Confetti pic because this is a proper entry and not a photo dump! A long while ago, I mentioned in here having a slow cooker recipe for venison sausage cassolet, but I couldn’t find anywhere th...

I’m taking part in a book exchange through Reddit again.  These are the first two books I’ve been sent by the person who got me.  I’ve heard of Educated (I think it was through @sleepygene), so ...

I went to the gym that I had the free session.  I won’t be going again.  I mean, the pool is fine (and I was actually able to swim complete lengths without giving up) but otherwise, it’s not the...

Just had another of my epic sneezing fits.  I may have a cold. I had a successful foraging trip on Saturday.  I got the stuff for my broth and I discovered the supermarket had Sweet Baby Ray’s ...

That’s my neon yellow shorts.  Before you ask, no I will not post a pic of me wearing them.  Trust me, it’s for the best. I meant to go get my meds while in town today.  I just remembered about...

So, I’m living in a bit of a time warp every night this week.  The BBC are repeating This Life between 10 and 12 as a tribute to the producer who died recently.  It’s excellent.  If you have Bri...
