Great British Bird Watch. Is it wrong to prepare the battle ground with every type of bird food at one’s disposal? We’ll soon find out, I shall update with this year’s total. Please don’t tell me anything about the #T2 film until I have seen it. House sparrow 5 Blackbird 2 Woodpigeon 2 Magpie 1…

“In the real dark night of the soul it is always three o’clock in the morning.” F. Scott Fitzgerald. (Attr.). To be honest I read that in a Snoopy cartoon in the 80s, back when I thought the Daily Mail practised ethical journalism. And in the interests of veracity, it is only 02:50. I am surprised…

I have looked back at the most recent pages of btw and it seems that I keep apologising for not making regular updates. I shan’t do that this time, therefore. Instead, some pictures. We went, ironically as things turn out, to Bo’ness for the first time, and dropped in at the Motor Museum. It has…

Day of rest
Having just perused the internet so much that I found myself on a page where shoppers made their own adverts for Aldi, I do believe it is time for me to put the day to more profitable use, so it behoves me to me employ the water heating device and some dried leaves from a…

Out, out, damned Spotty Dog
Sometimes, and I know you will find this hard to believe, I can’t think of anything to say. No flurry of verbiage rushes unbidden to the tongue. No tales, badly told, of chums’ misdeeds or misfortunes are haphazardly heaped on the hapless listener (ok, enough of that). In truth and in short, I have had…

Yesterday we saw A View From The Bridge at the Lyceum theatre in Edinburgh which was a very well produced and directed show. I do like a play with unsympathetic characters. We also finally watched Moon which was directed by Duncan Jones, which was excellent, sci fi as opposed to space opera, according to…

Peanuts
Today our helpful computer, via WikiHow, advised me that this is National Peanut Butter Month. What, may I ask, is the point of telling me that on the 20th? That’s 19 whole days down the drain!!!! Admittedly for 7 of those I have been almost completely disinterested in food, but that is just so not…
