What’s gone on?

  • Out

    While rambling through Howell Woods yesterday I mused on how trees are natures factories. This time of year they are beginning their annual processes spurting forth green shoots in preparation for the busy summer months of photosynthesising. Then in October/November they begin cut backs and shed jobs (leaves) before becoming derelict and barren in the…

    Toys

    I went here as a kid nearly every weekend. I suspect Luxuryflatitis. After all the site is in a highly desirable area of Southport. Arsonists should be burnt at the stake IMO. Today I rushed into uni after pottering about doing little jobs. I had a meeting with the people I’ve been doing 4 films…

    Last night I had a fire. It was a small fire. I didn’t bother asking G the Human dog to take his washing in. More confidential waste. Fire. It’s nice is fire. Cleansing. Good way to dispose of things…….. Yesterday Mrs Gnomepants picked up her new car from the garage. It is red. I suggested…

  • Various points of note

    Today I struggled into Barnsley. I spent 4 hours editing then thought “fuck it” and went geocaching instead. Managed to find 1 cache out of the 4 I looked for today. The first cache I couldn’t find, my GPS is only accurate to 4 decimal places so when you get within 6ft of the location…

  • More Oats

    I’m like a dog that won’t let go sometimes. Doing a bit of research on the various porridge products on the market I thought I’d check the ingredients of a variety of oat based breakfast cereals. Now, you’d think porridge was just oats. If I asked for porridge, that’s what I’d hope to get. And…

  • Oats

    You can’t get simpler than oats. Oats are so versatile and healthy. Grab yourself a bag of oats, roll them with a roller or what ever, add hot milk or water, season to taste. Simple. Porridge. The food of the Gods. There was a time when oats weren’t so trendy. You could stand in shops…
