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

We had a report from the Philippines yesterday that eleven piglets were born and that fifteen of our four month old young pigs were sold. By that time they are far bigger of course and in spite of the cost of pig food they show a better profit. As I am fond of leg of [...]

I am lucky that I get kisses of life, rather than death, from my charming wife. No wonder we are looking forward so much to our retirement to the Philippines!

I was foolish enough to mention our son’s girlfriend in a recent mutter. Of course this was the Kiss of Death and they have now split up. I do not know the reasons behind this but I understand it was fairly amicable so I think he probably managed to avoid the failure to repeat certain [...]

I have been less good at the diet this week and yet I have a strong desire to go out with Alice for a feed. Luckily it is the food rather than the striking wait staff uniforms that attracts me or I might be in some danger. But of course my liking is for being [...]

I enjoy travel, just as well since my work has carried me around the world, often lost, sometimes terrified and always surprised by the interesting people I meet. Although to be honest I prefer them without snakes. Still my 4×4 and pet frog get us through most things and being lost is not so bad, [...]

I know nothing about politics and have no desire to learn. Having said that I am interested to see that at long last the UK papers are questioning “the special relationship” which I may say seemed to me to show only that the USA said jump and UK jumped and then asked when they could [...]

You would think I would learn, wouldn’t you. But I don’t! It came to me that in spite of my troubles Alice was going on quite well with dreaded snake virus killer (she runs Vista Ultimate whereas I run Win7 Ultimate). So I was fearful of having the defamation police drop by and I decided [...]

It’s a damn nuisance all the health warnings one gets, even if my weight is reducing the medicos say it should be faster. As this picture may be a little small, and the viewer too idle to click on it, I tell you the message. “Obesity is suicide”. And I love sausages, even English ones [...]

Unlike many, my youngest son appears lacking in balance, he tells me that he slipped on the stairs and the laptop XPS M1730 took a dive at the wall and this is the reason he managed to break off a corner. I do rather feel that this is a less than satisfactory excuse, why wasn’t [...]

I strive for elegance in all things, although admitting that it can be hard to get it just right. And it is noticeable that when I hit the beer rather than the wine I seem somehow to have a rather less elegant, but possibly more enthusiastic, look about me. And I do admit that my [...]

Fridays, how I look forward to them, until the day that the aircon dies in the middle of Thursday night. There is zero hope of getting it fixed on a Friday and even turning to my own wine does little to alleviate my problem. It’s not so hot now, just about 46°C by day, so [...]

I am not a great lover (some people might say a full stop should be placed there!) of fast food and take aways. Somehow a “proper” restaurant seems more to my taste, and as a world wanderer of course I have had plenty of varied experiences in the food line. So I was deeply disappointed [...]

Although I can get tired at work, nothing unusual there I guess, I do have a pretty good life, even if my liking for Lemmy is not matched by Alice. But then I would hate her to be a tattooed biker girl. Especially since I made a habit of falling off my motorbikes (and one [...]

Why is it that finding the great photo is always after one has just published a blog? Why is it that in spite of being an expat and having worked with so many nationalities I still occasionally fail in understanding? A recent American comment had me confused (Brits don’t really speak the same language no [...]
