Are you a tea or coffee person….? I’m tea. A Simple cup of strong tea with a bit of milk and that’s me sorted. I dislike coffee very much, probably because we never had it when I was growing up. We couldn’t afford it, in fact the six of us had to share a teabag. […]

I love adverts for cars….very clean, not a mark on them as they drive speedily through a deserted City or a lonely road in the middle of nowhere. It’s not real life though is it. Clogged up Cites are a nightmare. Hull is awful at times, going east to west can take over an hour, […]
It’s been a crazy few days. My three came home for a few days, plus partners and two grandkids. A wonderful, crazy time which felt similar to running a marathon every day for a week, inhaling laughing gas and climbing over a sky high Lego wall. The weather was beautiful, clear blue and very warm […]
At last! Warm weather and a decent forecast for a few days! Time to get my milky legs out and get tanned up like a Greek God….or in my case, a ruin…. I’m not the most attractive person in the world but my word you see some appalling sights this time of year. Yesterday I saw […]
Friends…. Roman’s….. Country men…Lend me your lug’oles…. Dodecahedron….. That’s exactly what I thought… This bad boy was found in a small village in Lincolnshire called Norton Disney, no it’s not Walt’s brother it’s a place. (His ancestors do hail from there apparently) According to the archaeologists it’s 1700 years old. The Romans were very busy […]
So there I was, sat there watching the black and white telly. It’s Saturday morning, a bit rainy so I’m indoors. No running around causing mayhem for me. Luckily The Multi Coloured Swap Shop was on. It may have been multi coloured for many but for me it was several shades of grey on a […]
Ants….wonderful, amazing, intelligent creatures that have been around a zillion years and can survive anything….How do you get rid of them?! The little buggers are in the dining room, uninvited of course. I’ve asked them nicely to leave but they don’t seem to listen, the little blighters. I’m just reading about them, and guess what? […]
🎶…. Oh I say to myself…what a wonderful world…… 🎶…. Louis Armstrong…. what a guy…first man to play a trumpet on the moon. Then got on his bike and won the Tour De France seven times…. got caught cheating but then old Louis ended up inventing pasteurised milk I think….What a guy….. I see Nigel […]
Hello hello! How’s the week been for you? Did you gaze wondrously at the solar eclipse? It didn’t come my way but if it had its been chucking it down for days with dark, laden skies…. I am currently painting the kitchen. Not actually now cos I’m blogging and that would make a bigger mess […]

Weekly rubbish 06/04/24
Where do I begin…Man alive, the world we live in… What a bloody awful time it is. So much strife, death and hate. Maybe it’s just the human condition, that we have to fight, kill and conquer. It’s gone on since…..well forever. Now of course it’s straight onto the TV. I don’t know about you […]
Well this week I’ve been as busy as a Chinese hacker. What about you? No, no that’s not the Chinese hacker’s name….it’s quite a few of them apparently. Still, I’d rather have a cyber war than the real thing…. My ‘Eating Healthily Regime’ has not been going too well. I’ve gone off the rails of […]
Hello my friend! How’s it going? Had a touch of spring yesterday… Warm sun on my face…just beautiful… I see in Russia after a very tight election, old Vlad has done it again. Putin must be so well liked over there. He didn’t have any real opposition as they’d be dead within six months but […]
Hello dear reader! How’s it been this week? Done anything different? Traversed a mountain dressed as a cat for Comic Relief? Or just the same old, same old? Here’s what’s been happening for me…. Oh man it’s been Oscar time again. More glamour and glitz than a drag queen convention. Outfit makers in Tinseltown doing […]
Hello dear reader and how’s the week been for you? Anything reasonably exciting happened? Or just a run of the mill seven days? I’m going to try and do a weekly blog, about anything and everything. Whatever comes into this murky cavelike brain of mine. I’m visiting my daughter in the Czech Republic and it’s […]
Life is a busy thing isn’t it. Even when you’re doing nothing it seems to go as fast as a formula 1 car these days. Where does the time go? From getting up for tablets and brekkie to going to bed with a few more tablets, that in between bit just zooms by. Before I […]
Greggs cafe in Hull… I never knew Mahatma Gandhi was partial to a bacon sandwich…..
Thank God Christmas is over. In-laws everywhere, wrecking the house like squatters on acid. Scoffing everything in sight then complaining they’ve eaten too much as if we’ve forced food into their gobs like the gluttony scene in Seven. A couple of years ago my sister in law couldn’t breath after the Christmas meal. She thought […]
Where do you live? No I don’t want your actual address, I’m not a stalker. I won’t be going on Google maps to see your crib. No I mean what’s it like? Nice area? Quiet streets with neatly trimmed lawns? Good or bad neighbours? Is it a hustle, bustle kind of place? High rise apartments […]
All hallows Eve….an ancient festival from the Pagans? I’m not sure, all I know is I’ve just been attacked by two screaming witches, a wizard, three zombies and a monster. All I did was answer the door with a tray of sweets. A group of seven year olds dived on me, shouting, “Happy Halloween!” I […]
What is it with train stations? I’ve been to quite a few in my time and you always seem to get a lot of broken people congregating there. The drinkers, drug takers. Lost people looking for what? I had to pick my niece up the other night at Hull Station. It was late, nearly midnight. […]
Life is a rusty rollercoaster
