  • On the Road

    Just a brief update, back from our weekend in Beadnell with Team Discovery and although none of us have our woes to seek, it was a very pleasant time spent together.  Due to a fractional split in the space time continuum coinciding with a wormhole, the men won the quiz.  But the women were runners…

  • in the bowl of night

    I do not know what is going on just now, but I have been waking up at stupid o’clock; this morning it was 03:38 and do you think I can go back to sleep?  Can I buffalo. So, I have now worked out how to upload pictures from my phone (use the cable for Paul’s…

  • Frittered away**

    Every day, gentle readers*, I empty this site of spam.  There has been a particularly concerted effort lately on the part of someone who seems to believe, and believe strongly, that my life is incomplete because I do not possess an Hermès handbag, specifically a Birkin.  I know what that is, heck, I even know…

  • Post, equinoxial

    As sweet and musical As bright Apollo’s lute, strung with his hair; And when Love speaks, the voice of all the gods Makes heaven drowsy with the harmony. Love’s Labour’s Lost (4.3.289-292) Shakespeare   Thanks to Poppy Lee for that quote and please have a look at her website, she’s a genius.   The trouble with being…

    Hear yourself singing on the radio.  Check. Thanks Mincers and Pedro. More to follow, been a bit out of it yet again, but coming through on the coat tails of the usual suspects.

  • Banking on it

    Nothing new has happened.  This is a Good Thing, there was far too much new stuff earlier on this year.  Although we have been away, to glorious Perthshire (Blair Atholl with the Mincers and Dunkeld by ourselves) and to London.  I think we maybe pushed the envelope until it burst when we went to the…

  • Rabbitrabbitrabbit….

    Jings.  For someone who finds it difficult to shut up, on a record number of occasions this year so far I have been lost for words, bereft of speech, stunned into silence, gobsmacked, and summarily disenfranchised vocally.  This and the manic vortex that has passed for a life recently has resulted in fewer than usual…

  • Total Mince

    Last night After 8 Mince launched their  first CD. Thank you to everyone who came along, and bought copies; to the Groupies who managed the sales, and most of all to the band for the journey. Especially extra huge thanks to Paul for being a total star, and putting up with me being a diva…

  • Marinating

    Yesterday evening the Mincers payed a benefit gig for the RNLI, at Dalgety Bay Sailing Club.  All we did was turn up and play, the organisers did extremely well and raised £750. Haven’t been in the club for some time, and the views are lovely, so I took the camera along.     The below…
