The Mabinogion has played such a HUGE part in my past decade and a bit more of research for Ravens of Dinefwr. It helped me (along with N.C.) to weld the MSM History of Wales/Ireland/Scotland/The Normans/The Crusades with a new chronology and story.

Was Michael the character who gave them all away with the 3 fingers? I need to rewatch. Also – After The Funeral with David Suchet as Poirot. Gimme a minute to recover […]
More Bingo :o) A follow up to my last post. Sometimes, after calling Bingo, I’d go to the bar at the Holiday Camp (where I lived btw) and find my Policeperson Dad there. Sheesh. Did it piss me off? OH YES! Dad being Dad would say…What are you drinking? Me: Lager. Half a pint. I’d […]
The image above is my family flag/standard. I’m done with the mundane. Day in. Day out. Once more. Same as before. I have standards. They are planted on top of mountains. Very High Up. Do you have standards? And more important – How High Do YOUR Soul Standards fly?
