July was a strange sort of month and quite lonely for me really. I have been up in Scotland while Jayne was in Crawley working out her notice. In some ways I had the better end of the deal because I was in a fully-furnished house (well, no sofa yet but enough furniture for one […]

June is the month when I think it is fair to say that I really moved to Scotland. We are still in the process of moving bit-by-bit, but in June I spent most of the time in Scotland, while Jayne was mostly in England. She has been unhappy because she just wants to get moved, […]

April was quite an expensive month. I finally got round to getting Jayne and I new phones, I bought myself a car, and we bought a house! The house is a big deal, obviously, and I will probably go into all that in a separate post. The rest of the month was pretty much business […]

I guess it was inevitable that, after a January that seemed to go on for ever, February passed by in a flash. I know it is a short month, indeed the shortest month, but it still felt like it was a week shorter than a normal month rather than just a couple of days.

I think everybody agrees that January this year seemed to go on for ever, but maybe it didn’t just feel long but really was long. Here’s the thing; we had a grandchild that was due to be born on Feb 20th or thereabouts but actually arrived on Jan 15th. I sort of wonder whether the […]
2025 – Everybody Laughs

All of my instincts were to add Baxter Dury’s Allbarone to my 1962Onwards playlist this year. It is catchy as hell with his trademark quirky lyrics featuring precisely deployed weapons-grade swearwords. However, I know that I already have a Baxter Dury track on the playlist (Miami in 2017) and my self-imposed guideline is to restrict […]

It seems like this was yet another month of not getting round to watching as much TV as I had intended to this year. It was just the normal regular shows like HIGNFY, House of Games, The Late Show, QI and so on, plus the end of the Taskmaster series and the start of a […]

Already? Where has this year gone? Three quarters of the way through the year and it feels like nothing has really happened. I guess that makes me lucky really because people in war zones like Ukraine, Gaza and Chicago would love to feel that nothing has happened. On the other hand, September was a bit […]

An eventful month, one way or another. In the first three weeks I managed to get out quite a bit on the motorbike, making the most of it before everything gets colder, darker and wetter. I did trips out to Lewes, Arundel, Dorking and Camberley checking out record fairs and shops, but also found myself […]
