Friday 30 March 2012 My new phone has a very decent camera on it unlike my old phone which was so awkward to use that by the time I’d sorted out what I was supposed to do to get it on the screen, the moment had passed. Whilst fetching the cows today I tried to [...]

Tuesday 14 February 2012 Yesterday the District Council Planning Officers toured the area to look at our patch of land from different perspectives. They went up into the Quantocks and looked down, then went to the Mendips to do the same thing. The aim of this exercise was to see how much of an impact [...]
Tweeting

Saturday 28 January 2012 Don’t ask me why, but yesterday I thought I might like to join Twitter, having never shown any interest in it before. So I joined. Now what do I do? I’ve looked at the home page trying to work out …. what? I don’t even really know what Twitter is! Today [...]

Tuesday 18 October 2011 Next week Gordon and I are going to a wedding so yesterday I went with my sister to The Mall at Cribbs Causeway to look for a short black cardigan and black shoes. We had a great time looking around but even with the huge selection of shops there we were [...]
Returning to my Roots

Monday 20 June 2011 For as long as I remember, and certainly back to my late teens, I have coloured my hair. To begin with I coloured it to keep up with the latest fashion so it was either ‘plum’ or ‘burgundy’ and occasionally ‘deep conker red’, but lately it’s stayed somewhere around ‘light mid-brown’. [...]
Pirates

Thursday 26 May 2011 I went to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean film yesterday at Taunton with my friends Viv, Greg and Pippa (Orange Wednesday, apparently!). It was in 3D. I don’t go to the cinema very often since we’re quite a way from the nearest one so this was my first 3D [...]
Cuckoo Spit Time

Sunday 15 May 2011 It’s that time of year again when every plant is covered with cuckoo spit. I’m not sure about this though – It’s more like cuckoo dribble.
Well, Surprise, Surprise!

Thursday 21 April 2011 Imagine me with my hands on my hips, shaking my head sadly. The poor old hall is still unpapered, but in Gordon’s defence he and Dan have ploughed and power-harrowed a twenty acre field, finishing around 7.30 pm each evening. I can’t complain I suppose since the weathermen originally predicted rain [...]
Motivated

Tuesday 19 April 2011 Since it doesn’t happen very often, I’ve gone with it. The computer has stayed firmly off until today (which of course gives me a backlog of junk mail to clear) and I’ve been getting on with other stuff, mostly decorating and gardening. The hall has finally come back into play and [...]
Mystery Solved

Tuesday 5 April 2011 “Someone phoned” he said. “Who?” I asked him. “Not sure. It was a lady. The word ‘red’ was involved. And she said she had more work for you.” “Well, that’s helpful” I told him. “Did she give you her name?” “She may have, but I didn’t get it. Might have been [...]
