The Hitchhikers Guide to my Paths and Highways. Thursday, 8 January 2009. Crikey the 8th already, so much to do so little time to do it all. Christmas was great, followed by a very memorable New Year at my sons wine bar, dressed as the local tottie. The theme was "Moulin Rouge", several of my nursing friends (Ruth brought her long term boyfriend 'Pierre' who is French, he really fitted in with the scenery a treat) joined us getting into the spirt of things by dressing up for the celebrations. There was a...

The Hitchhikers Guide to my Paths and Highways. Friday, 29 August 2008. Friday 55 Flash Fiction. FAMOUS WOMEN. Some think me a fruitcake, do you think them right? Whatever, something powers me on. Maybe its because 'you' don't understand their surrender;. I need to be a voice for them. We attack, destroy and torture, without a thought for their plight. I'll defend all animal rights;. PETA is the force to help the fight. A passion for animals. She didn’t like the conditions at the shelter and the wa...

The Hitchhikers Guide to my Paths and Highways. Friday, 24 April 2009. St Georges Day will never be the same to me. It will hold memories of sad times, sharing times, friends and family together. Yesterday was my stepfathers funeral, and, although known always by the name "Doug" he was in fact baptised "George Douglas". Yesterday it was the patron saint, St Georges Day here in sunny, (it was yesterday), England. An opportunity to make Doug's final farewell unique and special - just for him. Doug had actu...

The Hitchhikers Guide to my Paths and Highways. Wednesday, 1 October 2008. I have been home since last Thursday, having spent most of the days since then sleeping, one thing I know its so good to be back in my own surroundings. Tiredness seems to be my best buddie at the moment, and is forever calling me to spend time with it. Your positive thoughts though have performed miracles, I will give you a brief update on procedures so you can see why. All the time I was reassuring my racing heart and panicking ...

Friday, 29 April 2011. Stifado, Solar System, Silence. Stifado is a Greek dish consisting of stewed meat (usually rabbit or beef) and onions. It's been around a quuarter of a century since I last had any, so I've no idea how close my first attempt to make it was. The terrible photograph I took doesn't make it look too bad, but I was so hungry that I wasn't going to mess around taking more than one:. The Americans call this a Crock Pot (tm). My computer had started becoming unreliable, so I went shopping ...

Monday, 31 May 2010. Today is the Late May Bank Holiday. For many people this means spending the day in traffic jams trying to get home from a rainy long weekend somewhere nice, or rather somewhere that would have been nice if it wasn't for the rain and the other hoards of people. And I ordered a vocal score from Amazon which has just arrived. Eventually the question is settled in the time-honoured fashion by a wager. The men agree to let the old man set up an experiment. This involves them prete...One o...

Sunday, 5 September 2010. View from the Sofa. This weekend has been lazier than most - I have hardly moved from my sofa, except for trips to the kitchen to top up on lemon infused soda water, and of course to go to bed. I'm not ill, and nor have I broken any bones. After a busy week at work and without any childcare duties (Helena stayed at home as she wasn't feeling well), it's great to spend a couple of days doing very little. Solving all the Sudokus. Running my Life from my Netbook. Are a way of speci...
