Nick Nack Blog Attack: July 2010
http://thatbaldyfella.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 6 July 2010. Oh such a transport of delight is the London omnibus. Its glorious red streaked black with pollution and grime, its many seats filled to bursting with unspeakable deposits and untold germs, its countless passengers slowly baking in their own and other people's juices. A London bus is summer is truly a thing of splendour and wonder. They don;t really look like cauliflower ears, though. Is it a medical condition? Was he born like that? Or are they simply weirdly shaped? Sadly, we shal...

Nick Nack Blog Attack: Nurse Gladys And Mary Ellen Baines - Part The First
http://thatbaldyfella.blogspot.com/2010/10/nurse-gladys-and-mary-ellen-baines-part.html
Monday, 4 October 2010. Nurse Gladys And Mary Ellen Baines - Part The First. She worked on many different wards in her time as a nurse and saw some pretty harrowing things (particularly during the war and also in her time on the children's ward which she vowed never to do again) but she never really told us about that. No, the two stories that stick in my mind about Nana's time as a nurse are the one about the teeth and the one where she got herself an honest-to-goodness nemesis. Great story, Nick! I wen...

Nick Nack Blog Attack: Airport Week - Departure Lounge
http://thatbaldyfella.blogspot.com/2011/10/airport-week-departure-lounge.html
Tuesday, 18 October 2011. Airport Week - Departure Lounge. Our week of reposts continues with this post from five years ago when I was airport stewarding single-type man. The roads are quiet and the ammoniac tang of last night's urine hangs about the Actonian streets. No one about except me, the cats, a few Saturday night stragglers and the cab drivers. For a brief time, Acton is mine for the taking. I decide to give it back. 6 am Work has begun. The fluttering of tickets, the squeak of airport troll...

I apologize in advance: #316: in 5's
http://hostilefay.blogspot.com/2015/07/316-in-5s.html
Because bad taste is better than no taste at all. I apologize In Advance. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. So I've been dwelling on this for a month or so. Haven't slept much in that time, as I thought about what I was going to say. Tried rehearsing it as a speech- what did I have to fear, from this audience of one? Couldn't eat. Couldn't think. Driven near to distraction. Finally, the pieces fell into place, and we could talk. All those careful thoughts were useless, I still cried a bit. Regarding what qualifica...

I apologize in advance: #315: Thanks a Bunch.

Because bad taste is better than no taste at all. I apologize In Advance. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. 315: Thanks a Bunch. I seem to remember thanks being in order, but I can no longer remember your name. Come to think about it, I don't even really remember what you looked like, or how old you were at the time. All I remember is you invited me to your sleepover. Maybe you felt sorry for me, because my cousin was having one, too, and you understood how miserable it was to not have friends of your own. And I...

I apologize in advance: #314: Shifting gears......
http://hostilefay.blogspot.com/2015/07/shifting-gears.html
Because bad taste is better than no taste at all. I apologize In Advance. Saturday, July 4, 2015. So last week, I managed to unload more things- specifically, old photographs. Some I scanned in and have on a flash drive; others I were extras. Still more were ones of a former life I am no longer a part of, and so no longer need. These were all packed in a paper grocery bag, and left with the stepmom. A trade: a daughter for old memories. Needless to say, I am not looking forward to this conversation.

This weekend (July 14th), the Friends of Wilson Island. The sand dunes in ...
