved. A week or two ago I decided the house ponged a little… ok a lot… in fact it stunk!! … More Who's a silly boy then?
For the past couple of days there have been odd noises coming from the tv area of our lounge. It isn’t just me that can hear them… the eldest daughter hears them too so I’m not going mad… quite. It sounds very much like a cat sneezing and happens fairly regularly and for a while … More Strange noises in the dark
Apart from the fat lady who sits outside the front door and the others of her ilk we have around the garden, we now have one that has made it’s web above the car over the space that will one day become a car port (if we ever manage to keep any money for more … More Photograhing Golden Orb Spiders.
Sad to hear that Jeremy Beadle has died aged just 59. He’d been ill on and off for some time with Leukaemia, and kidney problems etc but finally succumbed to a bout of pneumonia. I can’t say I ever liked his style and I felt more sympathy for those people he ‘pranked’ than I felt … More Vale Jeremy Beadle
Been said before and it’ll be said again. I talk too much. I just looked back at todays offerings and realised I’ve spent far too long typing and too little working. Makes a change tho, I’ve hardly been on here for ages and I’ve forgotten how much I enjoy the odd ramble now and then … More Ooops… I talk too much.
Life goes on… and as it does, piles of waste and rubbish are generated. As is the way of the world, the local council responded by reducing the size of the waste bin for general rubbish from 240 litres to 140 litres… I assume this was intended to make us all recycle more of our … More Rubbish Collection: Baulkham Hills
I was sitting at the train station this morning, as I do every morning what I take the wife to catch her train, watching would-be passengers coming and going. This morning for some reason what struck me was the huge diversity between one human body shape and another. It was just an idle thought really … More Human beings – human doings
I thought maybe a list of stuff I intend (or intended) to cover might help both of us. Let’s see… Wildlife in the garden The diet. India and the cricket debacle. Kid attacked by dog – mother backs dog. Eldest daughter off to high school. One species but what diversity. The state of the house. … More Some topics…
Seems hard to believe it’s been 6 days since I wrote in here! It’s been 6 quite hard days as well, all in all. Since the daughter left for the UK we’ve been trying to get ourselves reorganised into some sort of ‘normality’. The chaotic state of the house wasn’t all her fault by any … More Nearly another week gone!
We were *very* pleased to learn that our local Girl Guide Leader (Christine Karger) had been made one of our local ‘Citizens of the Year’ at a ceremony last week. Unfortunately we weren’t able to attend… mostly because we didn’t know the event was on… but must agree that Christine is a *very* worthy recipient … More Christine Karger: Citizen of the Year!
