  • Out and about, with bells on Just like last weekend, I went out on Friday and Sunday again. This Friday was Kendal’s annual carnival, the "Torchlight Procession", to which I haven’t been for quite a few years, probably the last time was when our band played at the Town Hall dance afterwards. I fe...
  • Skinny Eddie Lizzard The family "situation" has been getting me down, it’s not really my problem but my mum has been in the firing line and she doesn’t deserve it. Other people’s problems often affect me more than my own, and because it’s my lovely mum that is suffering I feel it too. I’ve woken ...
  • Just say "No", or "maybe", well it depends... Ah dear, family problems, though rather amazingly this time they don’t directly involve me. Maybe I should be pleased, but I can’t be ‘cos it’s just not nice. I don’t wish to go into details though. Had a "difficult" email today, a little unpleasant s...
  • Like waiting for a bus Last night turned out to be considerably more interesting than I had anticipated. Went out for a meal with mum and bruv and his partner, just down the local Indian (fantastic by the way), sorry Tiina I mentioned food again. We headed back towards mum’s house reaching the T-...
  • Living off the land, um, almost… Nice to see the return of good weather, it’s been a lovely day here. I walked into town to collect my car, having got a taxi home the other night. On the way I noticed some field mushrooms growing outside Kendal cricket club, just a few, but beauties so I picked t...
  • Tired but happy Gosh am I tired. Another good night last night, and another couple of old friends were met. Went to mum’s first to meet her and Angie, and unknown to me, Jill, who was a replacement in a band I used to play with (there have been quite a few). Another lovely girl, and it was nice t...
  • Concealed, but not hidden So, anyway, right, yeah. Um, last night, brilliant. (Can you tell I’ve been hanging out with rock musicians?) A few more people got to meet the real me last night. My brother is up again with his good lady, so we all went out to see the reincarnation of the last band I ...
  • No man's land Just been to the dentist, somewhat overdue for a check-up and I had a little chip on the corner of a tooth (I know, I know I should stop eating chips). I hadn’t informed them of my change of name, and at this stage decided not to, maybe next time. So I went just in baggy pants and a...
  • You’ve got a friend ‘Twas a rather dull week last week. I avoided going out as much as possible due to a severe case of shaving rash. Little blemishes I can hide (I’m thinking of buying shares in L’oreal concealer), big lumps I cannot. Bloody testosterone, it’s poison, I hate it. I’m guessing it ...
  • Pennies from heaven (Re: last comments) You’re quite right Pippa, remarkably astute; we’ll make a psychologist out of you yet. Bunny is also right, I have no need to explain myself, but I did want to state the facts just in case one certain ex-wife should happen to visit again, as she was obvious...
