Took the terrible Goddess to the  hospital for an appointment. Dropped her at the main entrance and then went to the main carpark … to park. Long queues but eventually was allowed in and spotted a spot very near the entrance. Wiggled in and then tried an extra wiggle so that […]
Tina Morris, director of Coastal Currents Arts Festival, strode into my garden like a super model accompanied by Alexander Brattell, anarchic photographer and all round good egg. I noticed that Tina was wearing high heels. My lawn needed aerating so while Alex dashed around clicking, I cunningly showed Tina points of interest in […]
As you can see I’ve been cutting the hedges at the Cliff Top Residence. This is real altfact photo of the garden. I decided to have a shower afterwards as I was covered in clippings. “Oh, how did that get there?†and “And there!?! It’s not possible.†and “Nobody will believe that.†Finally I […]
Here’s a jolly jape when visiting friends. When you use the facilities change how the loo roll is presented and never say anything to anybody ever*. Do this every time you visit like I do. *whoops .
A few years ago I invented this marvellous game! The family love to play it. The rules are simple. You play in reverse of normal Jenga in that each person takes a turn to add to the tower. When someone causes the tower to collapse they have to eat all the Twiglets. There is one […]

The New Year has got off to a cracking start. So far, I’ve mused on whether windows in trousers would be a commercial proposition, do Inuits have reinforced vests around the nipple areas to allow for ‘perky’ wear and tear and will the bank accept 2015 + 1 as a valid amendment on incorrectly dated […]
I always find a clear night very comforting. All the stars are in just the right places. The outer edge of the Big Dipper shows where the North star is. Orion’s belt indicates exactly the position of the Seven Sisters and the moon is sickled or gibbous or new or full exactly when it should […]
The track at the bottom of the garden at the Cliff Top Residence is a never ending source of entertainment (see previous post – adult content). Anyhoo, yesterday the local dustcart, manned by non-locals apparently, drove down the track (the usual truck never goes down the track) and got stuck in the mud. Very stuck. […]
