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
Feeling a little more alive and alert than in recent days I decided today was going to be the ‘cleaning day’. Ok… *a* cleaning day. Didn’t do too badly all in all. The wife got loads of washing sorted, and mowed the lawns front and back. She also did a bit of tidying and sorting … More Busy day today!
As said, I’m back on my feet and walking again. Tomorrow I intend to go back to the gym and stretch the tired old muscles once again, but obviously I really needed to do something before that to avoid over reaching myself and causing more damage than I ‘cure’. I mentioned I took the dogs … More Ouch – a nice quiet family outing!
Ok I know this ‘toe related’ rambling is getting tedious… but it’s a blog and if I can’t whinge here where can I do it? 🙂 So today, I got to the specialist after I managed to find a space at the other end of the car park. Naturally, as I approached the building itself … More Toe the line.
When we got the new fridge at the end of 2006 the old man insisted we should get extended warranty on it… luckily we did ‘cos it broke down last week! Yesterday I emptied and cleaned it out just in case it was something simple… like a need for a defrost or whatever… and plugged … More Extended Warranty: Woohoo!
So… the toe is *still* infected and looks dire (to me), however the specialist tells me it looks much as he expected it to. He also says I’ll almost certainly need another operation to ‘cauterise’ the nail to stop it regrowing since it looks like it won’t regrow onto the bed properly. The wife was … More A bit more toe stuff.
Well I’ve told you I’m blogging using what is really a pretty good piece of kit, but it’s even more versatile than I’d realised with some *really* nice plug-ins that extend and enhance it’s versatility! Do I sound impressed?? I hope so because I still am! 🙂 Trouble is same as always, for all the … More So.. what's new?
Reports in the ‘property press‘ suggest the common paper wasp has increased in numbers to almost plague proportions. The wet summer hasn’t just benefited the plants it’s benefited the animals that live off the plants… and by extension the animals that in turn live of them! Paper Wasps live off nectar *and* other insects etc … More The rise of the wasp.
