This has to be a quickie because we are off to see a film soon - so just to see - I am already pissed off by tv Christmas adverts - and what I hate most is where they have lots of snow and everyo...

As regular readers will know I am a great fan of Strictly Come Dancing - it really is amazing that ‘celebrities’ with little or no dance experience can come up with a routine every week - and be ...

---

Another grey day - but plenty to do at home since I started clearing out a desk - which leads to more clearing out etc etc - it certainly passes the time. Now trying to work out the best time to...

---

Thank goodness we had the long walk yesterday - today has been terrible - rain and hail showers - and the possibility of snow showers tonight - and ice tomorrow morning. Since the wind is coming...

---

After the gloom and doom we had a good day. We were able to do the walk with no rain at all - we could see showers out to sea, but none came close - and the paths were easily negotiable. So a sol...

---

We saw the the sun today - but this was interspersed with heavy showers. I can understand how this gets people down - I am quite an affable bloke but dark skies, continuous rain, and wetness all ...

---

There is no doubt that in a number of ways the attacks in Paris are another kind of watershed in how we live our lives - but I worry when President Hollande uses the rhetoric of fighting a war to...

It seems a long time ago but there was a time when we were regularly going out to someone’s house for dinner at the weekend, or giving a dinner party for six people. It was a great way to keep in...

---

You go out for the evening to a charity quiz - SW… was at another function - I get in before her - turn on the tv and am confronted by the live pictures from Paris. The obvious thing is to turn t...

Been very careful today since it is Friday 13th - and so far so good! Went to an art exhibition opening last night (Thursday) - only to find have driven for 15 miles that it had been on Wednesday...

---

The front page news in the tabloids is the conviction of a 28 year-old man and his 21 year old girlfriend of the murder of his sixteen year old step-sister. She was the daughter of the father in ...

Remembrance Day - and quite fortuitously we were at the town’s war memorial just before 11 am and so were able to be there for the two minutes silence - and the trumpet calls. Glad about that - a...

---

So after the alarms of yesterday I drove carefully to a funeral - luckily, as it turned out, not mine - an old colleague again - this time someone who had been ill for some time - she never marri...

---

No jokes today. I was driving to the venue for today’s walk along a straight piece of road - a car travelling behind me - when ahead I saw a car on my side of the road overtaking another car - an...

I came across this ugly word in the report of the trial of a DJ who has been accused of indecently assaulting young women under 16 when they were hanging around outside the radio station. Needles...

So, I have time on Guy Fawkes Day to write something more substantial. It seems that Halloween has really taken over from Guy Fawkes - no doubt because the concept of burning a Catholic effigy on...

Just a few more jokes NovemberJokeMonth

If I run out of things to write in November I shall have an illustration - so let’s have one today - I really like this joke

---

The sun is splitting the sky this morning - a great autumn day as we go into November - and the temperature might reach 14 degrees C. A pity the grass is so wet (irony) or I could cut the lawn!!!...

---

We have the goodies ready for Saturday night in case any kids call - although they are all grown up now so only next door come along. So a token nod to Halloween. We are off to the city this afte...

We went to a wine tasting last night - eight Australian wines - four white, four red - all from South Australia - and what a joy is was. From an 11% Riesling to a 14% Cabernet retailing at £55. N...
