Today was a day indeed. We had to travel to Oxford to attend the funeral of a very dear friend of us both; Susannah. Rain and clouds on the journey were the norm. We wanted to avoid the motorways but unfortunately chose a direction which involved the highways and byways including the dreaded A303 at Stone Henge, always a lot of traffic there. We left somerset about 10:30 this morning and...
We now have a direct service to Bristol which does not go around the houses but directly from the end of my street to Bristol Bus Station taking a mere 51 minutes. We took the 11.14 to that city and seated ourselves upstairs at the front for the best view. Nothing much has changed since my teen-years. Definitely the best seats in the bus if you dont mind less leg-room. There is something about...

He earns most of his living income from writing comedy scripts for the BBC...

There were fewer stands (due to c****) but enough choice for me being seduced into buying a lovely walnut and almond slice. We wandered around the High street where mercifully there were fewer mask wearers. We had been...
Last night I attended a ZOOM meeting. The conversation was slated to be on covid. After the usual gay banter we got down to it. I told the 12 attendees that I had a covid web site and gave a demo of what it contained. I had organised a private page on my site so people could input whatever they felt was appropriate without the general public seeing it. I led a discussion on how we change...
