Been meaning to write something here for days, but somehow the urge stops when I actually sit down to do it. Anyway, my health is both better and worse. I’ve been off the Ibuprofen for three weeks now and I’m feeling quite a lot better. I actually walked back from the village shop this morning […]

….plenty long enough, I would have thought, for some real evidece to emerge in the foiled “Al Qaeda plot” to to blow up planes. Sure, two guns and a suspicious suitcase have been found in High Wycombe woods. But if they had any connection with the “terrorists” who have been banged up, an announcement to […]
Washing all of our mugs this afternoon, I wondered how on earth we ended up with 22 of them. I mean, with only two of us in this house, we really don’t need anything like this many. Then I remembered the time I was helping to clear my mother’s flat after she died. I had […]
Just been to see the Doc about the continuing pain and stiffness in my shoulders. She’s sending me for an X-ray; I probably have arthritis in my shoulder joints. I may also have the beginnings of osteoporosis in my neck vertebrae. Oh wow – just what I always wanted, arthritis in my joints and a […]
…..and in the middle of it, a dead crow. Freshly dead, by the brightness of the red blood and purple guts spilling amongst the shiny black feathers. A couple of feet away, another, less identifiable, road-coloured lump. Evidently, the crow had been about to enjoy some breakfast when Death caught up with it. A little […]
I love these kind of sites! ReligiousFreaks.com —————- Been going cold turkey, trying to get off Iboprufen. I managed 48 hours; after deciding I no longer wanted to live with aching joints, rising blood pressure, fuzz-for-brains and total tiredness, I gave in and swallowed 120mg an hour ago. I feel fine now. Damm….. ——————– I’m […]
…why do there seem to be only about three people interested in astrology in Galloway? Last November, I announced I was starting the Galloway Astrology Group, with an associated Yahoo group. I put up a notice in Castle Douglas’ occult shop, spread the word on every forum and email list, put the URL of the […]
Not much news. Haven’t been able to upload any new photos because Windows suddenly won’t recognise the Card Reader. Waiting for a new motherboard (again). Until that arrives, I won’t have much time on B’s machine, as he suddenly has some printing work to do. Quite tempted to join another message board: Barbelith. Found them […]
Back again. Still having motherboard trouble. Blah. Can’t get the latest one to detect a keyboard – any keyboard. I’ve emailed the company that sold it to Caroline – it was only six weeks ago, so they might possibly replace it. So Im rather fed up. Still, went down and saw my new grandaughter at […]
…after some very fretful days without a working computer. I won’t bore you with the details here, but I appear to have another sickly motherboard. This time it may be rescuable, but in the meantime I’ve work to get on with, so I’ve plugged my hard drive into B’s machine again. It’s a brand new […]
