Visiting the Island

Posted on March 31, 2013 by Gary

Fortunately, the guard on last night’s train reminded us every time the train stopped, that the clocks were due to go forward last night. Had he not been so annoying, I’m not sure we’d have known. I didn’t hear anything … Continue reading →

Thank you for the music

Posted on March 30, 2013 by Gary

A little while ago, Mirinda and I watched the movie version of Mamma Mia in separate houses. We loved it so much that I went out and immediately bought tickets to see it on the West End. To be fair, … Continue reading →

Farcical floor quote

Posted on March 29, 2013 by Gary

Kenny the floor guy was supposed to come around this afternoon/evening to quote for the bedroom floors. He didn’t turn up. I can only assume he doesn’t need the work. I will find someone else. The main problem with Kenny’s … Continue reading →

Update

Tastes differ

Posted on March 26, 2013 by Gary

I’m going to have a moan about HTML code so I can’t blame anyone for not reading much further than this overly long initial sentence. I’m presently updating the Talking Newspaper website, with input from the publicity person, Mike. For … Continue reading →

Made in Britain

Posted on March 25, 2013 by Gary

I had a frantic email from Nicktor at the end of last week to tell me that Dawn was booked out on Tuesday night this week. His concern, obviously, was that we’d miss out on our regular Nicktor Night. Easy … Continue reading →

Another freezing day

Posted on March 24, 2013 by Gary

While we didn’t have any snow down our way today, the temperature didn’t bother rising above zero. In the wind (a wind from Scandinavia, apparently) it was well below zero. It wasn’t the nicest walk into Farnham, particularly when the … Continue reading →

The white stuff

Posted on March 23, 2013 by Gary

I woke up at 6am this morning, courtesy of the poodles and a strong desire to use the toilet. When I opened the back door, so the girls could ablute, it was all sleety and cold. The sky was steely … Continue reading →

Paul not Rob

Posted on March 22, 2013 by Gary
