I got my A Level results on

Posted on Tue, 22 Aug 2023

I got my A Level results on Friday 13th August 1976. They weren't brilliant grades but they were what I needed for university, though within six months I realised that I didn't need university.

I also went to the pub with three mates. We...

It's a great feeling leaving

Posted on Wed, 23 Aug 2023

It's a great feeling leaving a job. 

I was thinking of re-writing Paul Simon's song 'Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover' to fit in with all the jobs I've left but when I counted them up I discovered there'd only been forty-two which would have...

Of course Rhiannon. Good on

Posted on Mon, 21 Aug 2023

Of course Rhiannon. Good on you and the staff for getting it right,

It takes time to assess what might be the best approach. Many of the people I saw were victims of dementia and sometimes quite aggressive. I had to weigh up each of them...

This is a great story. It

Posted on Sat, 19 Aug 2023

This is a great story. It kept me wondering to the end... and beyond.

There's probably enough dust and dog hairs in our hoover bag to recreate the Dagenham Girl Pipers.

I'll be back in a few days...

For children there are few

Posted on Mon, 21 Aug 2023

For children there are few places more mysterious and exciting than a wood. Every tree and every small clearing is a source of intrigue and adventure. And every noise is that of a wild beast coming to eat us up until we see that it's only a...

Your ability to make

Posted on Sun, 20 Aug 2023

Your ability to make Birmingham sound like such a beautiful place emphasises your skill as a wordsmith. I'm tempted to book a holiday there.

The raising of Madam Medusa's head gave me the shivers a bit but put a timestamp on your writing....

I had to go and Google this

Posted on Fri, 18 Aug 2023

I had to go and Google this but it’s beautiful music. The sombre sound from the ‘cello is perfect for being murdered to.

Succinctly, you’ve described the incident very well, creating an atmosphere of a surreal crime scene that I could...

Telling folks that you were

Posted on Thu, 17 Aug 2023

Telling folks that you were in a drinking game with a room full of soft toys is a great way to explain away a hangover. I might try that one myself.

I like the Benny Hill Show reference too. When you made your dash for it were you being...

Nice words Rhiannon.

Posted on Thu, 17 Aug 2023

Nice words Rhiannon.

Oh for a drop of drizzle here now. We had a huge thunderstorm with torrential rain a couple of nights ago but by mid morning the next day the ground was back to its usual concrete state.
