Posted on September 10, 2013 by Gary

Many handles

Posted on August 20, 2013 by Gary

Today I made a start on the chest of drawers. It was a bit involved because of the different handles. Naturally they all have holes in different places as well as different designs. Not to mention the different sizes. Because … Continue reading →

Essential gardening

Posted on June 11, 2013 by Gary

Today was spent, almost exclusively, in the garden (I’m going to ache tomorrow), as I made a start repairing the weed drenched hot border. The weather, at first, didn’t shine kindly on me. Actually it didn’t shine at all, a … Continue reading →

Early spring

Posted on March 5, 2013 by Gary

What a beautiful day we had today. The temperature was in double figures and the sky was wonderfully blue. Our crocuses looked lovely as they opened to smile at the sun and the daffs are about to burst into yellow … Continue reading →

Irish police

Posted on February 5, 2013 by Gary

Ages ago, on a Nicktor Night far, far away, we watched the unexpectedly superb movie In Bruges. We both thoroughly enjoyed it, not least because of the sparkling dialogue and great humour. Like Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking … Continue reading →
