Holidays always seem to be over so quickly.. Two weeks have flown by and its back to work tomorrow, so time to worry about all the usual things: Can I still remember all my passwords? Can I still remember how to get to the office? Will I be able to get up early? How many […]

Its the wrong time of year (probably) and its the wrong type of weather (I imagine) but today we suddenly decided to do some gardening. We have had gift vouchers knocking around for nearly two years and finally got around to using them today, buying 7 plants and some compost. At least we were sensible […]
Isle of Wight highlights

The weather was a bit poor, but our week under canvas still had plenty of highlights. For a start there was the campsite itself. The showers and toilets were quite civilised and there was even a bath. We only have a shower at home so I enjoyed the novelty of lounging in a bath one […]

The reason for the total lack of activity here (apart from Richard and Danivon bashing their heads together in the comments) is that I have been away on holiday. In a fit of misplaced optimism about the weather prospects we booked a week camping on the Isle of Wight and just got back yesterday. We […]
Under Canvas

Jayne is away with the kids and her sister and her sister’s family. All together there are 3 adults, 5 teens, 3 children and a baby. Camping. I declined on the grounds that thirteen is an unlucky number and I don’t do screaming babies in fields, and felt vindicated in my decision when we woke […]
Three counties tour

Yesterday we took advantage of the bank holiday and took the new car out for a longer journey to check it out. The journey was a bit longer than intended as we got a bit lost… The intention was to go out to see Dungeness and Rye. Somehow we went via Maidstone. Still, it was […]
So that was 2006?

There is still a week to go before the end, but I am going to assume nothing much will happen in that time – or should that be hope that nothing will happen (bearing in mind the terrorist fears in today’s Observer)? It has been a mixed year really. Music As far as music is […]

Over the top?
December 6th, 2006 · 8 Comments · Life
Our new neighbours over the road have gone just that little bit further than most other households with their Christmas decorations – and bear in mind that a lot of houses here are festooned with flashing lights. They have a decorated tree in the middle of the front garden, and under the kitchen window is […]

Its that time again

Jayne keeps asking me what I want for Christmas, and I know that “a decent lie-in, no flashing lights all over the house, and no fuss” is not an acceptable answer. It is a real problem time of year, everyone thinks that I secretly enjoy it but like to put on a bah-humbug act. I […]

Perhaps the scariest thing about the two boys who died on holiday in Greece is that they were doing nothing that any of us has not done. They were not taking part in any sort of risky activity like paragliding or white water rafting. They were just taking a family holiday in a reputable, established […]
