A few days ago I had a phone call from the Police. We ended up talking for around 90 minutes; not just having a chinwag but we were going through a statement about one of the recent crimes I suffered. I haven’t talked for 90 minutes combined all of the last 2.5 months and was… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 41 – A life of being nice doesn’t pay.

Coronavirus Diary 40 – How to make friends and influence people
For much of the last week I have been out in my back garden. It’s one of the sole parts of the property that I can make progress with given the state of the world at the moment. In a world where electricians can come in my house to sort out my unsafe electrics… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 40 – How to make friends and influence people
Bushey Heath now and then – Photos of my street from 130 years ago
Long-time readers of my blog will know one of the things I like to do is come across old photos of places and do comparisons with how they are today as with this series of3 old posts of old street scenes across the U.K. Recently as I was looking for something completely difference I actually… Continue reading Bushey Heath now and then – Photos of my street from 130 years ago
VE Day Remembered in Photos – This Is Your Victory!
The 8th May 1945 was V.E. Day or Victory in Europe Day over the Axis Powers of Germany and Italy and for much of the world, an end to WW2. Many Western European nations have an annual WW2 national holiday based on Victory or Liberation Day. The U.K. never has as ironically Churchill did not… Continue reading VE Day Remembered in Photos – This Is Your Victory!
Plumbing the depths of despair.
As if being pushed under a tube train in February and attacked in the street in November isn’t bad enough I’ve recently had the only item of value stolen from my new home recently. With not much else that can go wrong and whilst I wait for the near certainty of being killed by a… Continue reading Plumbing the depths of despair.
Little me!
Whilst recovering from nearly being killed under a train and whilst unpacking the seemingly endless number of boxes having just moved house I came across this old photo of me. It’s not quite the oldest photo but definitely up there when I was around 2.5-3 years old in the mid-late 1970’s. Back then I had very blonde… Continue reading Little me!
I’ve moved house!
Finally after 5 months of waiting, packing, terrible fake buyers and much more efficient serious buyers, I moved house on the 31st January. It all went incredibly well and I was ever so glad to move out as I was beginning to think I never would. I moved with 104 packing boxes and am… Continue reading I’ve moved house!
My 2019 Year in Review
2019 was a busy old year and in keeping with most of the previous 44, not particularly good though far from the worst. I guess that’s why I never celebrate New Year! Two of the highlights were definitely getting to see my first ever MLB Baseball game and even better than that, my beloved Boston… Continue reading My 2019 Year in Review
The environmental hypocrisy of Prince Harry
In Britain this summer, hardly anything has made the news this summer outside of a few major stories. Brexit of course, various protests bringing London to a halt many of which are invariably environment related and the seemingly strained relations of Prince Harry and Meghan with Prince William and Kate…. oh and the fact Harry… Continue reading The environmental hypocrisy of Prince Harry
The Himba Baby Song
I was thinking today of the famous quote by David M. Eagleman that each person suffers three deaths. The first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when the body is consigned to the grave. The third is that moment, sometime in the future, when your name is spoken for the last time.… Continue reading The Himba Baby Song
