So many things to do

I am listening to a Finnish video "Something in the air - The cell phone radiation documentary".  Youtube have an evil way of keeping our attention. They keep a record of all that we have watched and tempt us to continue by introducing videos in the same genre. There are normally 8 hours in a working day. Mine are - on and off - about 10 hours most of which are spent in front of the computer. ...

Saturday evening – I am tired, or is it fatigued?

I escaped to our allotment today - anything to make a change from my four walls / computer screen. You may ask - why not walk away? The topic is so fascinating that I cannot wait to see the next chapter of the book of death. By that I mean the death of the human society through lies, bribery, evil of the utmost extreme. You think I am kidding? Watch out for the food shortages which are already...

More trouble with the neighbours

So we turn up for day two of the Paulton job. It is a joy to do it but there is a certain lingering of the husband of the customer who died 10 years ago. We had much to burn so started the bonfire about 11am. The wind was fickle and changed direction in an  unpredictable way.  We heard a shout over the back fence. The woman was incoherent but basically said 'everyone has their washing hanging...

A gardening job with difficult neighbours

We went to do a garden clearing job for a fellow congregant who owns a house in Paulton.  It is a lovely job. Since the passing of her husband ten years ago the garden has not been tended and has become overgrown. The lawn had become a field and all the bushes were over run with ivy and brambles. We reckon there is about 24 hours work. At a rough guide, you need one day of remedial work per year...

The North Somerset Show

It is in Failand, somewhat South West of Bristol. We set off at 9am and soon encountered monumental traffic jams. We moved one car's length at a time down a side lane and it took 30 minutes to reach the main road.  I decided to leave the car and walk the mile or so to the show gates. I arrived 20 minutes before the car with its two occupants. The problem with shows is that the quality and...

Glastonbury – Beltane and more on this Mayday (not M’aidez)

The celebrations started at sunrise or what would have been sunrise had we been able to see it. Dancing round the maypole and the like started 7.30 am. Celebrations were held all over the town. We arrived about 9.30 am. We were joined by a visiting friend from Peterborough.  Sometimes you meet people and there is an obvious 'click'. You have not met them before but they are familiar to you. No...
