Hedgehogs again

Posted on May 30, 2001 by Gary

Tonight I went out again at about 10:30 and there were two hedgehogs snuffling madly about three path slabs away from me, totally oblivious to my presence. I went to get Mirinda but she was fast asleep.

FINALLY mowed the lawn. Back lower section took half an hour. I really like the mower. How sad is that? Mirinda keeps changing the location of the bird feeder table. Herbs are going fine this time. Used the chives and … Continue reading →

Bad night at the theatre

Posted on May 25, 2001 by Gary

Moving day

Posted on May 19, 2001 by Gary

The removalists did it all in four hours. In and out or vice versa. The house is lovely but all my herbs, except for the thyme, have proved to be nothing more than snail fodder. Farelli gave us a magnolia … Continue reading →

Before streaming

Posted on May 18, 2001 by Gary

There was a train strike today, so I had the day off to pack, ready for the big move tomorrow. Mirinda was at a conference in Richmond, sleeping at Farelli’s tonight. It took all day to pack. But I managed … Continue reading →

Cooker, theatre, and a flea

Posted on May 12, 2001 by Gary

We drove over to Guildford to buy a cooker (£400) and to see The Weir at Yvonne Arnaud. The cooker is going to be brilliant; The Weir was fabulous. Jenny, Dave’s wife in The Bill, was in it. All actors … Continue reading →
