The Bath and West Show – my sixth visit?
To sunny skies did we venture, arriving at about 11.45 to this one of the four largest shows of this type in the UK. It felt a bit like deja vu with many familiar stands so instead I decided to seek out individuals and...
Extra – disgusting video – who thought this up?
Sometimes I become so outraged that I have to share things like this. I know my exemplar Samuel Pepys would have done. Schools teach children to masturbate! What is this world coming to. Skip this if you are easily...
A pictorial visit to Bath for my eye injection
To my great relief the uncomfortable chair which we had to sit on whilst receiving the injection has been replaced by a very comfortable mattress. Relaxing was far easier. Sometimes when I am injected I get a large red...
The last day of our guest
In the morning- we hung around then I decided to take Andrew to my very knowledgeable friend Terry. He knows a lot about American indeed world politics and all that is going on behind the scenes. He can speak for two...
An Arty Day in Bath
The Bear Flat area of Bath in Somerset is one of the most sort after areas in the 'arty' field. Every year they have a festival where 20 or so artists and designers open their homes to the public and display their...
Return from Cornwall

A successful visit to an acupuncturist

So this was a conference on Electro-sensitivity in a small village north of Yeovil by the name of Odcombe. 130 people attended. It was like being part of a long lost family. Frequency and wavelength are the key...
He is 95 years of age, she is 91
Watch this FB video. Complaints about being OLD anyone???? Went to Wetherspoons this morning for my usual Freedom Breakfast plus a coffee. Each time I go, the prices increase. This time I paid £6.40. I recall paying...
Interesting articles
I spend most of my day reading articles mostly pertaining to COVID and the after effects. These I load on to my site, covid-unmasked.net. From time to time I come across articles that do not quite fall under that...
Something is afoot in London – a coronation perhaps
So what could this be? I remember on the last coronation day I was on the embankment riding on my father's shoulders. It was dark so if I recall it was a firework show or similar. I have to hand it to the Brits, we...
A day of telephone calls
If I recall this is my first diary entry about phone calls but they all seemed to happen at once. Last evening I inquired about private medical insurance. This morning I spoke for about half an hour to a very keen and...
