“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.”
1. Thomas DIX was born about 1763. He was buried on 14 Nov 1816 in Southrepps, Norfolk, England. Moving on to my REAL grandfather, Clarence, who married Enid Anne Sylvia – my Nan, always called Anne. I have vivid memories of her silver cutlery. It was engraved EAS on every handle. That’s how I know her birth […]
The first time I ever saw wild rabbits do this in our garden I squealed : OMG.OMG.There’sADeadRabbitOnThe Lawn!!! We are having an August, as opposed to an October, day today and there is lots of Bun-Bathing going on. I’m thinking of renting out my grass by the square foot :o) BTW : Our bunnies spread […]
August has always been the time when I prepared for whatever a UK winter could throw at us. I’ve been blessed with a windfall (out of the blue) that will allow me to buy oil for the Rayburn to cook with and heat all our water 24/7 and logs and coal for the wood burner. […]
OK. It might be August. Summer. Lazy Days. Out in the Warm. Eating salads and stuff. Not here. It’s more autumn than summer. Heyho. BTW ; I’ve used beef. Lamb is SOOOOO bloody expensive, I’d need a bank loan. We love this tea :o) I used rosemary from the garden too. ‘Cos I’m posh (?!)
And I did NOT need a single subscriber/follower/donation. I’m being showered with small but much needed & totally unexpected gifts. Even enough money to buy GOOD food. And maybe, hopefully, a new laptop with a thingy that will transfer my old hard drive info onto a new hard drive. Woooohooooo :o)
This veracious void is unending. As in … the end will be truly painful for many who have wilfully set themselves up as False Prophets of Truth. Y’all are dealing with a darkness that is so deep and so twisted…..! That can be either internal or external. Time to step away and Mind the Gap […]
I adore her books. Especially Ash. She doesn’t promote herself all over the internet. Which I admire – even when I’m trying to researrch the woman behind the books. Nota Bene : GRUNTS is a word we use in HM Forces for the front line “Cannon Fodder.” Sorry but They are the REAL workers. The […]
I’m part of the problem. Friday is/was/always will be Poets Day…Piss Off Early Tomorrow’s Saturday. Saturday is now FLATTERDAY. Sunday is now JONDAY. But….I stake a claim on both Flatterday & JONDAY. Piss Off Early Tomorrow’s Sunday Ken Bran reading Wilf O. What passing-bells for these who die as cattle? — Only the monstrous anger of the […]
MY OWN PERSONAL FAVOURITE :o) Lovejoy is a Divvie and a Rogue Eric is…Eric Tinker is a Shamelessly Alcoholic Barker who Knows antiques. Lady Jane is Hot Totty. And the police detective is a truly exasperated mate of Lovejoy.
I have the most vivid memories of school dinners. When I was 8 we moved down from Scotland and I spent 2 years at another Junior School where we were served prunes and custard as pudding. The prunes still had the stones in. We’d line the stones around the lip of the bowl and sing […]
There were 33 episodes of Inspector Morse starring John Thaw and Kevin Whately. The writer of the Morse novels, Colin Dexter, appeared in Almost All 33 episodes. Once we knew that he was “doing a Hitchcock” the series had an extra dimension called ….WHERE IS COLIN? :o)
