January 20th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Life

Anyone who finds it very hard to get truly dreadful, traumatic mental images out of their brain should not read any further…

The longest day

January 5th, 2009 · Comments Off on The longest day · Work

Isn’t the first day back at work after Christmas horrible?   You reach that mid-morning point where you really need a coffee and then realise that for the last week you wouldn’t have even been up by that time.  This year is even worse since we are all going back on a Monday and therefore have […]

Sailing On The Seven Seas

October 26th, 2008 · 5 Comments · Politics

I have been to Corfu on holiday a total of four times.  I would happily go back again, in fact Jayne and I have thought it would be a decent place to retire to.  Here is a little secret about the place that I will happily pass on to the likes of Osborne and Mandelson: […]

Holidays In The Sun

August 3rd, 2008 · Comments Off on Holidays In The Sun · Life

Carlsberg don’t do holidays, but if they did…  they wouldn’t let me anywhere near them!   The rest of the family are convinced I am jinxed when it comes to weather and holidays.  They have gone off with the tent in the past, spending a few days away during school holidays while I am at work, […]

School’s Out

July 26th, 2008 · Comments Off on School’s Out · Work

School holidays started this week.  There is something depressing about continuing to go into work every day when the Mrs. keeps reminding you how she is off for the next five-and-a-half weeks.  It would help if she didn’t keep rubbing it in so much.  It was already bad enough being there while everyone else in […]

Paris

June 14th, 2008 · Comments Off on Paris · Jane

This looks like graffiti artists are much more advanced in Paris than they are round here. I love walking around a city, turning a corner and finding something like this. It makes all those times I get lost worth it.

Back from Paris

June 7th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Jane

Well, we are back from our flying visit to Paris. Many photos to download and label – mostly flowers. My best advice to anyone visiting Paris is don’t try to do Giverney and the Louvre on the same day! We couldn’t do anything on our last day apart from moan about how tired our legs […]

I don’t want a holiday in the sun

June 1st, 2008 · 1 Comment · Life

Its always a pleasure to use an old Sex Pistols lyric for a title… anyway, the Skuds family recently returned from a short camping holiday in West Yorkshire, and one thing you can say for certain is that it was no holiday in the sun. We were up there for the half-term break, and travelled […]

Back to work

January 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Work

I am looking forward to tomorrow: Jayne is back at work, Chrystal is back at school and Charlie is back at college.  I went back to work on Jan 2nd and it has been really annoying getting up and going out while everyone else is still snoozing.

So that was 2007?

January 1st, 2008 · Comments Off on So that was 2007? · Life, Music

At this time of year it is practically obligatory to look back on the year which has just finished and ponder on it a bit.
