Been too busy running in and out of the chicken shed to make sure the new cockerel is not being victimised by the chickens. They’re a tough pair. Anyway, walking up the track with the dog, who does partner see, but the Easy Rider boys. They were on the quad today. When we first came […]Read Post ›
Damn. The dog’s blog was looking better than mine. Probably because he is more photogenic. Anyway of change of look was called for so I spent a happy couple of hours fiddling with every template available. I really must must go and learn (X)HTML and every code under the sun. So if there are no […]Read Post ›
No it’s not a trick question but sometimes the answer isn’t so easy. I did hear – anecdotally not from personal experience – that this question along with date, month and year, are some of the questions used to assess whether someone is suffering from dementia. It is the typical sort of question that someone […]Read Post ›
Yesterday helpful partner turned into The Welder and Grinder, so I decided to do something equally useful and raise the height of my desk. On my very own. By a strange quirk of fate – probably called genetics – I have a long back. I also have long legs, but the back is apparently disproportionately […]Read Post ›
What are dogs like? Every morning ours comes in to wake us up for his early morning walk. Usually between 6.30 and 7am. Sometimes a little earlier, rarely later. If The Early Morning Dog Walker (ie him not me – this is Men’s Work) is feeling idle he tells Pipps to go away and come […]Read Post ›
Is that true? I can’t decide. It is some years since I left work and the biggest shock to the system is the change in the internet over those years. And how much everyone has moved on while I have been trying to chill out and relax. I was on full-time internet access at work […]Read Post ›
When we first came to Spain we rented the villa from hell. One of its attractions was that we could store all our worldly goods in the large garage underneath – and not have to pay storage costs. So the removers soon turned up with our goodies. One of the first things I did was […]Read Post ›
I was offered a job last year. It was legit as far as I know. I answered an advert in an English newspaper based over here, and sent my CV. It was for a job I had done before, for many years. The next day I was asked to go for an interview. It was […]Read Post ›
I’m writing this listening to a one-hit wonder. I thought. Flashback to Kate’s teenage years, on holiday on the east coast of Yorkshire and taken to pub by parents (to drink non-alcoholic shandy I hasten to add). For some strange reason, the only record anyone wanted to listen to was Neanderthal Man, by Hotlegs (who?). […]Read Post ›
It’s a bit of a pain when it’s windy. Did you know the Costa del Sol used to be called the Costa del Viento before some marketing person got their hands on tourism? Or so I read in a book in the days before broadband access. And for anyone who doesn’t speak Spanish – that’s […]Read Post ›
