Butser

Posted on June 30, 2001 by Gary

An excellent day! One of the best. I caught the bus to the Butser Ancient Farm – a lovely drive (just over an hour) through the country, then a long walk. Saw a herd of deer in a field. I … Continue reading →

Deer spotting

Posted on June 29, 2001 by Gary

I saw my first Farnham deer this morning. Actually, my first three. It was just off the dirt road, in the field. There were two adults and one baby. So cute. I mowed the lawn again this afternoon. It wasn’t … Continue reading →

Well, we have tenants for the Aldershot flat. A Portuguese couple and brother of one of them. I therefore had to pop over and fit an ‘anti tilt device’ (chain and bolt, to any normal person) to cooker, cut a … Continue reading →

Every night this week, we’ve been without water (until midnight, at least). How pathetic is that? This is Third World stuff, baby!

Another massive breakfast after a second awful night’s sleep. This time the problem was Mirinda’s hay fever. It seems to have become worse. She puts it down to being allergic to Northampton and yesterday’s visit just set her off something … Continue reading →

All in a day’s roam

Posted on June 23, 2001 by Gary

I had a lousy night’s sleep. I woke in the dark, sweating like the proverbial. Mirinda had shut the window. The room has a real zoobie feel about it, so I didn’t dare open my eyes. This, of course, prevented … Continue reading →

Heading north

Posted on June 22, 2001 by Gary

I left work at 3pm so we could travel to Upton in Northamptonshire. Obviously, the M25 was a mess. So we took the back roads, which meant it took the longest time to reach the M1. It then took a … Continue reading →

Having a ball

Posted on June 15, 2001 by Gary

Went to Woking tonight and saw Having a Ball by Alan Bleasdale. Interesting play. One guy was naked for more than half of it. He was having a vasectomy so he was shaved which made him look a bit odd. … Continue reading →
