My mother told my father she thought she had a loose tooth. So the old man decided he’d make an appointment for them both to have their teeth looked at and fixed if neccesary Well we got there… and I left them to go pick up the kids from school. They were out when I … More Dentists – part two.

I love soups but for years had all bar stopped making any… the kids won’t eat them and the wife isn’t much interested whether I make them or not… so I don’t. However, the oldies are here and as I’ve slowly lost weight so I’ve felt more like doing ‘stuff’ so I’ve started to get … More Soup glorious soup…

In a post on Feb 25th (Yet another dog day) I related the tale… gawd what a pun… about a dog we found wandering along the road. We took it home, it gobbled down a bucket of boiled chicken… and I said I’d pass on an update when I took it to the vet next … More Lordy… yet more on dogs!

I’ve been reading David’s account of his appaling treatment in the hands of the USA and their brutality over the period of his confinement.

Much of it is corroborated by other prisoners and more tellingly Americans themselves who served in Guanta’amo, … More David Hicks tortured.

Every so often I look at the sites I’m running… or supposed to be running… and realise how much work they need to bring them up to scratch. TalkTidy for example is a real mess with a site map invisible to Firefox users and so totally crippled as far as presenting John Edwards work. The … More Time is a traveller.

Until the far right section of the local Liberal Party ‘deselected’ him he was a loyal member but let fly at their underhanded tactics before resigning his seat. He is now standing in the coming election as an Independent. … More Stephen Pringle can @#$%&??

All this early morningwalking has given me a new appreciation of how much I like my bed. 🙂 The 5:30 start wouldn;t be quite so bad if I could wave goodbye to the wife and crawl back in for an hour or two… but having to go on a brisk 4 kilometere stagger immediately after … More Morning has broken.
