Toilet training blues

Posted on August 18, 2015 by Gary

It was so much easier with the poodles. We were living at East Worldham and we just kept them outside on the grass all day. We were both working so they had no choice. It has to be the worst … Continue reading →

Is it poo?

Posted on May 23, 2015 by Gary

I went to Lords today (not Lourdes, as Mirinda wondered, thinking I was going to Spain) to watch the second day of the first test between England and New Zealand. I’d never been to Lords before and was really looking … Continue reading →

Unexpected gig

Posted on May 6, 2015 by Gary

Today I finished the fence around the Wildflower Patch. It wasn’t as straightforward as it should have been, given I made a good start yesterday. The trouble started when I unrolled a new length of caging wire. I laid it … Continue reading →

Not defying gravity

Posted on August 13, 2014 by Gary

Yesterday I woke up to the news that Robin Williams had died. This morning it was Lauren Bacall. I’m thinking that waking up and listening to the radio is not the most joyful thing I could do each day. And … Continue reading →

Who let the cows out?

Posted on May 20, 2014 by Gary

For the last week, I’ve been trying to buy a box of tiles so we can see if we like them before putting in a massive order for the entire back of the house (and terrace). You’d think it would … Continue reading →

Chancer

Posted on March 18, 2014 by Gary

Tonight we had the last Nicktor Night for a while…probably sometime around September. Oddly, Nicktor didn’t stay but drove home, into the night, following the final episode of Chancer. We’ve been watching Chancer for ages and it’s rather sad that … Continue reading →

Blood and water

Posted on January 14, 2014 by Gary

Ah, Nicktor Night. They come round so soon. Hopefully we’ll not miss them too much when the extension work starts. At the Albion, we decided to mix things up a bit because Nicktor had had ham, egg and chips for … Continue reading →
