Yesterday was World Vegan Day. Not that I knew about it until I read about it on someone else’s blog who has vegan aspirations, eats no dairy but does eat fish. A vegan pescatarian perhaps? Years ago, we went on a holiday from hell (top tip: avoid Ramblers’ Association cross-country skiiing holidays) and were the […]Read Post ›
White Rabbits. Uh? When I joined my first newspaper office it was the customary greeting on the first of the month. Normally one would say, ‘Morning’ or ‘Good morning’. But on the first it was White Rabbits. Bizarre. Totally. And when I woke up on 1 September, I thought ‘White Rabbits’. Luckily I didn’t say […]Read Post ›
Where to start? Surreal conversation number one ‘Hello, police.’ ‘Hello, officer, there is a car illegally blocking us in. It’s parked on a yellow line in a tow away zone. We can’t get out.’ ‘Give me the number, I’ll try and contact them and ask them to move it.’ Wouldn’t want to be in a […]Read Post ›
Returning to Gib is truly like entering a different world as we queue up (15 mins so not bad) to cross the frontier. So this is the comparison to The Vegman Cometh. Tooooo many nice people keep asking about The Ankle and I said I’d add a brief update. I was sort of dismissed by […]Read Post ›

Wandering out this morning Partner encountered a dog walker we know (OK, so we know most dog walkers around our streets). ‘Look at the jeweller’s window on your way down,’ he said. ‘I asked the police if they had caught them yet, […]Read Post ›

I know I said no ugly pictures would be on this blog but I’m sorry we can not just turn our heads to what was done to this innocent baby giraffe. To say that I am incensed does not even begin to convey the anger and rage I…
No construction materials imported into Gib. Guardia Civil diving in Brit/Gib waters. Gib government trying to reach agreement on letting Spaniards fish in Gib waters. What’s going on now? Lazy Wed Ann Day/Weekend. Except the intrepid Gib News Sleuth-Hound has yet more to report. Sand trucks are not being allowed into Gib. This is allegedly […]Read Post ›
Righty tighties. More on the Gib sitrep. (Situation report for anyone who hasn’t worked in the health service, armed forces and anyone else who uses that abbreviation). HMS Westminster Let’s start with HMS Westminster who sailed into Gib yesterday. Do warships sail? Anyway she is a Type 23 frigate off for a jolly in the […]Read Post ›
A mystery. We were puzzled. Why had our neighbour’s son not been going to his college course in catering? We watched for a few days and hadn’t seen hide nor hair of him. His younger brother was being transported somewhere by his dad (not that there is a perfectly good bus service directly to the […]Read Post ›
‘Why don’t we go find some of those geocaches?’ he said. Well, because I was planning on cleaning or paperwork, or or or …. ‘We could go on the bus, IF YOU COULD FIND YOUR ID CARD,’ he added pointedly. The one that has been missing for weeks and was probably hidden under all the […]Read Post ›
