An unexpected trip to the A&E at RUH Bath – and the consequences
Big consequences of 'small' accidents This evening I was pacing around in the A&E at Bath RUH waiting for Françoise to return from having a treatment by the doctor after having been called in for an x-ray. I had to...
What do these videos have to do with anything + Pyrography
Gosh this is heavy material David Rogers Webb - The Great Taking (2024). Highly technical from the financial point of view. I got to this via Mike Yeadon. FINAL WARNING: Dr Mike Yeadon Interview (4K) | Oracle Films....
Just having some fun
I have absolutely nothing in my diary for the rest of this week at least until Saturday. I love it. Who knows what will turn up. Sure enough something did. I noticed by chance that when standing in my back garden I...

Clutton Garden Show – a pictorial tour
Same as last year but many more people due to the clement weather, if slightly windy. So the deal was £4 to get in for adults. There was a very good cake tent but by the time we arrived just after 2:00 p.m., the show...
Wetherspoons should run the country
I am writing this out of sync, so today Friday 8th August 2025 I am writing an in-depth report about Wetherspoons where we stayed over three nights. You can look up the history of this hotel and pub chain but basically...
