How to View the World

With amazement… differently … never admit you’re sure you’re certifiable until you reach my age.  Given that one lifetime is not enough it would be nice to know how long you’d got so you could review your choices.  Read ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’ … Piggynap told me about it … I bet Paris Hilton has never read [...]

Rest Rooms

Managed not to say ‘Where is the toilet please’ … shock,horror in USA. Got to say ‘rest room’ or ‘lavatory’ etc. Set Disgraceful Rider thinking about all the alternatives we have for wanting a tiddle/widdle/slash/gypsy’s (from him indoors) (gypsy’s kiss – think about it)/point percy at the porceline/shake hands with a friend etc.,  Some I’m too [...]

Sacramento

Enjoyed preserved old centre. Fab Railway Museum, beautifully kept exhibits to rival York’s. Bought book ‘The Harvey Girls’ (women who opened the West).

Writeous Dude

He’s on Twitter…just.  He’s down (not up you Southerners) in London and busy networking to get into Theatre work etc. Cardiff have made their Stage Management course 2 year and hugely upped the cost…devastating… but I hope he’ll try for a place and Bank of family will have to see what it can do! Seeing [...]

San Francisco

Weird weather … cocktails at the Top of the Mark … Fishermans Wharf like upmarket Blackpool … vibrant China town… failed to create earthquake… pity I’d seen the Humber Bridge first!  Loved old Sacramento and the Railway Museum outstanding OMG the size of those locos!  Redwoods, like Petra, half as old as time and Carmel [...]

Mickey Rourke

So near yet so far – he was in L.A. and I was in San Francisco. If only he knew the two things he needs to give up smoking but maybe he’ll read this. First he needs to replace the ritual with a set of worry beads to play with instead of ciggies, then suck [...]
