Pink

Posted on Fri, 16 May 2025

When my partner and I buy plants from a garden centre near to where we live, we ask what colour the flowers will be. The lady proprietor always replies 'mixed' which means that she has no idea. Generally they turn out to be pink.

Weather or not

I used to treasure the words of my dear old Nan from Sunderland but I could never agree with her 'Cast ne'er a clout 'til May is out' proverb.

Pick of the Dream Pops

Posted on Thu, 08 May 2025

It must be very difficult for any musical performers from Mullingar to succeed, living as they do in the shadow of the immortal Joe Dolan. So fair play to the Gone Forevers. I'm glad their lyrics are in Swedish. I wish Abba could have done the...

Ah now, I'm delighted by this news. I've been confined to the house most of the day by a huge thunderstorm so this has fair cheered me up.
