18th May – It’s very nice to just wander the camel route to Iraq, but it’s so much nicer, yes it’s oh so nice, to wander back.

I had a go at being normal the other day. The first part, a thirty-mile bike ride, passed tolerably well. But as soon as I descended from Boffin and rejoined the tribe, we, me and my independent mind, were soon wishing that we’d stuck with the original plan - to stay indoors until the local … Continue reading 18th May – It’s very nice to just wander the camel route to Iraq, but it’s so much nicer, yes it’s oh so nice, to wander back.

4th May – but tell me does he kiss, like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same, when he calls your name?

Do you remember Frances? Slight, reticent; cool bob - crooked fringe; skinny legs sticking out of her ironically, other-era, mini-dress. How I loved her edgy confidence that was punctuated by giggles, as if she was withholding what she really thought about everyone else. How I wanted to tell her that I recognised something in her … Continue reading 4th May – but tell me does he kiss, like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same, when he calls your name?

30 April – You’ve been crying, your face is a mess.

Simply reorganise these notes into your own article on loss trauma, regret, anxiety, fault, guilt, and responsibility for these things. I would only make a mess of it. . https://www.youtube.com/embed/iFZVcN98Hl4?si=RzkpahU-ew9Kpu3N

19th March – At times like these when enemies can number more than friends.

Firstly, please note that we are open for business. We like to keep our pages open to comments, and in the old days, that meant ticking a box before posting. One day that option disappeared, but what WordPress failed to tell us, was that the facility remained available. They just hid it, and said nothing, … Continue reading 19th March – At times like these when enemies can number more than friends.

10 March- it’s a beautiful noise, going on everywhere.

Whether it is one of the first signs of early onset dementia, or specific lethologica to which I am forever stricken, I am indifferent, but, the word euphemism, causes me all sorts of problems. I start a sentence knowing that I am going to say it at some point, then as I get close to … Continue reading 10 March- it’s a beautiful noise, going on everywhere.

5th March – Your scarf it was apricot.

Dickie White, and close friend, and film & TV reviewer, Cubby Begge, swap stories about broken New Year’s resolutions - Part II. In Part I, Dickie admitted that he has recommenced urinating in the sink, but was granted absolution by Cubby on the grounds that he hasn’t yet done it while the dishes were still … Continue reading 5th March – Your scarf it was apricot.

You’ll have to decide, whether Judas Iscariot had God on his side.

A Complete Unknown - it's close, but it's not right. As wonderful as this film is in parts, its lack of interest in getting important facts right, means that it doesn't quite hit the bullseye in the same way that Elvis did. Did you ever see Amadeus? In that film, Salieri, Imperial Kapellmeister, and Court … Continue reading You’ll have to decide, whether Judas Iscariot had God on his side.
