…in astrological terms, being 59 means you’re in the middle of your second Saturn Return, when Saturn transits its own place for the second time in your life. It’s generally regarded as a pretty heavy time, of restrictions and difficulties. By accident, I’ve just stumbled on the blog of a fellow astrologer who was born […]

….so we went for another drive yesterday, through a section of the Galloway Forest we’d last visted three years ago. What a difference! Much of the trees have recently been logged; so instead of dark brooding masses of conifers, there was moonscapes of bare trashed ground. Since the Galloway Forest is primarily an industrial-scale tree-growing […]
….I completely redesigned the front end of this website. I spent a couple of days beforehand cruising around web-designers’ websites, putting myself in the place of a potential customer and noting what worked and what didn’t (tip no.1: don’t boast about how your sites are correctly coded and conform to web standards, and how your […]
…well, obviously. Will post properly soon.
This site will probably be offline for a few days from tomorrow (Monday); the hosting fee is due and I haven’t yet found the dosh. However, it will only be a temporary interruption – a fortnight at the most. Byeee!
I’m getting more involved in Facebook – I’m now in the networks of two daughters and a son-in-law. Nice to be able to keep up with family like this. For the last 24 hours, I’ve had a headache. It’s much better now, but was pretty bad yesterday. I had the spend the day lying down; […]

Yesterday, I spotted an item about Zodiac-themed songs; I instantly thought, “Perfect! I […]
Well, B got my camera working, more or less. The problem was that the lens wouldn’t come out; he thumped it for a bit and it got unstuck. The lens now won’t go back in again, but at least I can take piccies again. We’ve not bought a car yet. But we’ve put our old […]
…my camera’s bust – the lens is stuck. It’s been stucky for ages, but has always cleared itself with a bit of jigging and poking. But I took it out this morning and it’s stuck for good. We’d gone out for a drive and a walk, the weather was fantastic, with blue skies and bright […]
I don’t do much in the way of cooking for myself – I normally just chuck some veggies in the steamer (I can forget about them and they won’t go on fire) and do some quick stir-fried mushrooms or tofu on the stovetop. But I do like baking my own bread, and I think I’ve […]
