Staying In vs Going Out

Just contemplating whether to go out and drink beer some sort of BEAR themed evening with chum MJ Hibbett at the Bull and Gate or stay in with Clare and watch some films she's got in, Ocean's Eleven and Meet The Parents. Also currently consuming the ...

arcade games

Walked the long way round Listria Park on the way to Church Street today, and saw two magpies and a squirrel raiding someone's bin. They weren't at all bothered by me walking so close to them.Also saw a discarded arcade machine on the road, all it's ...

The pain, the angst

Clare's not keen and neither am I

We've had other people's weddings the last two years on the 27th, so our birthdays got totally sidelined, so not keen for that to happen again... it's like bein Jesus, the poor mite being born on Christmas Day, he only got one lot of presents.

Holiday reading

While I was away I read Matthew's Prize: Being the Tale of a Whitby Orphan Boy's Longing to Navigate the Broad Seas though I didn't know the title was so long at the time... it's about PIRATES, and it's quite good, if a bit of a blokey version of a m...
