What’s gone on?

  • Bugs

    There’s been a lot of rain this year. An almost biblical deluge. As a consequence certain insects and arthropods are thriving. Mosquitoes (several stories here) and slugs to name but a few. The cabbage patch (or rather what is left of it) long since devoured by the joint forces of Sluggo and Caterpillro is but…

  • Holiday pt 5: conclusion

    My god! Will it never end! Where was I? Oh yeah…Conway. So we did Conway. The weather there was stonkingly splendid but our return to Anglesey brought disheartening thoughts.

  • Saturday

    Saturday brought with it soggy but bright sunshine. The previous night’s rain all but an evaporating memory. So I took it upon myself to finish repairing a job I started in March. The ornamental wood fascia on the garage. Having successfully painted the replacement wood some months previous, I removed the existing old and well…

  • Friday Night

    Friday night took a surprising turn. Jill, the wife’s-ex-bosses-wife called to offer us 2 tickets to see Toby Foster ( from Phoenix Nights) and some other stand up comedians at the Comedy club in Sheffield. So, without having anything to eat we jumped into the car and headed through the rain to the one way…
