It’s customary at this time of year to think of the past and look forward to the future. I don’t like doing that as generally the past is pretty grim and the future not that enticing. 2022 has certainly been one of those years. Finally I have been able to get to work after April… Continue reading Looking back at 2022 and forward to 2023, Christmas alone and to move or not to move that is the question

A not very good review of a pretty rubbish year, 2020.
Having a special interest in chest infections, it was about 55 weeks ago when I first heard of what was to become the Coronavirus. It took until January before the first hints of it were dismissed in the mainstream awareness and it wasn’t until February when the western world became more properly aware of what… Continue reading A not very good review of a pretty rubbish year, 2020.
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
Looking back at 2018 in cartoons
It’s tradition at the end of a year to look back at the events that we’ve lived through and I thought this year that I would do so with the use of political cartoons.

(You can see my list of TV shows here) It was quite a strong year for what I would call ‘proper films’. Not your whizz-bang plotless teenage… Continue reading Top 10 movies of 2015
It’s that time again… 2014 blogging in review
This is now my third end of year report having been on WordPress for almost 2.5 years. It’s been a long road, getting from there to here. Thank-you to everyone who reads my blog whether regularly or infrequently or those who simply visit once from a wild search on Google. It seems I have the… Continue reading It’s that time again… 2014 blogging in review
My 2013 blog year in review
Well it has been a busy blogging year and I’d just like to thank everyone who spares me a minute of their time to see what I am up to. It’s been a pretty horrid year away from blogging with the loss of my mother and my job, albeit I hated my job and had… Continue reading My 2013 blog year in review
