Good morning - a breezy day ere - but sunshine - and it’s great to have a fresher feel to the weather. The cold is hanging a round with catarrh - and SW.. is coughing that up too - but hopefully ...

---

Having complained about the heat in London let me moan about the rain here - and the fact that I started a head cold on Friday - and catarrh is all a round! Still, there were good memories of the...

---

I first went to London on my own when I was 13 - we only lived 20 miles away and it was easy to get there - my mum warned me about men in public toilets - although I had no idea what she was gett...

---

Good afternoon from the National Gallery in London. It is C32 degrees outside and I am downstairs on a nice easy chair surrounded by young Japanese tourists checking on their phones. SW.... Is at...

---

In the past July and August were known as the ‘silly season’ for newspapers. Politicians went on holiday - as did everyone else - and so the papers relied on odd stories - nothing too serious. No...

---

The pirouettes of power we have been having in the UK over the last week fade into insignificance against the carnage in Nice - a fete and festival destroyed and so many lives gone and others cha...

---

A long time since I got a chance to come on here to write. I have been reading, but such is the pace of life - and not a lot of chance to have some private time - I have had to store up a lot of ...

---

Too much sport yesterday. From Federer and Murray winning in five sets at Wimbledon to Wales succumbing to Portugal (as forecast) in the evening. And it seemed to rain all day here too. So one of...

---

While much of England seems to be bathes in sunshine (including Wimbledon) we seem to be catching some rain here - and it really pisses you off. I managed to cut the lawns in periods of relative ...

Happy 4th of July to my US readers and a little something to brighten your day

---

---

Yep, they were on display as she had a win in three sets over another American, Miss McHale. I know I should be concentrating on the quality of the tennis, and it was very good, but I must admit ...

---

At about 8 pm last night the my internet connection dropped off. There were no machines on, or being used, and since it does sometimes go off when under pressure I thought it would soon come back...

---

This may be getting a bit boring for anyone not in the UK or not interested in politics - but since this the only forum I have to get things out of my mind bear with me if you keep reading. So Bo...

---

Good morning Irrrespective of the fact that the country is leaderless - adrift in a sea of conjecture and hate I feel quite chipper today. Not sure why - unless it is the thought of taking on my ...

---

No, not one of my kinks - I can get enough of that at home!!! As my regular readers (Carrie and Ben Dover) will know I have a continuing dislike (I was going to say hatred - but that would not b...

---

I was sent a postcard of this gargoyle a long time ago and I found it again when looking through my Photofucket collection - it seems even more relevant this morning as the Labour Party implode...

---

Needless to say I voted Remain - and the majority of the country - 52% to 48% decided to leave. Not a big margin - and just shows how divided the country is - and not just on this - the returns s...

---

So, I have done my democratic duty - voted in the referendum - and I just hope it goes the right way. I wonder if the storms and floods in London will affect the turnout there - but much of the c...

---

A couple more old funnies today : Tomorrow we vote in the referendum on leaving the EU - I am not a fan of this kind of direct democracy - even if the side I support wins.

---

What does your online diary name mean, and why did you pick it? Black Propaganda in the Second World War was a means to influence the enemy through a form of propaganda which had the ring of trut...

---

Father’s Day here today. I have one card to open from younger son (and grandsons?) - the elder one ignores the niceties of commercialism but I may get a phone call later. I have no doubt the card...

---

I did not intend to write this entry today - I had something else to comment on - but as I was watching the England-Wales soccer match in France the news came up on the news channel on my phone t...

---

An overcast Sunday here, but warm - rain is always likely - so everything is growing fast - and worth taking this bud inside - with the fresh rain drops on it! Yesterday I went out with a large ...
