Two legs good, eight legs bad

Posted on December 17, 2013 by Gary

Tonight, we watched the worst movie we have ever seen on a Nicktor Night. It was called Payback Season…It should have been called Absolute Crap. This piece of rubbish, disguised as a movie, had absolutely nothing good about it. A … Continue reading →

Perfect Nonsense

Posted on December 14, 2013 by Gary

We had a theatre-in-London day today. Ages ago we booked two excellent seats in the Duke of York’s theatre to see Stephen Mangan and Matthew Macfadyen in a delightful new Jeeves and Wooster. It was the funniest thing we’ve seen … Continue reading →

Sherbert lemons

Posted on December 10, 2013 by Gary

When we eat at the Albion (almost every Tuesday night) we generally sit at the same table. There’s no real reason why we chose the table over any of the others, but, being horrendous creatures of habit, Nicktor and I … Continue reading →

GSE!

Posted on December 3, 2013 by Gary

Almost a big nothing

Posted on November 13, 2013 by Gary

Alas, I have no Doha update today. For reasons I am not yet aware of, Mirinda wasn’t able to talk tonight. I have, however, seen a photograph of Ben (on Facebook) on a camel, so their trip to the desert … Continue reading →

Live theatre, rocks

Posted on October 13, 2013 by Gary

Double Feature

Posted on September 10, 2013 by Gary

The morning was spent cutting up seven small squares of chipboard, priming them white then painting them in various shades of blue. I had them spread out on a drop cloth, laid out of the dining table. It looked quite … Continue reading →

Almost fully recovered

Posted on July 23, 2013 by Gary

Well, Nicktor managed to survive the week following his strange episode last Tuesday. He visited the doctor, had blood tests, ECG and almost an x-ray and it all looks fine. He’s supposed to see the doctor tomorrow to maybe find … Continue reading →

The Good Life

Posted on June 22, 2013 by Gary

Ages ago, we booked tickets to see Relatively Speaking at the Wyndham. Rather than our usual London day including a matinee of some West End performance, we decided to try an evening time slot. We also decided to try the … Continue reading →
