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

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…
