This Sort of Thing - November 2023 – Second Half
Fyodor Dostoevsky once said. ‘The cleverest of all, in my opinion, is the man who calls himself a fool at least once a month.’ With this in mind I have taken to revealing on the worldwide web the contents of my journal once (maybe twice) a month, allowing fellow worldwide webbers to judge the level of foolery and share their opinion.

Reasons to Be Bulgarian… Naz-dra-vee!
Bulgaria… a paradise that’s maybe a bit rough round the edges. This beautiful country may not be perfect but it’s the perfect home for me and Priyatelkata. We could never live anywhere else. I took my inspiration from Hristo Botev, my lovely neighbours and Ian Dury.

There's little that can beat the atmosphere of a good music festival. I've been to a few but never Glastonbury. I used to go to the WOMAD festival every year near Malmsbury near where you live. It was all what they call 'World Music' which I love...

The Goddess of Death
Posted on Tue, 24 Jun 2025
I'm delighted to see how quickly you've acclimatised to life in Somerset Paul. I vaguely remember there being a pub in Taunton called the Goddess of Death. Their hemlock flavoured crisps are to die for.
Excellent writing! I eagerly await...

Sitting in my shed and writing, I find, are the two great healers in life. I wish there was a light in my shed so that I could go there to write, thereby killing two earwigs with one stone.
I once read somewhere on the internet that...

Hoover hysteria!

Disenchantment
Posted on Thu, 05 Jun 2025
I see where you're coming from Jenny. I feel exactly the same. It depresses me to think about the state of the world today. Sometimes I tell myself to close my eyes to it but that's what people did in Europe in the 1930s with horrific...

Mind
Posted on Sat, 31 May 2025
It's good to remove mundane from the mind. In turn that removes much of the mundane from what lurks outside the mind.

Colours

There's no better balm for the brain than a wild explosion of nature's colours.
Nice one Jenny!
