Timekeeping

Posted on Wed, 15 Jul 2026

Poor timekeepers should be punished with a horse whip, in my opinion. Thankfully cicadas and fireflies still use filofaxes (or is it filofices?).

Lithuania's lush, and not busy. A great place for a few days away from home and / or tourists...

Grateful

Posted on Wed, 15 Jul 2026

I'm very grateful for your kind words Paul. Thank you.

What makes this sort of writing easy is living in a place where 'anything can happen in the next half hour', as they used to say on Stingray, and being retired so I have plenty of...

Mammoth effort

Posted on Tue, 14 Jul 2026

That's been a mammoth effort on your part, and an excellent read, Paul, from start to finish. I admire your creative stamina and hope to see a future draft go to print.

Very well done fella!

Gladness

Posted on Tue, 14 Jul 2026

I'm glad to hear everyone's survived this. And I was beginning to think that this was the end, so I'm glad to see there's more.

Poor Barbara!

Posted on Mon, 13 Jul 2026

Having moved around a bit, I remember well the frustrating aspects of house buying and selling in England. There are only a few people who don’t have a horror story, so my fingers are crossed for some progress with your lady soldier. It took me...

Pesticides

Yer Blues

Posted on Sat, 11 Jul 2026

I’ve just seen this. I hadn’t noticed that you posted twice yesterday.

I can just imagine you singing it on the veranda of a wooden shack somewhere in the swamplands of the Avon Delta, chewing on your tobacco and taking large swigs of...

Shedding

Posted on Sat, 11 Jul 2026

You say Shedim, I say tomato. You say spirits, I say rakia.

More than fifty years ago, a kid in my class at school in Leeds told me that he used to go shedding. I had no idea what he meant so I asked him to explain. He said it was what...

Sticks and stones

Posted on Sat, 11 Jul 2026

Aye, I'll 'ave 'em... which is an easy thing to say from 3,000 kms away.

My thin skin grew thicker. Folks can say whatever they want these days. It's like sticks and stones off a duck's back.

See my baby jibe

Posted on Sat, 11 Jul 2026

The durty skite! Did you not jibe back? I would have done. Tell me who it was and I’ll jibe for you.
