Breaking News From The Home Front

And that is literal! St Maggie’s is at the front of my home. We share a boundary. Open the front door and, behind the magnolia tree, you see the church. I’ve never been a church goer. Why? Because my relationship with MY creator is internal and #private. Don’t get me wrong. I love churches and […]

Did Something Just Happen?

I’m confused. I know about the cargo blockage in some canal. I also know about the BBCRadio live-phone-in which allowed some female to spread the news that HUNDREDS of babies and children are now dying in NHS hospitals because some new variant has already hit us (?!) So WHY have the “totally selfish and frightened […]

How To Make Carved Moulding (?)

On furniture. There is one thing about these videos that makes me wince. Whenever I’ve painted/renovated furniture – I ALWAYS paint the inside too. With the same amount of detail and care. There is nothing worse than seeing a drop dead gorgeous cupboard, opening the doors and looking at the original manky wood underneath. It’ll […]

Giuseppe Sanmartino

I am NOT a chemist. So I can’t even begin to get to the HOW of this. Maybe someone else can? How did he make the veil? How is it that you see the features of the Saviour beneath the veil? Did Sanmartino sculpt it that way? How is that possible? One hypothesis is that […]

Alpha. Bravo. Charlie.

Easy as ABC I worked all three of these checkpoints as a policeperson. Only Alpha once. It’s far outside of Berlin…at the beginning of “The Corridor.” Alpha was in Helmstedt. The beginning of a 100 + mile autobahn into Berlin. With NO SPEED LIMITS. I drove/drived it :o) Hit the city 100 miles later and […]

Ursula Le Guin

I’m Raging. Quietly. Some third person (!) is being spammed to hell for his latest video. WTF? OK. Sci-Fi is not MY genre but I’ve read Phil K Dick, Ursula le Guin and Mary Gentle. PKD and Ursula were, if not friends, acquaintances. They were both well aware of each others work. Mary Gentle – […]

Tesco Today : Radio Gaga

MY WORLD! I said t’other day that going to shop right now is an “experience” for me. It always starts with the music playing. In the Veg Aisle. All I wanted was one cauliflower but the masked woman hogging the entire space would NOT let me in. She’d seen me and then felt the need […]
