I’m not writing here so often these days. I think I’m going to try and get back into it. You have to make time for these things. Since last I wrote, what’s happened? I’ll tell you. At the weekend...

It was my birthday on Saturday and I took my wife and child to the all-you-can eat Chinese buffet in town. I sometimes wonder if we get full value for money at these places since none of us can r...

I went to the beach on Saturday with my mother, my wife, and my son. There weren’t many people, and the weather was good. It was not a nice swimming beach, but we picked up shells, explored the d...

In don’t understand the Greek situation, and economics bores the hell out of me. Don’t tell my boss, I’m supposed to get turned on by things financial. However, as far as I can see, the Greek peo...

Personal news I broke my swimming record this weekend. I did 30, yes 30, lengths on Saturday. We were due to visit mother in Devon this weekend, but cancelled due to snot and coughing. Thus we s...

It has been a most beautiful weekend. I went to the Swindon Food Show, with Greg whats-his-name from the telly. Actually I left before Greg whats-his-name came on, but we did buy pasta, chilli, s...

There was a young woman on the train this morning with headphones playing music so loud, I could hear it right down the other end of the carriage. It can’t be good for your ears. I sound like an ...

On balance, I’ve had a great weekend, but a lot of things broke. The lock on the back door has had a broken spring for weeks, and I finally got around to replacing it yesterday before it locks us...

Spent the weekend in Devon. Weather was nice enough for a BBQ on Saturday lunchtime. Felt a bit tired and worn out Sunday. A headache kept me awake all night. I felt better by Monday. There are s...

Friday and I haven’t written yet this week. It’s general election day here. It was the most boring campaign I can remember, but actually quite exciting on the day. It looked so like it was going ...

This weekend I have been working at the allotment, weeding and digging. I ache a bit now. I am hoping we get some cherries on our cherry tree. The raspberries look good, as do the blackcurrants, ...

The weekend: Another weekend at Devon with family. Even my brother showed up. Weather was nice, food was good. I took a laptop to do some work, and never turned it on. Monday: I think I’m back to...

I’m back, and I’m writing an entry. I have been away in the far east for a couple of weeks, specifically visiting relatives in Taiwan. It was a good break, though not relaxing. It never is visiti...

It was the boy’s birthday on Saturday. We got him a new bike. He needed one. The old bike was like a fairy cycle. I spent more money than I intended to, but it’s a nice bike and it has gears. He’...

It’s Friday and I got quite a good view of the eclipse this morning. It was a bit cloudy, but there was plenty of chances to see it clearly. It wasn’t a total eclipse, about 85% or something this...

I was running around all weekend, but it wasn’t bad. I even managed to take the boy to the wall of death motorbike stunt show. I’ve never seen one before. I think this sort of show is quite rare ...
