I decided the other day to Spring clean my computer. That is to say, have a look back at a lot of old stuff I’ve collected over the years. I think it’s fair to say my tastes must have changed, because quite a lot of it was rubbish and got deleted, but then I came […]

Fancy a bit of silliness for the New Year? It might make you smile, and let’s be honest we could all do with a smile, or better still a laugh in these dark times. So let’s begin. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

Traditionally this is the time of year when I would look back over the last 12 months, the highs the lows and all the bits in between, but what can I write about 2020 that hasn’t already been said? My personal highlights were the holiday on the Isle of Skye in February, and moving house […]

Having assembled my tools and equipment, attached the ceiling rose and taken time out to help trim the ivy around the bus stop, I had no choice left but to start decorating. For me it’s very much a ‘Mastermind’ moment, “I’ve started so I’ll finish” and I have to work up to it, sneak up […]

Those of you who are old enough might remember the 1960’s hit by ‘The Hollies’ with the same name. Well I have a bus stop at no.14, though you could be forgiven for not knowing. I’ve never seen a person standing at it or alighting in the 6 months I’ve been here. Perhaps it’s because […]

Having gone as far as I can reasonably go in the garden at no.14, I’m turning my attention to the inside. Six and a bit years on from starting ‘Grassy Bottom’, it’s feeling a bit like déjà vu.

Several years ago I had a small fleshy wart on my arm. It didn’t hurt and wasn’t unsightly but it did catch on short-sleeved shirts which was just plain annoying.

I’m pleased to say the kittens in Scotland are doing well. Janice can’t get any jobs done and Graham can’t spin his wool in the shed, but the 7 little furry bundles of mischief, fun and energy are thriving. So that’s alright then!
