spam egg sausage and spam
As if my wisecracking son wasn't bad enough, spam has now decided to get in on the act. Deleting it is a pain, but there is some humour there - breast enlargement? - you've not met me have you? Increase the size of my penis? Wait? I've got a penis? And the Viagra ones sometimes have amusing titles at least. But the menopause medication one ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
It was weeks ago when I mentioned about my longest standing friend coming to stay, well it was a good weekend, great to catch up with each others news and we tried out a local Indian restaurant one evening, it was pretty good. The highlight had to be when we were pootling around the Friends Reunited website, she wanted to look up the bio of ( Read more... ) -
The weekend
It's been a good weekend, my longest standing friend came to visit yesterday and it's been good to see her again. She hadn't been to our new house before, it's been nice showing her around and spending time catching up. As she still lives in the village where I grew up I like to hear news of there, especially any scurrilous gossip, naturally. ( Read more... ) -

Hopeful
Hm as I suspected, full internet access has meant less reading getting done, but unexpectedly the distraction has been ebay. I've had a minor clear out and have found it amazing what some things sell for. I sold a pair of pyjama bottoms for nearly three times as much as two pieces of furniture, just because they have a trendy label. Anyhow, I ( Read more... ) -
Various
Despite having full internet access again I have managed to keep up with the reading, having finished The Secret State, one member's account of the Polish underground resistance during WWII, I've moved onto With the Old Breed, fascinating read but I know I'll be sniveling over Ack Ack and Hillbilly again soon. I've decided that the next book will ( Read more... ) -
Back Home
Back home now and it's lovely to have a decent internet connection again, although being unable to fritter away my time on the internet meant I read more. On holiday I got through Jungle Soldier (a biography of Freddy Spencer Chapman who spent 3 years behind enemy lines in Malaya during WWII), The Book Thief and Helmet for My Pillow. -
Holidays
Well I've been particularly crap at updating since being on holiday, the combination of entertaining family and reduced internet access and laziness is responsible. It's been good - weather ok for the UK and very low tides have made for great fun rockpooling. It's debatable who has been more excited at the variety of our catches, me or the ( Read more... )
