The Scots are today voting on independence. The one person in our office who I know considers himself to be Scottish is wearing a Union Jack t-shirt. I think it’s a sign. I still think they are ...

We had friends visit on Sunday and it all turned into rather a dinner party. I’m not sure I like arranged gatherings, but it was nice. The food was good and teh children were well behaved. I’m pl...

---

So the Scottish referendum is coming up and there is panic in several political camps. I am not interested. I suppose I should be, but I’m not. It has been suggested at the office however that we...

---

Wrote this on Friday, but never finished it… So today we have to say goodbye to the legendary Joan Rivers. I think she was the funniest woman on earth. I’m going to miss her. There seems to be a ...

Dream Lounge First day of September. I guess that means it’s officially Autumn. It’s hard to think of anything that makes me happy about this. I did however think of two things; firstly it’s nea...

It’s starting to seem Autumnal, and I really don’t like it. I’m a summer person. This time of year is sad to me. It’s the end of light evenings and warm days. It’s teh stat of central heating bre...

Conversation with the boy last night... Boy - "Guess what's the most important thing in the world to me." Me - "Daddy?" Boy - "No, but very close, it's family." Me - "Yes, family is very impo...

I haven't written all week, shameful, shameful! I haven't had the need or the desire. I'm also busy at work which means my time wasting opportunities in the office are limited. However, when I do...

OK, a quick run-down of my 47th birthday weekend, in which we learn that I am refusing to act my age. Breakfast on new hand painted crockery. And yes that is a zombie mug: Made some of this (...

Good morning, the weather is fine and summery, the allotment is bearing fruit (and vegetables) and all is right with the world. Did I already write about the Ribena drink I made from blackcurrant...

I have ordered some skateboard parts. I'm still thinking about trying to build my own deck from maple veneer. In fact I have sourced some maple already. Not only that, but I have found a skateboa...

---

I haven't written for ages, and I'm going to make an effort to write more often. I don't think I like the PB bookmark listing thing which only lists entries you haven't read yet by default. If yo...

I'll be honest, I'm not having the best week. I mean, by international standards I'm still doing fine. I have my family, my home, my health, enough to eat etc. I don't however have a bicycle. I k...

I've got a new smart phone. In fact it's smarted than me. I haven't learnt how to fly it yet. It's an HTC One mini 2. I wanted an HTC One M8, but that would have meant re re-mortgaging the house....

---

I haven't written anything all week. I don't like it when that happens. The weekend seems so far away now, I can't even remember what we did. I know it was busy. We did do a car boot sale and so...

---

Did I mention the curtains? We spent a lot of money on curtains at the weekend. Last night I hung them, and almost had a disaster. They of course come flat, and one has to pull the strings to gat...

---

The weather was beautiful this weekend, so I took advantage of the fact and spent some time on the allotment. It's not quite fully used, but it's looking much better than last year and I am parti...

---

Malmesbury is a funny little Wiltshire town. I know it for the Abbey House Gardens, which are adjacent to the now mostly ruined, Malmesbury Abbey. They are owned and maintained by Ian and Barbara...

I have much I want to say, and not much time in which to put the words on the screen. Firstly, lets have a quick run down of what I did this weekend. On Saturday the Dragon had a lunch appointme...

---

I haven't written anything all week. This makes me sad. It's not that I haven't wanted to. I simply haven't got around to it. It's been a week in which every spare moment seems to have been fille...

---

I worked from home on Friday because our living room furniture was being delivered. We now have somewhere to sit in the living room. It's quite a novelty. I was determined to sit and watch someth...

---

OK, two things I want to write about today, one political, and one nudity related. Lets get the political one out of the way first. David Cameron has dropped a gigantic bollock by suggesting last...

I've been away in Taiwan for the last 2 weeks. I had a good time, as I always do in Taiwan. The weather was hot and sunny. The people were wonderful, as always, and I ate too much. I actually loo...
