Free Rice?

Ok here’s a little ‘game’ to occupy your mind and do some small thing for world hunger as you go. You can find it at Free Rice and it’s just a little something to keep our brains active.. Basically you determine the definitions of words on a given list, and click on the answer. For [...]

Vale Tony Hart

Sad news that Tony Hart, a gentleman and an inspiration, has died aged 83. He’d retired a few years ago after suffering a couple of strokes, and the loss of his ability to draw accurately hit him very hard. He is probably best known for his TV show HartBeat and of course that little plasticine [...]

Strange – tired again!

Overall I really had a good day yesterday working away until my back started to ache so sat down. There’s still loads to do as always but this morning I feel really exhausted… and this is despite getting back to bed for an hour and a half!! Obviously I’ve no idea why I feel so [...]

Over the past few weeks I’ve been seriously considering doing something drastic about it, like [...]

Another hot one coming!

They aren’t being ‘exact’ though but suggest we can expect readings in excess of 40ºC this afternoon. Since yesterday afternoon (at 6:30 p.m.) the car thermometer showed 39ºC I think they might be a little off with their ‘records’. [...]

Sympathy

Just dropping by to express my sympathy to John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston on the loss of their son Jett who died recently. I’d also like to express my condolences to the families of those children, numbering now almost 100, who have died as a result of the Israeli bombardment and subsequent invasion [...]
