vandalise other peoples property? Heading out today after the frost had cleared I noticed that the windscreen on my Saab 95 Estate has been smashed. It was OK when I parked it at 6:20 on Friday evening but I didn’t use it over the weekend and the weather was so bad I didn’t notice it […]
NOTE: Kieran has made a newer version of his plugin which works with WordPress MU and integrates by using an embedded Calendar tag to display the calendar. So basically I’m abandoning this plug in and suggest you get Kieran’s new version instead. That is what I’ve put on this site. This is basically Kieran O’Shea’s […]
If there is one depressing thing about Thanksgiving it is what comes afterwards – yes that’s right: Christmas, or as they say in America “Holidays”. Now I know the UK is far from perfect but we don’t leap into the “Happy Holiday Spirit” the way our American cousins do. Right after Thanksgiving the “Holiday” adverts […]
Perkins Cove
It was a wonderful sunny day and we had things to do. Kathy wanted to see the coast and I needed to get my shoes replaced and we needed to do some Christmas shopping. So lets combine them all into one trip. We headed off early in the morning down the interstate towards Portland. Our […]
Well its the day of too much food and too much turkey, and too much beer. The Antacid manufacturers must love Thanksgiving and Christmas! We are at Kathy’s parents for Lunch and then we will head back to Sue and Jeff’s where we will basically turn up at the end of their meal so it […]
Apparently whilst we were getting rained on in Maine it was snowing in England. Typical! Anyway it started snowing here yesterday – it did about half an inch and its still lying on the ground this morning and we have had a few smatterings this morning. They say that its going to be like this […]
Well the rain has all gone now and the skies are clear. With clearing skies the temperature has dropped. Overnight it was 19°F (-7°C), it is currently (10am) 34°F (1°C) and temperatures are supposed to be staying low for the next few days. Still at least we are not on top of Mount Washington in […]
It was raining last night and it was raining this morning. We flew several thousand miles and all it can do is rain 🙁 Although at one point the rain also contained some rather damp snow flakes we didn’t actually get any snow – according to the Weather Channel it looks like Augusta was on […]
Sue and Jeff’s
Kathy’s Parents
Sue and Jeff live outside Hallowell, and even though the interstate is quite close there is no direct access and its not actually that noisy As you can see from the photo the neighbours are slightly further away than they are at home. When we aren’t here we are spending time over at Kathy’s parents […]
I don’t care what any airline claims – flying is not an overly enjoyable experience : well not in economy any way. We got to the airport, dropped off our luggage and went through security. All remarkably painless and as we didn’t have to be there 3 hours in advance as we were already checked […]
