I was putting the rubbish out, when I got distracted. A warm breeze was coming off the sea. The moon, nearly full was surrounded by wispy clouds, scattering radiant light.
I headed to the beach. There is an enchanting smell when you reach the sands. The early summer wind full of salt and ocean. A waxing [...]
And the women cried: Let there be chocolate.
And there was chocolate.
And the people rejoiced because it was good.
So, having started today on a bit of a high after a lovely weekend, there was only one way to go. By mid morning I was feeling a bit tetchy, and wondering how I was going to see the day through without losing my rag, your text helped, but I was still on edge. Concentrating [...]
I’d like to think of myself as open minded. I’d like to think of myself as someone who is tolerant to the beliefs, attitudes and tastes of others. I’d like to think that little truly shocks me.
There aren’t many points of argument upon which we fundamentally disagree. I remember the penny dropping moment when we [...]
Today, I saw something that made me smile.
It was a custard yellow, T-reg (suffix), Ford Escort.
In the sunshine she gleamed without indication of rust, although her colour made me queasy. She drove well, but growled like a rhinoceros with indigestion when her pedal was pressed to the floor. She made me smile, but perhaps more [...]
I made a discovery last night, but caught up in my excitement about seasonal vegetables I didn’t get around to discussing it.
I’m new to all this blogging stuff. Never really been very interested, so I’m only just working out things that I should really have known since about 2003.
The subject of my discovery? Technorati. I [...]
You know, we all have them. Picking at scabs before they’ve properly healed, the smell of a really good fart. Today I was indulging myself in another; asparagus wee. There’s something satisfying about the horrible sulphurous smell of wee the day after eating asparagus. It has just come into season here, and well, it was [...]
It drizzled pretty much all day today. Not heavy rain, just drizzle, but boy am I glad. It has been dry for about a month, and all this sunny springtime was starting to freak me out. It’s April, it’s supposed to rain. A lot. I like rain. I like it best when I’m nice and [...]
Five years ago today I collected the keys to my first home. I was meant to pick them up at midday, but the lady who lived here before me hadn’t quite moved out. It took until six o’clock for her to leave, but I didn’t mind too much, although I was itching to get inside. [...]
This is a good place to be able to sneak up behind you and kiss the back of your neck, because, you see, I’m not distracting you in the slightest. I’m in a different room and everything.
