“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
The lovely girl that I spent yesterday with was talking about their favourite TV show VIKINGS. And she made a comment about a stray Viking walking about, seeing a local girl, them getting together, falling in love and having children. “It must have happened, it’s human nature.” So I told her about my DNA and […]
I so badly want to move on from the subject of deviant burials but…! OK. Stones. The image above is of Salt Stone Carvings. Salt/Stone. Lot’s wife supposedly looked back at (was it Sodom?) I’m not a Biblical Scholar. Anyway, she “allegedly” looked back at the life that she once lived and still wanted to […]
Knights in Shining Armour…my behind! Knights in PPE saved me today. Long story. Car locked me out for no reason whatsoever. Sun blazing, me walking the nearly 2 miles home…mostly uphill, praying for a helping hand because I had ZERO idea what to do. Police? Pay for Emergency Vehicle Rescue? Cry? DahDahDaaaaah: around the corner […]
I got given another out-of-the-blue present today. It’s now called the “Anti-WereWabbit Cunning Plan.” All my strawberries are now all stalk and no flowers or leaves or berries or straw. I’ve this very bad habit of protecting the wrong creatures :o( BUT : They are still cute and make me laugh and I could never […]
Mmmn. I’ve just watched the video below and it makes sense. In Scotland, it is traditional to carry a stone up from the bottom of a hill to place on a cairn at its top. In such a fashion, cairns would grow ever larger. An old Scottish Gaelic blessing is Cuiridh mi clach air do chàrn, “I’ll […]

GOSSIP : casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true. MEDICINE : The science or practice of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease (in technical use often taken to exclude […]
I think that I’ve just secured myself the help of a fellow gardener. For Free :o) A lovely day spent in the company of a new friend and fellow garden fanatic has been SO delightful. OMG. She saw plants here that I didn’t even realise I had. We spent ages discussing the fig tree and […]
Three people. 100’s of thousands of subs. A collaboration together to explore Alternative History. My time is over. Ended. The nail has been hammered into the stake/gallows. I wish them nothing but the best, even though it means me losing a truly close and dearly loved friend. Sad :o(
This is so far removed from the original book. But – whatever – it’s still a wonderful TV story. Claude Darrell, known as the Destroyer. He is an obscure English actor and a master of disguise. He is the chief assassin of the group. He appears with ever-changing faces and multiple identities throughout the novel. He can […]
Ellis Bell aka Emily Brontë was a freaking genius. FACT. To tell a story via a narrator who is told the story via a witness of the events which he tells to us… WOW. Read the book? Or listen to the videos below if y’all are too busy being busy. BTW : Cathy is the […]
