I have been putting off going through my photos for a while because it was a bit daunting, but now I have started and it turns out to be a much better way to pass an evening than watching TV and I have already scanned in some of my favourites from two albums which cover […]

Scanning and planning

I have been quite busy over the last few weeks. We have been doing a bit of decorating to make it more likely we will be able to move – and so that it is more pleasant to live if we stay here. Before that I had to fill in the holes in the wall […]

Here comes the sun

Jayne and I went down to Dorset for the day today to see the Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival. I checked the weather forecast on the BBC yesterday and it gave variations of ‘white cloud’, ‘grey cloud’ and ‘black cloud’ throughout the day, with maximum temperatures of about 18C. What we actually got was bright sunshine, mostly […]

Bristol fashion

Jayne and I were very impressed by Bristol at the weekend. Although I had been there before it was a very long time ago and all I can really remember about it from then is the CLifton suspension bridge. I knew it was the home of Banksy, Concorde, Johnny Morris and Wallace and Grommit as […]
Unsolicited testimonial

Jayne and I enjoyed a short break in Bristol. More of that later, but for now I want to praise the hotel we stayed in – The Bristol Hotel. It is not cheap, in absolute terms, but for a two-night stay we were happy to fork out for a bit of comfort.  Having said that, […]

Watching the cats playing in the garden today finally made me realise something. Diego was investigating a bit of grass and Chiquita had sneaked up behind him, was about a metre away and doing that low-slung bum-wiggling that cats do when they are winding up to pounce. He spotted her and she chased him. It […]

Maybe my plans for world domination fell at the first hurdle but that hasn’t stopped young Diego from becoming a superstar. Last week I got a Flickr mail from somebody asking if they could use my photos on their website, and yesterday Diego was kitteh of the day on The Daily Kitten. He celebrated in […]

Hustings #2
April 30th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Politics
In the Horsham part of this general election hustings are like buses: you wait ages and ages and then three turn up at once. Yesterday we had the event in Crawley Down and at lunchtime today it was Collyer’s school in Horsham, where the audience was not only younger but also considerably larger.
Hustings #1
April 30th, 2010 · Comments Off on Hustings #1 · Politics
Yesterday we had the first hustings of the election which, at just seven days before election day, is maybe a bit later than normal to be starting this sort of thing. Not only was it the first one of this election in Horsham but the first one I have ever done myself.
