Once a supplement to our, now defunct, website but now more of a personal peep through my window at the world, but still mostly drivel

Time passes and again it is just about Alice’s fly out date. So I am pretty browned off, balanced by the knowledge that just over a week later I fly to join her, so I’m up, then down, then back up again. Doesn’t give my emotions time to settle at all and leaves me in [...]

The UK seems to have a problem with my money, which is surprisingly little considering how long I have been abroad. These days I get my fee offshore in GBP, which unhappily is 30% less in value to me that when I accepted this contract. But do I complain? Of course not. A contract is [...]

You can’t help but respect this guy’s views. “Speaking of retarded things people do, am I the only one getting fed up with these cutesy ”party” groups? The Tea Party, The Coffee Party….each with their own pathetic self-involved axe to grind? You know what party I would join? The Jack Daniels Party. That’s where anyone who wants to [...]

Why, after nineteen years of marriage, Alice should still set me aflame I really cannot tell. Having said that it can go too far, setting my heart aflame is quite acceptable but the times that the little hair remaining joins the heart is a shade disconcerting and, to my mind, is better avoided. If for [...]

Our Pajero has given sterling service over the years but it is getting a shade long in the tooth these days and it is time for a bit of thought on its replacement. Mama and Alice waving through the roof will be sorry to see it go but sometimes one has to bite the bullet [...]

. . . to be thinking of my leave, but I am. Alice sets off in 9 days and I follow 8 days later. The flat will, as usual, be very empty without her as the centre piece but at least it’s not a bad place to live compared to some I have had out [...]

Mama is discharged from hospital I and glad to say. And another improvement is that I am not so far from leave time, when yet again I will be heading off to fun and frolics on the paraffin budgie. Some people actually come to Qatar for holidays, I cannot see why myself as although the [...]

After Alice got back there was a worrying period. When she left the Phils my mother-in-law, known all and sundry as Mama, was under the weather with a bad sore throat. Which was getting worse and worse. Quite opposite to the normal UK standards, I like Mama, as shown by our dancing on the day [...]

I always thought he was dotty but I was not prepared for the strength of feeling against me.

Well, as can be imagined my life is much improved now Alice is back. Mind you I had to polish myself up a bit after the casual bachelor existence of the last couple of weeks. And of course the casual fast food also has to go. A pity really as I kept up my exercises [...]
