Scottish Lady: juli 2011
http://scottish2011.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Lamlash naar Peel (eiland Man). Maandag 11 juli: Walvis. Bij het ronden van Arran kwam Ierland al in zicht. Op weg naar Campbeltown op Kintyre zag ik in de verte een groep dolfijnen of was het iets groots? JP stuurde richting de plek waar kolken aan het wateroppervlak zichtbaar waren. Nog geen 25 meter van ons af kwam er een walvis van zo'n 10 meter voorbij. Volgens locals was het een Minke Whale. Dinsdag 12 juli: Achamore Gardens. Woensdag 13 juli: Mull-of kintyre naar Ierland. As he carries me home to,...

West Coast Ramblings: Sixty - It's a Dangerous Age
http://west-coaster.blogspot.com/2009/09/sixty-its-dangerous-age.html
The coherent ramblings of a hopeful wanderer. Sunday, September 20, 2009. Sixty - It's a Dangerous Age. I'm sixty this year, in fact in June past. It's the kind of number that makes one pause for thought. The usual topics come to mind; the flabbing body, the turkey neck, worries about the prostate (already realised in the case of my older brother), retirement, the older years if we live long enough or too long, mortality; What does it all mean? Is there a life after death? View my complete profile. Raven...

The coherent ramblings of a hopeful wanderer. Saturday, March 04, 2006. TMA 07 - Masculinity and Femininity. Just to keep you up to date with what I'm not working on, I have to do the following for submission by the 31st March:. In no more than 1500 words, with careful reference to two of the following works, show how attributes traditionally associated with masculinity and femininity are contrasted:. A Play by George Bernard Shaw. A Tragedy by Euripides. A Symphonic Poem by Richard Strauss. I don't do t...

West Coast Ramblings: Then We Came To The End - Joshua Ferris
http://west-coaster.blogspot.com/2008/02/then-we-came-to-end-joshua-ferris.html
The coherent ramblings of a hopeful wanderer. Sunday, February 17, 2008. Then We Came To The End - Joshua Ferris. Part of it's strength, for me. is that it is a book about a set of characters completely outside of my experience - it's set in a Chicago advertising agency - and I feel I'm being drawn in. Hopefully the effort of sticking with it to now will be rewarded. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This blog will be used to post some of my ramblings and, sometimes, more coherent writing.

West Coast Ramblings: The Truth
http://west-coaster.blogspot.com/2008/01/truth.html
The coherent ramblings of a hopeful wanderer. Saturday, January 19, 2008. So there I was, gazing in the window at the old printing machinery when these two cops came up to me and said 'What were you doing in that doorway, son'? When I stood up there were these two guys, that it was only two came as a shock, but there they stood, between us and the door, a beer tumbler in each hand. 'C'mon ya bastards! Furiously. She was the loveliest creature and she had picked me! But before we could take things a stage...

West Coast Ramblings: On Chesil Beach - Ian McEwen
http://west-coaster.blogspot.com/2008/03/on-chesil-beach-ian-mcewen.html
The coherent ramblings of a hopeful wanderer. Saturday, March 15, 2008. On Chesil Beach - Ian McEwen. I enjoyed this book. It was short and pacey and an enjoyable read from start to finish. I see it is described as a novella, which is probably right. At the start of the book the author has a laugh at the expense of the sex education manuals prevalent in post-war Britain. This is sharply described with quotes such as;. Not long before he enters her. Now, at last he enters her. Florence asks herself .

West Coast Ramblings: In Praise of Louis Armstrong
http://west-coaster.blogspot.com/2011/11/in-praise-of-louis-armstrong.html
The coherent ramblings of a hopeful wanderer. Wednesday, November 16, 2011. In Praise of Louis Armstrong. Luckily I bought Terry Teachout's. And it took me deeper and allowed me to appreciate Satchmo's later ensemble work, especially with the All Stars. The Town Hall concert in New York in 1949 was something of a rebirth for Armstrong and, after reading of the trauma that he went through when his lip split some years earlier, it's a joy to hear him here on top form physically and musically. Books I Have ...

The coherent ramblings of a hopeful wanderer. Sunday, June 08, 2008. Hello again. I've not been away, I've just been blogging lazy. You know how it goes, you just can't get past that feeling of ennui, and it's just too much effort to open the laptop and log in. It happens to the best bloggers and goodness knows I'm far from the best. Hey, welcome back - i had wondered what happened to you! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

West Coast Ramblings: Why Don't You All Fuck Off!
http://west-coaster.blogspot.com/2008/07/why-dont-you-all-fuck-off.html
The coherent ramblings of a hopeful wanderer. Thursday, July 24, 2008. Why Don't You All Fuck Off! And think for yourselves. The number of people googling "show how attributes traditionally associated with masculinity and femininity are contrasted in Pygmalion" or Medea or whatever and reaching my pathetic little blog has reached ridiculous heights. I swear if it wasn't for something what I wrote over two years ago, which was a load of old shite by the way, then I would have no hits at all.

West Coast Ramblings: A Good Ride
http://west-coaster.blogspot.com/2008/09/good-ride.html
The coherent ramblings of a hopeful wanderer. Monday, September 15, 2008. Taking a leaf from The Ill Man's. Next to Pencil Point:. Which some of you may know commemorates the Battle of Largs in 1263 when a load of teddy boys from Greenock were chucked out of the dancing at the Moorings and, in a febrile lather after listening to the hip sounds of the Henri Morrison Swingstars, set about a crowd of the locals outside of Macari's chippy.
