http://flamblogger.blogspot.com/2009/02/odds-and-ends-for-weekend.html
Thursday, February 26, 2009. ODDS AND ENDS FOR THE WEEKEND. Means"some things from my garden and some made with my ten fingers. Had some photos of an old chateau that she visited. Among them was a picture of an old prison door. I liked it so much I asked her if I could copy it for my set of ATC Doorways. So here it is: The Prison Door. Thank you Claude for letting me copy this! The daffodils are back! I have had this photo of the clouds for several weeks since our last rainstorm. I don't belong to Sk...

“I don’t care if a reader hates one of my stories, just as long as he finishes the book.”: Gangnam what now?
http://just-devoted.blogspot.com/2012/11/gangnam-what-now.html
8220;I don’t care if a reader hates one of my stories, just as long as he finishes the book.”. Tuesday, 20 November 2012. Why is it that foreign songs make their way into charts and become so popularized? To learn another language? Moved by the accent? Or the music video perhaps, with an intriguing storyline that infatuates us, or brilliant directing and camera shots? Do you know what he’s saying? This kind of phenomenon is similar to the Macarena. Remember that? 8 December 2012 at 01:07. You may not hav...

Incultus: November 2014
http://cassus-vas.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Monday, 17 November 2014. So what’s all this about 4k TV then? Not only that but, where do you get 4k signals? You can buy a 4k player and some Blu-ray disks claim to be 4k, also you can stream 4k from the Internet if you have fibre but, we have not all changed from DVD to Blu-ray, or afford fibre and they cannot broadcast 4k signals, no room, all the available channels are in use with normal SD and HD TV… Uh Oh! And it will be a another case of ‘Buy or don’t get TV sucker! 4k is not four times the defin...

Incultus: Busy week –3
http://cassus-vas.blogspot.com/2010/07/busy-week-3.html
Thursday, 8 July 2010. Busy week –3. This time we were off to a reunion that I try to attend every year. It is held in different parts of the country and this year was held in Dudley, a part of England known as The Black Country, a name that is a legacy from the industrial revolution. So for several years now, one of our group takes a turn to organise something for the reunion weekend and this time it was the turn of JC who lives in the midlands. The Hotel and the canal basin. Our group being briefed by ...

Incultus: December 2014
http://cassus-vas.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, 20 December 2014. Essential for magic potions. Kisses must be plentiful around the county of Gloucestershire because that county has an abundance of the plant and you will find entire stands of trees filled with more mistletoe leaves than their own native leaves. It seems to thrive in this area more than any other part of Great Britain that I have visited. Almost any winter skyline around Gloucestershire contains trees covered in mistletoe. Friday, 5 December 2014. The Last of its Kind. Autumn ...

Incultus: A Book Review - The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
http://cassus-vas.blogspot.com/2010/12/book-review-lion-witch-and-wardrobe.html
Thursday, 2 December 2010. A Book Review - The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. In this book we are taken back to the 1940s and introduced to four children, two girls and two boys, brothers and sisters who are ‘Evacuated’ to the countryside during WWII. This was common practice during that conflict, when children were taken out of the towns and sent to the country in order to make them relatively safe from the regular bombing raids that were causing huge destruction to all the major cities. After a while...

Incultus: Once in a lifetime event
http://cassus-vas.blogspot.com/2010/09/once-in-lifetime-event.html
Thursday, 30 September 2010. Once in a lifetime event. Well that is finally over – something that has been discussed and planned for several years but we got there in the end and now it is all over bar the shouting. We have been inundated with visitors for the last few days and we have been able to show them some of the lovely countryside that surrounds our otherwise quite mundane hometown. The stones at Avebury. To the north of our town is the less ancient but picturesque area known as the Cotswolds, wi...

Incultus: January 2015
http://cassus-vas.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, 24 January 2015. Dear diary - nothing happened today. I have not blogged for some weeks and feel I ought to post something, but nothing much has happened since Christmas, so I will just post some pictures I like. I say nothing much has happened; the most significant event has been my ancient Amaryllis has flowered once more. It is now well into its thirties and still going strong. When we were in Cumbria I took this sunset photo of the wind farm out to sea off Walney. The GoodYear blimp often f...

http://just-devoted.blogspot.com/2012/06/noughts-and-crosses.html
8220;I don’t care if a reader hates one of my stories, just as long as he finishes the book.”. Friday, 8 June 2012. This book will make you think 'what if? As to what if it were. The other way around, if white people were the second class citizens and black people the higher class? I was recommended to read it by a good friend of mine as quote "it's my favourite book! So i gave it a shot. I was captivated by it and finished the 400 page book in two days (boasting? Of the main characters -cough- dies -cou...
