Lee returns

Posted on August 7, 2014 by Gary

Welding

Posted on April 9, 2014 by Gary

Being a Wednesday I should be reporting on Date Night, but, instead I went to Farnham to check up on the builders. I do feel my life is a bit topsy turvy at the moment. And it was a beautiful … Continue reading →

It’s a door

Posted on March 27, 2014 by Gary

What an odd weather day it was. When the sky was grey and leaden, it didn’t rain but once the clouds parted and a bit of sun shone through, it poured with rain. After lunch, I was sitting in the … Continue reading →

Timing and timing again

Posted on February 21, 2014 by Gary

A few years ago, I wrote a blog post about timing. I’m sure no-one remembers it. To be fair, I only remember it because, recently it came up on the list of posts made on this day each year. Well, … Continue reading →

Temporary abode

Posted on February 17, 2014 by Gary

Mirinda was supposed to have a book group meeting today to discuss 18th century poetry. Unfortunately, Chawton House Library had a flooded driveway with access limited to boats and seals. It was, therefore, cancelled. So, rather than waste a holiday, … Continue reading →

Builders two

Posted on October 23, 2013 by Gary

This afternoon, I was just about to take the poodles to the park when there was a knock at the door. It was Frank, a young chap who had been working down the street, trimming trees and hedges. He’d finished … Continue reading →

An extension of mess

Posted on September 24, 2012 by Gary

I’ve mentioned before that the Crazies are having an extension built on the back of their house. It’s been interesting watching the progress (I have a clear view from my (soon to be ex) study upstairs). The scaffold has gone … Continue reading →
