So, we spent the weekend in Devon because it was Mothers' day and coincidentally my mother's birthday too. It was pretty good. The boy got a few extra presents from his grandma and uncle because ...

There was almost a fight on the bus this morning over a cup of coffee. It would appear the bus company enforce a strict no coffee cup rule on their buses. Plastic or metal types of cup with screw...

---

So, Fred Phelps is dead then. What a perfectly vile man he was. Let's hope his equally vile family members now do the right thing and disband his disgusting church. Not very likely since there ha...

---

This weekend I have been rebuilding the fence at the allotment. I bought two 25m rolls of chicken wire and 10 bloody great wooden fence posts. I spent all Saturday putting up my new fence and mak...

In answer to the request from Jordan, I don't know if I have any pictures of the Caribbean party. The dragon may have taken some, but I will post if I can find any. It was all high drama in the ...

Regarding my last entry, I've sent my thoughts to my theoretical physicist friend. If he agrees with me I'm clearly a genius. If he doesn't I'll take up poetry or something. Things have gone hyp...

OK, stand back everyone, we're going to do some science... I saw something on facebook yesterday. It was a picture of people base-jumping beneath the words, "Dear Creationists: Remember, gravi...

Stand by for pictures... As hinted at in the previous entry, I thought I might try a post that examined a few entries from my personal library as I restocked the shelves. Those are mostly cl...

I just finished reading The Fault in our Stars, by John Green. I loved and hated it in about equal measure. It's beautifully written, but if you read it, it's going to make you cry. Don't read it...

Look at the mushrooms I grew: As you may be aware, I'm fairly hardcore atheist. But, although I really don't believe in anything religious, I rather like the Turin Shroud. I like it because ...

---

So, this is my first entry since OD finally rolled over and died. It would have been less painful if it had been executed earlier. The slow death was not pleasant to watch. It would seem that Ke...

---

I have read much about the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman in the last 48 hours. Each report describes him as an extraordinary talent who will be sadly missed. It seems he was found dead on his ...

---

Things I got done on Saturday. Got up around 7, organised child, gave dragon birthday presents, took family out for breakfast and shopping at Tesco. Visited post office on way home to pick up...

I have slight feeling of excitement about Prosebox now I've started using it. There moves afoot to make it illegal to smoke in a car carrying children. It doesn't sit comfortably with me. I thin...

---

It's been a long time coming. I'm glad that finally the decision has been made. I only wish they'd been more honest about it from the start. I'm going to give PB a try. I know I have said it befo...
