The Dept of Homeland Security has apparently put out a warning to do with ‘suicide squirrels’. Oh crumbs .. or should that be ‘Oh nuts’? Should I buy my nuts early for Christmas and hide them – are only grey squirrels on missions or their reserved red English cousins too? Must warn walking friends not to take [...]
‘Do you want something to eat’ .. ‘I could eat a bit of something, I’m not too hungry’… (on arriving from London Thursday mid evening). Microwave meal.. ‘There’re some yoghurts, if you want one’ … ‘Oh thanks’. ‘There’s some cake too’… ‘Oh thanks’. Writeous Dude has always been a good trencherman .. crisps/chocolate/biscuits/sandwiches/dinners all absorbed [...]
To Bingley by train on glorious Indian Summer day. Walk through very varied terrain; canalside, meadow, past riding school where Disgraceful Rider was tempted to renew hobby, climb up through bracken and just-coming into flower heather, fine views from Druid’s Rock. Reminded me of the Devil’s Rock in woods near my old village when we’d go [...]
Saved myself £100 by not buying a gorgeous pair of Irregular Choice ankle boots. They were black with thin gold seams running up from the toe, turn over top with the back higher than the front, like a brooch thingy at the sides and not too high for driving in. Go on their website if [...]
Saw District 9 film last night. SF set in S.Africa with unknowns on a budget. Excellent film. I’m sure E.T. is out there but she won’t be visiting any time soon given the possible reception as per this film – probably in real life too! We’re so technologically advanced but spiritually backward. Our natural instincts [...]
WriteousDude and Piggynap get on well but lots of siblings don’t. If you’ve got problems think like this… don’t compete for parents attention, cultivate your own life and accept what attention you do get – maybe your sibling’s need that kind of validation…. praise your sibling’s gifts/achievements, you never know when they may be a [...]
Bugger – I missed getting to talk to some who were camped in 3 proper vans on the wide grass verge at the south end of the village. They had several ‘vanner’ type cobs grazing on long lines. By the time I’d organised myself they’d moved on. I thought they might have had some interesting [...]
Birthday boy tomorrow (57). He’s been ripping it up in London until a couple of days ago. He did fine work in Killshot prior to The Wrestler but not released UK. Pity he can’t stop smoking/start living a more righteous life where he actually stands a chance of meeting a nice real woman. So many [...]
Zoom zoom to Goathland and a walk. The heather is almost fully purple and amazing in sunlight. Saw a black face peering from between some bracken – sheep maybe spying for Fylingdales, but no camera on its head My incredible chutzpah showing in turned up trousers in spite of threat from adders. Well they wouldn’t [...]
Question – what do Agents do for you? Do they work for the seller or the buyer? Do they work for the landlord or the tenant? Isn’t there a big conflict of interest ? I just bet there are tons of people out there who’ve been messed about by Agents on both sides of the [...]
