Canary Islander: March 2012
http://canaryislander.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 22, 2012. I never had a parent. To cheer me on from the touchline. I never had a parent to watch me play. I never had a father. To see me trial for England. And he never saw me play. Perhaps not as well as in the link below. But please open it and enjoy! Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Posted by Canary Islander. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Canary Islander: July 2012
http://canaryislander.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 7, 2012. We visted another seaside town in Kent. Very picturesque! I get very absent-minded nowadays, but I did remember to take three photographs. 1 A Notice carved in a passage by the Town Hall. 2 A Cottage just outside the church on the hill. 3 A Metal Thingy in the pavement by my left foot. 4 But here is a better-known feature of the town. 5 And here is another!

Canary Islander: Five steps down to Heaven...
http://canaryislander.blogspot.com/2012/12/five-steps-down-to-heaven.html
Monday, December 17, 2012. Five steps down to Heaven. My Mum screamed when she raised the hinged pinewood lid up from the bath to lean it back against the kitchen wall. There was a rat in the bath, but it didn’t move. It was dead. I don’t know why, but even now, so many years later, that simple scene from my childhood remains a vivid and enduring image for me. We never saw the landlady again. It was several weeks later, just before Christmas and just after the landlady’s son had given all the t...I’...

Canary Islander: June 2013
http://canaryislander.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 10, 2013. This blog begins with a photograph of my workspace in Kent, followed by the opening lines of one of England's finest poems. When I have fears that I may cease to be. Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,. Before high piled books, in charact'ry,. Hold like rich garners the full-ripen'd grain;. Alas, the photo could have been a self-portrait, if only I had been my unusual prolific self, hammering away at the keyboard. But that was not to be. I was pondering these plaintive word...

Canary Islander: May 2012
http://canaryislander.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 24, 2012. Why all this anker? It's been ages and ages since we cavorted merrily together with Ceri Radford on the DT. Alas, when Ceri stopped writing about Constance Harding, I retreated to the Finance Section. Here's a little MyT blog about what I found in the Finance Section. The character string anker. Has become popular in comments that appear on the main Telegraph website. In fact, anker. Appears most frequently in discussions about the Financial Crisis. Notably the plural form *ankers.
