Of Paint and Wallpaper

November 4, 2009

I am still busy.  Once I had recovered from my train lag on Monday, I started decorating Tory Boy’s bedroom.  When he went to Lancaster last year the boys swapped rooms, including furniture and decor.  Spud’s new bedroom is okay, as it was decorated for his teenage brother; but TB’s new bedroom is only okay [...]

We Apologise For The Inconvenience

October 30, 2009

I am a complete blank today and can’t think of anything to blog about.  Instead, I will direct you to the following link and ask that you read it and store it in your memory for future reference:

Normal Service Will Be Resumed As Soon As Possible

Spiders Are Not The Enemy

October 22, 2009

WARNING: If you don’t like bugs, this post is not for you.
The Hub loves nature and all that crap.  He’s not soppy about it: he will kill something for food; but only for food.  Except flies and mosquitoes.  He hates those and rejoices in every kill he makes, believing he has saved a life elsewhere, [...]

Party Time (Please!)

October 12, 2009

It was the Hub’s birthday on Saturday.  He is a year and ten days younger than me, and he loves it that for ten days he is two years younger.  His only problem is that he looks ten years older.  That’s not a problem for me, of course.
Spud and I made sure he had the best [...]

 The Hub on a good day

I’m feeling excited today because of my husband.  You don’t often hear that after 27 years together.  Check out the link above: a possible breakthrough has been made in the search for the cause of CFS/ME.  In a nutshell, it’s all the fault of mice.  A retrovirus found in mice [...]

About ME

September 14, 2009

Feeling tons better tonight. Thanks to Melanie and Abraham Lincoln for your good wishes. It gives me a frisson of pleasure to say thanks to Honest Abe: I am fascinated by American politics and presidents. I think it started back in the Eighties when I watched a mini-series about Theodore Roosevelt, and [...]

Untitled

August 27, 2009

Spud and I visited Stockport Art Gallery yesterday. I don’t mind art. I’m not over-fussed about it, but I like to look at it occasionally. We have a fair bit of original art in the house because the Hub loves it. We had only been married a year or so when [...]

Half A Promise Is Better Than None

August 26, 2009

I promised snake photos but I don’t think the Hub has uploaded all of them to the computer so it will have to be snake photo instead. This one is from the Imperial War Museum North. It’s pink, as you can see; ours are green and blue and about six feet long. [...]

A Day Out

August 25, 2009

We went to visit the Imperial War Museum North yesterday. At one point we were forced to avert our eyes at the awfulness before us; but rude gestures helped. Yes, we were thoroughly annoyed that the satnav took us past old trafford on the way home. But, as Tory Boy pointed out, [...]

Pudding Lame

August 5, 2009

It’s been a while since I had a cooking disaster, but that’s because I’ve stuck to old faithfuls like leftovers and chips and beans on toast. I did attempt to bake a cake but I must only have baed it, because it wasn’t done in the middle. Spud was brave enough to cook [...]
