Still managing... in blackpropaganda

to keep it up (as the bishop said to the actress) - of course I mean writing or putting something up (hmm) every day. Went to the cinema yesterday evening. We do not go very much because the soun...

Quick quickie in blackpropaganda

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...

A good day all round in blackpropaganda

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...

Feeling like Noah!!! in blackpropaganda

Responses and Barney in blackpropaganda

Dinner party in blackpropaganda

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...

Close to death...... in blackpropaganda

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...

Just one for Sunday in blackpropaganda



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...

November miscellany in blackpropaganda

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!!!...

Trick and treat in blackpropaganda

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...
