John Peel

The delivery man from Tesco arrived with our shopping just as the 6 O’Clock news started. I caught occasional glances of bands and Jarvis Cocker whilst carrying shopping bags into the house. What could be up that Jarvis Cocker was making an appearance in the headline story?
Turns out John Peel has [...]

Overdrive

It’s just after 10 am on Saturday morning and my brain is already working overtime. Thankfully I am not physically capable of doing everything that I have planned for today, or I would be a hopeless wreck at the end of it. It all starts quite simply - I will paint the bedroom [...]

Curry

Thankfully, the bad mood has passed - with the help of a nice relaxing weekend. It started with the purchase of my new camera & a curry, and finished with a log fire & a curry. In between were: a couple of beers, and a walk in a forest in the rain. [...]

We had a goodbye Danny the Dog right here a while ago. Turns out it is not just my family who are insanely mad for dogs! - Philip Treacy had a funeral for his dog Mr Pig, and an obituary in the Sunday Times Style magazine

Caught by the Fuzz

Welcome to part 2 of Zoe gets nabbed by the cops.
I have had a few encounters with the police - some when I was burgled, and some to do with another type of theft. I also remember being caught with my pants down having a piss - very embarassing! But when a girl [...]

Nee Naw Nee Naw

My beloved and I hit the bottle on Saturday night - sometimes you’ve got to let go a lot. We remenisced and talked general crap that seemed SO important at the time. D did his usual of chastising me because I will not sell my creative soul.
