Ban the Wasp – life in Fife.

Welcome to my blog, originally set up for family history, now a touch point for friends and family worldwide. Older chaotic version available here.

Chemicals

I have noticed a trend recently whereby people announce their intention to steer clear of products “stuffed with chemicals”. Everything has chemicals, is made from chemicals, and unless you are a vacuum you cannot get away from this fact. I know that what they mean is that they wish to eschew pollutants or carcinogenics, but…

Still hot

So the heat got to my brain yesterday and I proved that yet again I cannot tell west from east. Corrections made, before you all start phoning me to crow about it.

Hot

Very hot yesterday, consequently Deep Sea World was relatively quiet when we went there with the Burgess family. In the afternoon we set off to find the western WW1 gun emplacements, which we did not visit last time. They are not as visible as the east set, but we took some pictures on the walk…

Collectables

Oh we did enjoy that film. Have been looking at Ebay of late, finding some fairly random articles for sale. There’s good money to be had for authentic vintage Sindy dolls.

Film

Tension mounts in Château Holmes as the launch date for the new Star Trek film draws tantalisingly closer, it says here. To stave off cultural drought until that time, we raided the world cinema section of HMV yesterday, realising that for the price of 2 cinema tickets (without trough of popcorn (bleurgh) or vat of…

Birthday

Guess that’s all the excitement over then, I have had my birthday lunch, which was a grand affair, and we have been to Amsterdam for a look at the tulips. Turned out we were not the only people with that single vision, which when you think about it is not surprising. Highlights for me were:…
