Witterings are, well they’re witterings really. They’re not uncategorised posts but don’t really fit into anything else
So much for the plans for Easter. We knew that the weather forecast wasn’t good for the weekend but we thought we’d give it a go. I picked Kathy up from work at 4pm and then after spending nearly twenty minutes at Sainsbury’s putting 60 litres of petrol in the car (thanks in part to […]
… when the roads are gridlocked, the pubs and restaurants are full to over flowing and you can’t actually enjoy living in town. Yes that’s right – its The Cheltenham Festival. When the world and his dog descends on the town, drinks too much Guinness and then throws up or pisses in the street. So […]
Last week I basically hit rock bottom. On Tuesday (one week ago today) I had major problems and was pretty much non-functional and I somehow managed to get through the day without considering anything too drastic. I’m not going to say anything about the text messages I got.. “Can you just phone us, we need […]
I went to the supermarket today to pick up a few things. Thought I’d have some mackerel as I like a good bit of fish. So I’m standing at the checkout and I wonder how Sainsbury’s recommend I cook said Mackerel fillets. I turn the pack over: No cooking guidelines but two very, very important […]

Well we are well on the way to planning Christmas. The Booze has been ordered (which is one of the most important things) and we’ve done a lot of the shopping. Should be picking up a tree sometime this week – there is a shop close to us which delivers them, which saves you having […]
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 […]
