Kits and Mortar Tumblr Strange Attractor Del.icio.us links TwitterI'm happy to say that my friend whom I'm visiting this weekend is not an axe murderer. Just in case you were worried.
Haven't seen much of Leeds so far as it's been kinda rainy and we've not really done anything bar watch films and talk. Watched Amelie last night, which I loved. Also watched […]
Off for the weekend again today. I have the joy of a minimum of five hours on a train, although with only 10 minutes to change at Bristol, there's always the chance that the journey will end up taking a lot longer. Then I've two and a half hours hanging about in Leeds, waiting for […]
Today I went past the 10,000 hits per month post for the first time! Yay!! And it's not even the 30th yet!
Of course, hits are not equivalent to visitors, so this probably means that just one person has way too much spare time on their hands.
The family at No. 1 lost their little black kitten several weeks ago. They'd searched the ditches on the main road where so many poor, unsuspecting kittens get killed, but to no avail. They'd asked round, checked the vets, but still nothing.
A few days ago, however, the kitty - who had been tagged with an […]
Shortly after I moved home at the end of August, I realised that I had carefully packed away my paying in book, and had not the slightest idea which of my 40 boxes it was in. After a rather half-hearted attempt to find it, I decided it would just be easier to ring my bank […]
You may or may not have noticed quite a bit of disruption on the internet yesterday, with email going all up the swanny and normally reliable websites appearing to just vanish into the ether never to be seen again. (Well, not until after I'd gone to bed, anyway.) Apparently, it was down to a major […]
It’s been coming down stair-rods on and off for the last couple of weeks. The ‘road’ (it’s more of a track really) out front periodically pretends to be a small stream as the water sheets down out of the leaden sky and runs off hills faster than the clay soil can soak it up.
The […]
Seems that Frank Paynter of Sandhill Trek has taken a bit of a shine to Chesney the Celtic Dog, to the extent of featuring him in one of his posts.
Our Chessers would like to tell Frank that he’s chuffed as a small horse to be included on Frank’s blog, and that if Frank is […]
I spent an hour again this morning searching for jobs. The only ones I could find that looked even remotely attractive were ones that I've already been rejected for.
How crap is that?
Still, I've only got another 12 Welsh worksheets left to proofread (out of 42). Once that's done and I've sorted out the Get […]
I've decided that Syndirella is a steaming pile of stinking poo and that I'm fed up with it running like a legless dog and crashing my computer every time it tries to update its feeds. Ok, so having an agreggator that allows me to read stuff offline is handy, but the fact that it keeps […]
That if you mention Michael Jackson in your blog, you get lots more hits. I am, obviously, only reporting this as an item of interest, and not in anyway am I trying to artificially increase the number of hits my blog gets, even if this month I do look like I might break the 10,000 […]
I love Stargate SG1. Maybe it’s the dry humour, maybe it’s the fantasy of travelling to foreign worlds and discovering new cultures, maybe it’s the romanticism of ancient Egypt. More likely that it’s the hot tottie. Michael Shanks’ arse is not to be sneezed at, after all. Even Richard Dean Anderson could eat crackers in […]
Are all very pretty, but they're a bit lacking in grip. One false move and you're a flurry of flailing arms in a losing battle with gravity.
Most of the words currently springing to mind are synonyms for 'ow'.
Ok, so I know I'm a day late, but still, we won!!
I was in a taxi on the way to Ford to catch the train to Brighton during the last few minutes of the game, but we reached the station before the match concluded and didn't find out the score until two hours later […]
