Where’s the (New Year) Honour?
I’m torn between being utterly depressed at the whole dreadful concept of the Honours system, and of course being once more miffed that I still don’t have that OBE… heh. But once one gets past the foam slopping about on the top of the published list – ooh, look, that wonderful old actor, so deserving……

Winking at the Moon
There is no doubt in my mind how strongly the space race was impressed upon me as a teenager. I remember watching Neil Armstrong – at least, an extremely blurry black and white version of him – make that giant leap. It was 20th July 1969 and the world was smaller than it had been…

Still rather warm…
Not wishing to complain of course (although I am British…), and the garden does look rather splendid in the reflection. Mind, you know you’re going soft when you empty a bag of ice cubes into the chicken’s drinking water!

Thoughts for your thought
I like Thought for the Day (TFTD) on Radio 4’s Today programme. It’s an odd ‘British’ kind of thing, where a select few folk from a select few faith communities waffle for five minutes about something or nothing in particular; usually with a religious twist depending on their personal spiritual allegiance. I’d be very happy…

Alas, poor Yorick
Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy; he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be…

A Sunday walk around Uley Bury
The snow has gone, and somehow the grass is still mostly there! A Sunday walk around the top of Uley Bury in Gloucestershire, on a very blowy morning!

Higher Resolution
Starting 2013 with the realisation that 2012 was a bit… meh. Whether it was the lack of much in the way of summer Sun, the incessant rain of the latter months, the inept unembarrassed selfishness of the current government or even missing Charlie who is now full on into her biology studies at Manchester, I…

Bread
It’s been a long time since I last played with making bread, but the recent last minute purchases of cheaply made bread at extortionate prices made me reconsider my baking abilities. Ok, so I tossed random amounts of flour, salt, sugar, milk and yeast into the bread maker and let that do the kneading… lol.…

Almost Broadband
Back in 2010, my broadband dropped from about 2Mb/s to about 1MB/s, making most Internet use tedious or impossible. Today, I note, it’s back to 2.2Mb/s. Happier times. I wonder if the atrocious weather has damaged from cable joints, the repairing of which has brought the connection back to best practical standard…? Maybe, if we…

Magic
There have been a couple of decent blogs recently on the subject of magic. Not the sort you see on stage, even when done by druids and similar lovely folk… but magic like in the stories… this partially written blog post is intend to more deeply formulate and articulate my impressions and explain what I…
