Saturday 27 August 2011 For a while now I’ve been unhappy with our bathrooms. Actually, since we moved into the farmhouse in 1996 I’ve been unhappy with the majority of the rooms, but the bathrooms in particular are hideous, probably because I always feel a bathroom suite can identify its age in an instant. The [...]

So, what have I been up to?

Monday 17 January 2011 We spent the day at dad’s sorting out more of mum’s things, having given up on hoarding them. I listed some stuff on Freecycle and a lady left this morning having acquired a knitting machine and everything she could possibly want to go with it. She was subjected to a ‘show-and-tell’ [...]

Tuesday 31 August 2010 This morning Gordon came in with a big grin on his face. Ferdinand’s first live calf was born during the night – and she’s female. Her mother Nancy was out with the herd as we had no due date for her although we knew she must be near her time, which [...]
Bristol in the Sunshine

Tuesday 20 April 2010 Yesterday my sister Terri and I went shopping in Bristol, our nearest city. It was a glorious day and we were able to walk around without coats. Some children were walking around without any clothes at all, but they were paddling in this – and this: and they weren’t very old! [...]
And Shoes!

Monday 29 March 2010 I popped over to Clarks Village in Street today and spotted these (pinker than they look in the photo) shoes. Well, I couldn’t resist, could I? Especially as they were reduced from £79 to £19! I’ll make sure there is at least one photo of me in my complete ensemble on [...]
A Dress!

Sunday 28 March 2010 On Thursday Gordon and I are going to a wedding and all the guests have been requested to wear something pink as the bride suffered from breast cancer a few years ago and has since recovered. I like this idea although neither of us had anything pink. We’re not really ‘pink [...]
Busy Week And A New Camera

Friday 19 March 2010 Since I last wrote I’ve done the following: Transferred data from an old computer to a new one for a friend, an all-afternoon job because the old computer was pretty old and downloaded at the slowest rate I’ve seen for a long time. 3.5 Gbs of data and about four hours [...]
First Prize

Monday 3 August 2009 I entered the East Huntspill Annual Summer Show this year after vowing to for several years previously, but having been asked to judge the photographic entries for two years I thought I would enter this year instead. Typically the other entries were excellent and far superior to last year’s snapshots – [...]
Happy Birthday to Alex

Wednesday 21 January 2009 Today I was woken by the sound of my phone ringing: it was Alex who contacted me so I could wish her Happy Birthday. (Well, she gets free calls for goodness sake!) She’s reached the grand old age of twenty and feels that a part of her life is over. I [...]
In Preparation

Saturday 3 January 2009 So far the New Year seems to have been tiptoeing around me. I’ve hardly known it’s there. It hasn’t done anything to bring itself to my attention and that’s fine by me. I’m not sure what I was expecting really but certainly not this constantly freezing weather. I milked on Wednesday, [...]
