Being and Thyme: June 2007
http://beingandthyme.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 17 June 2007. BBQ on my mind. Ah, England. Land of rainshowers that come out of nowhere, and random hailstorms. Land of thinking that summer has come, only to discover that you put away your coat to quickly when all of a sudden you are faced with three straight days of cold downpours. Sunshine is not anything to take for granted around here, so make the most of it when we can. It has been an ordeal, I tell you. Smoked mackerel dip (Graeme really needs to post the recipe for this, it's amazing).

http://mckg.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
These Boots were made for Walking. Sunday, April 13, 2008. La Gomera and the Quest for Achievable Deadlines. Well, back once again having been on holiday and the usual work keeping me busy. A colony of ants also decided to hold regular strategy meetings next to my bed and against my strongest temptations I refrained from killing them all (massacre at plastic light switch if you will). Until the next time…. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). These Blogs Were Made For Viewing. A Rich Sea of Cheese. I really only ...

These Boots were made for Walking: May 2008
http://mckg.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
These Boots were made for Walking. Saturday, May 17, 2008. Fair point Auntie Gwen – here goes! My dad is not a detective in any sense of the word, but he knows his daffodils in the same way as he knows all the plants in all their many and variegated forms. This is, therefore, how he came to be involved in a little mystery of the daffodil variety. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). These Blogs Were Made For Viewing. A Rich Sea of Cheese.

Talking Pish: Top Ten Things of 2010
http://talkingpish.blogspot.com/2010/12/top-ten-things-of-2010.html
Friday, 31 December 2010. Top Ten Things of 2010. Charlie Brooker pretty much summed this up on his excellent (if slightly overlong) 2010 wipe the other night, but I have to admit I shed a wee tear when the first guy came up and his wee girl came over to hug him. But all in all it was nice to see the news media focus on a positive event for once rather than see them default to their seemingly natural position of spouting a generally inaccurate and ceaseless account of world wide fear, death and disaster.
