Posted on May 1, 2014 by Gary

I had a Talking Newspaper today. Which meant I didn’t get to sit in on the full meeting with Paul, our landscape designer. Good job Mirinda could. Anyway, the design is looking fantastic and, hopefully we’ll have some working drawings … Continue reading →

Occasional clouds

Posted on April 21, 2014 by Gary

Following the rain yesterday (the first for ages) today’s forecast was for occasional clouds with showers. First thing, it was hard to imagine the day was going to be anything but perfectly blue. I headed out for Starbucks and Waitrose … Continue reading →

Tummy trouble

Posted on April 20, 2014 by Gary

Just to set the record straight. An over indulgence in Easter eggs was not the cause of Mirinda’s upset stomach. It was more likely caused by Savoy sweets and Royal China takeaway. Either singularly or combined. Whatever the cause, Mirinda … 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 →

The rain didn’t help

Posted on March 1, 2014 by Gary

Footings and football

Posted on February 25, 2014 by Gary

Tonight I went (with Nicktor and Bill) to my twelfth football ground, Prince’s Park. While this is nothing when compared with Nicktor’s (or Bill’s for that matter) tally, I reckon it’s not a bad total over about ten years. It … Continue reading →

Feb in Jan

Posted on January 26, 2014 by Gary

Another day of rain, briefly interrupted by an hour of blue. It’s like February. Most of the day, Mirinda spent working. She has an acquisition to work through which seems to get more complex with every turn of the printed … Continue reading →

Miserable weather

Posted on January 16, 2014 by Gary

Sad news today with the death of Roger Lloyd-Pack. While he is generally best known for playing Trigger in Only Fools and Horses and as Owen in The Vicar of Dibley, I was fortunate to see him live on stage … Continue reading →

Blood and water

Posted on January 14, 2014 by Gary
