Mutterings and Meanderings: February 2009
http://mutteringsandmeanderings.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Themeless - if not seamless - observations, episodes and soapbox moments, interspersed with the occasional Paddington Bear hard stare. Friday, February 06, 2009. The way we were. In a TV schedule awash with things I don't want to watch, I have been heartened by BBC2's Victorian Farm. Eventually, I found what I was looking for in the most wonderful old brown-paged volume called Economy Success Cookery. I discovered that an ox's tongue - as it is properly called - should be boiled for two and a half hours ...

Mutterings and Meanderings: Brambling
http://mutteringsandmeanderings.blogspot.com/2007/08/brambling.html
Themeless - if not seamless - observations, episodes and soapbox moments, interspersed with the occasional Paddington Bear hard stare. Thursday, August 16, 2007. At school. His. Poems may have been thought-provoking but I much preferred. Something inescapably bloody about brambles; as Seamus says, they look like ‘a plate of eyes’: much more macabre than desiccated bodies in the peat. Brambling always makes me feel somewhat like the prince in Sleeping Beauty. Stay at home dad. 16 August 2007 at 23:00.

Mutterings and Meanderings: Of cars and cleaning
http://mutteringsandmeanderings.blogspot.com/2007/05/cars.html
Themeless - if not seamless - observations, episodes and soapbox moments, interspersed with the occasional Paddington Bear hard stare. Wednesday, May 23, 2007. Of cars and cleaning. My car is a rather clapped out. Called Charlie. I have had him for nearly six years; that’s longer than some marriages last. But I am not kind to him. He is forced to do a 100-mile round trip five days a week; I tell people in his hearing that I want a diesel and I openly lust after a 4x4 with. It was worse when I smoked....

Mutterings and Meanderings: And so the year turns
http://mutteringsandmeanderings.blogspot.com/2008/08/and-so-year-turns.html
Themeless - if not seamless - observations, episodes and soapbox moments, interspersed with the occasional Paddington Bear hard stare. Saturday, August 30, 2008. And so the year turns. Failed to produce a single fruit this year, ditto the pear which admittedly surpassed itself last year with a veritable orchard's worth on its own, and the apples have been poor. The plums - those that were not hijacked by wasps - were good, but yet again the hedgerows are where the real treasure is to be found. I can't be...

Mutterings and Meanderings: July 2008
http://mutteringsandmeanderings.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Themeless - if not seamless - observations, episodes and soapbox moments, interspersed with the occasional Paddington Bear hard stare. Tuesday, July 29, 2008. The delights of dressage. The Grey Mare and I have a new hobby. No, not her dropping me in the long grass when birds fly out of it unexpectedly (which has happened twice in the last month, the first of which necessitated me hobbling around with a stick for two days). but dressage. The lovely soft dressage horseness we had almost achieved at home we...

Navigating a midlife crisis: Dad II
http://mid-lifer.blogspot.com/2009/01/dad-ii.html
Friday, 2 January 2009. Hang on in there Dad. We love you. Of course you love him and to say you are glad he did not succeed is just human nature. What a difficult situation for you all. My love is with you. 4 January 2009 at 05:13. 7 January 2009 at 13:35. 13 January 2009 at 10:13. Very sad about your father. Was it a serious attempt or a cry for help? Perhaps he misses your asking his advice and feels of less use to you. just athought . . 14 January 2009 at 07:30. 22 January 2009 at 02:00. I like your ...

Dusty Traveller: Kyrgyz Taxi Driver Challenge
http://dusty-traveller-uk.blogspot.com/2008/02/kyrgyz-taxi-driver-challenge.html
My travel diary - an exploration of some parts of the world along the route of the ancient Silk Road - the historical link between east and west, which shaped so much of our current world. Thursday, 21 February 2008. Kyrgyz Taxi Driver Challenge. Whilst waiting for a car to take us form the bus station David began his odyssey of trying any and every local item of food and drink – some more successfully than others! Another horticultural fact that has been hushed up by Holland for decades is that Kyrgyzst...
