Jumper - bit woolly for me.
Hello.
Well, it seems here in Suffolk we missed out on all the excitement of 'the biggest earthquake for 25 years' that has effected some parts of England and Wales. I'm not sure if I'm pleased or disappointed by that.
I'm back to work this week having had 10 days off through a combination of holiday days and days off. Going back to a place I don ( Read more... ) -
Martellos and Mee Grob
Hello.
So I’m (roughly) 43 years and 2 days old. Perhaps that explains why I get so stiff now if I sit in one position for too long - things begin to seize up if they’re not used often enough, it would seem.
Yup, it was my birthday on Tuesday and I had a very nice, relaxed day with presents and cards when I woke up (and I was very good with the cards ( Read more... ) -
Pool and poorly.
Hello.
Which of the following statements, plucked from Sunday newspapers last week (not this), refers to Heather Mills McCartney?
1) She could drink tea from a teacup and looked good for an ape.
2) She has a very unusual erogenous zone - her stump. I used to massage one particular sensitive area of it and give her an orgasm!
Answers later on. Betcha ( Read more... ) -
I work all night, I work all day...
Hello.
Ah. Oh dear. Hmm. Money, or the lack of it, is suddenly about to go from being a bit of a worry to potentially being a major problem. Last night before I went to sleep I laid awake for a while pondering our finances and where we might be able to make a saving or two. This was sparked off by (finally opening and) reading post from my bank in ( Read more... ) -
Torchwood and t-shirts.
Hmm. Tonight's "Torchwood" managed to be good and badly messy at the same time. Good performances all round, as usual, and nice to see Rees move out from the shadow of "occasional supporting character" and into the forefront for an episode. However, the least said about the alien the better, I think. CGI doesn't always improve things, it seems.

Pancakes and Primeval.
Hello.
Today being Shrove Tuesday we have had pancakes. Please click on the link to Wikipedia for an explanation about Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Day as it’s also known. Years ago my Mum seemed able to churn out pancakes by the dozen for the 5 of us in the family but since then I’ve never been able to find anyone else that can do that. Drew, though ( Read more... ) -
Anyway...
Hello.
It was “jobs day” in the local paper today so I bought a copy and took it into work; I even managed to read through it before fevered colleagues wrestled me for it. They were welcome to it as there was not one thing in it that I would even have considered applying for. Meh. I’m trying to keep things in perspective and am constantly having to ( Read more... ) -
Warning: Contains spoilers for 'I Am Legend.'
Hello.
The question of the week this week on comedic/bad-taste website b3ta, somewhere I visit regularly, is about bad experiences in hotels and the like. Perhaps it’s because staying in hotels is not something that I’ve ever really indulged in up until I met Drew (and only a few times since then) that I’ve not come across anything less than very ( Read more... ) -
Larkrise and Lasagne.
Hello.
Just a quickie tonight. I’ve had a good day - finally got round to chucking out loads of rubbish, putting the festering veg/teabags/etc in the brown bin in the back garden (which is looking fine despite the weather) and sorting out some piles of books. Then late this afternoon I went over to Mum and Dad’s and was able to tell them that Drew ( Read more... ) -
Housework and hospital.
Hello.
At last Drew’s Mum has had some communication from their local hospital. It came in the form of a very badly written letter, dated the 21st of December but not posted until the 10th of January and contains a mixture of what could be good news and worrying news. The good news is that the blood tests and so on that Drew’s mother had have come ( Read more... )
