Behold the ‘Man Engine’

I would not expect most people to sit through 36 min 33 seconds of this but I just wanted to give you a sense of the atmosphere of a new brand that will be travelling round the country just in case you see it advertised.  It stops suddenly because my battery gave up its Power. Story starts here: Today I gave a special surprise to Francoise. I heard on the news this morning about this Men Machine...

Quotable quotes on the Wilde side

My favourite quoter of all time is Oscar Wilde and I have just given in again to Amazon.co.uk and ordered a book of his quotes. "to live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all" "If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you" I know you can get then on the Internet but this book will make ideal bedtime reading, actually any time...

I did not feel entirely comfortable about sending it out today Monday but I could think of no "reason" for this feeling. However, I have decided to...

Easter Day – is life worth living?

I had a strange conversation yesterday afternoon  with someone on my way to Sainsburys. He was mumbling to himself and said that the weather meant that "life was not worth living". I replied fairly incoherently that it wasn't the weather that was the point but I was struck by his stance. He started speaking to me when he was behind me which is quite unusual and he continued to speak after he...
