I was hoping for a stroll today after my new toy arrived but the rain swept in again so I messed on here and messenger between baking. The rain relented so I thought I would make a dash for freedom,alas I only got half a mile before it set in again,I was

The footie starts again this weekend and both of my teams are in action. My number two team Celtic kick off this lunch time and are on the goggle box. My number one team Liverpool start tomorrow. Celtic should have an easy run to the title but you never

Funny the things that pop into your head waiting for dinner to finish cooking. I just heard Barry Manilow on the radio. We have only one thing in common we were born on the same day,other than that our lives have been completely different of course. He is

I never cooked until I left home and spent a short time in bed sit land sharing digs with a giant Geordie contractor. Even then it hardly passed for cooking, everything that fitted into a frying pan was our fare. The rest was take aways a new thing in our

I managed to get 5 miles in this morning before the rain started again. I walked over to get some pipe fodder,going through the little haven and coming back via the dockside. I snapped a couple of rabbits amongst the greenery in the haven before carrying

When I started my internet adventure a mere 4 years ago I joined 360. The only reason was I got it free with BT. I stumbled about for a couple of days worse than usless in this new world until I was rescued by Sweetie my first internet contact. From those

I had a text message from Jenny they are having a grand time and to my surprise she told me it is hot there. That's amazing for Turkey in August don't you think? No me neither I think she has been too long in the sun or supping a lot of the falling down

If you read my earlier blog you will know my day didn't start on a good note. Since then things have changed. The good news is the last of my medical checks were good and the Doc is pleased although he still wants me to lose 10lb to keep my BMI spot on.

I had 24 smarties who stood up and read my blog asking for info but none was forthcoming with anything new. In fact only 6 of you knew how to type which gives me doubts about just how smart the rest were,or maybe they are super smart and saying smugly to

The hob didn't arrive today but the dates was between 3 and 5 days so no problem.I took that option because it was free,I could have paid £12 to get it yesterday but there is no big panic. This meant I had a quiet day just pottering. I had another text

Today is a better day,still windy but for the moment it's dry. I am going to make a break for freedom later and pay the Numpties a visit. It's a while since I saw them so no doubt they will have new tales of woe to tell me. They spend their lives bumbling

I have returned from the dangers of the mainland back to God's Island. I paid a visit to the The numpty house as part of my care in the community work. My first job was finding anything pointy so they would come to no harm and then hiding it. They are not

More rain after a dry morning a huge thunder storm rattled through and dumped a lot of water on us. The sun returned for a little while later but didn't last long. I was over at the Numpties again setting a wireless connection up for their new neighbours

I decided on a walk up to pebble beach this morning with the aim of strolling south through Thorney Nook to the village and cutting back along the channel side. This plan depended on the recent floods subsiding but alas they hadn't. When I got half way

I had to go to town this morning so I wandered around the park. I was in good nick as usual and I had a good chat to the local birds, Geese mostly. They are very friendly now a big change from when they have young chicks when as you can understand they
