Posted on March 21, 2014 by Gary

At the museum today, Nick at Work (“You WORK? Doing what?” said Dave the Builder, yesterday) told me the bad news. During my absence there’d been a change of policy when it comes to researching the objects and people that … Continue reading →

Not only the brickies turned up today but also Dave the Builder, Tim the Electrical Engineer (not a sparky), a plumber and a boiler specialist. There was a big conflab, mainly in the dining room, while Paul and Clive cracked … Continue reading →

The builders returned today. Paul the Brickie was quite pleased to get away, having been told off by the neighbour every day he’d worked on the chimney. They added some bricks to the ever growing walls and generally worked in … Continue reading →

Smoke and mirrors

Posted on March 15, 2014 by Gary

Pi and chips

Posted on March 14, 2014 by Gary

Today was National Pi Day in the US. I think the people who organise Pi events would like it to be worldwide. If so, they should stop saying it’s because March 14, in American is numerically 3.14…which is the beginning … Continue reading →

Long day for Day-z

Posted on March 13, 2014 by Gary

Until today, Day-z hadn’t spent more than a short while entirely on her own before. But Mirinda had to go to work and I had a Talking Newspaper so today was inevitable. I locked her behind the Heras fencing (mainly … Continue reading →

All about the garden

Posted on March 12, 2014 by Gary
