While I was in town to get my eyes seen to I did some browsing. I had a little time to kill before my appointment, and then more time afterwards while waiting for Jayne to finish work and come down to help me choose frames. (I don’t really care what glasses look like: I only […]

Country Life

We had some good news today up here in the grim North. The planning application for a fairly large Tesco store in our village, on very busy crossroads that snarl up as soon as a bus has to pick up more than a few passengers at a time, has been rejected by 6 votes to […]

Song with no title….
November 23rd, 2008 · 2 Comments · Jane
After only one very small cheat ( I am a bit anal with my photo folders and like them it proper alphabetical order but I hadn’t tidied them up for a few weeks so I sorted them before I chose the picture…) I found the 4th picture in my 4th folder. These are himalyan blue […]

Weather With You
October 25th, 2008 · Comments Off on Weather With You · Jane
I don’t know if Skuds has noticed this but whenever I am involved in a Friends of the Earth day of action, as I was today, the weather is always awful. In April, when we were campaigning on including aviation and shipping emissions in the UK targets, it snowed; in the summer, when we were […]

Co-incidence…

Can’t think of an appropriate song title but…. I just had the quote over the photo at the top and the random song lyric match. Do I win?

Blowin’ in the Wind
September 30th, 2008 · Comments Off on Blowin’ in the Wind · Jane
As big bruv points out (in the fine print, I’m told) I haven’t posted anything for a while. I will happily blame work for this – a University is a fairly lively place to be working in September & October – and it even helped me to forget Skuds’ birthday…. I do still have time […]

Hounds of Love
August 3rd, 2008 · 3 Comments · Jane
Now that Skuds has got a name for his kitten (not a bad name – I hope it doesn’t get too confused about which name it is going to totally ignore….) I thought I would try to get a name for our newest family member. No rush mind since it isn’t really real and is […]
Chinese Democracy
August 3rd, 2008 · Comments Off on Chinese Democracy · Jane, Music, Politics
Not another ‘leaked track’ but something that all the fuss about the Olympics reminded me about. I had to go trawling through You Tube (not something I do very often…) but found a clip of Cui Jian, a chinese singer whose song ‘Nothing to my Name’ became an anthem for protesters at Tiananmen Square. I […]
Feed the World?
July 26th, 2008 · Comments Off on Feed the World? · Jane, Politics
Just to show that Skuds isn’t the only one who can use song titles for his posts…. We have been a touch busy recently and, among other things, we spent a very rainy Saturday last week helping the Huddersfield Friends of the Earth Group in their protest against EU Biofuels targets. (I’m holding the % […]

Dance group
June 21st, 2008 · 1 Comment · Jane
Dance group, originally uploaded by Skuds’ Sister. This is by way of testing the blog this button on Flickr. Dance music was great while there was dancing – when it was just music I recalled that I don’t much like any dance music, in whatever language…
