My Night in the Hundred Acre Wood

The other day, I had to spend the night in hospital, as David had to go in as an emergency. He had a Paraphimosis, which is a huge swelling of a part of a man’s body that does not bear thinking of swelling up (abnormally that is). Basically, it was four times the size it should be. I’d examined it... Sign in to see full entry.

The Car, the Diet, the Garden and the Decorating.

Just an update really on how things can turn around very quickly. The car is back and working. Okay, it cost me nearly £2000 on top of what it’s cost me in the last year, but it has a new engine. I also have another car on order from Motability lease-hire, so the Renault is going soon. I lost... Sign in to see full entry.

Somebody’s Trying to Sabotage My Attempts at Gardening

As you may know from previous posts, I am really trying to keep up with the gardening this year. It's been rather overlooked for the last four years. That is apart from two to three cuts of grass each year. Therefore I have recently done the lawn three times in four weeks, and been trying to average... Sign in to see full entry.

I Really Shouldn’t Own Anything that Could Break Down

I have concluded that I am jinxed in whatever I buy. If it can go wrong…it will. The root of this theory at present is of course…the Car. Please re-read all my posts on the subject, as I don’t want to repeat it all, as it is too painful. I rang about my car today. It was last ridden nearly three... Sign in to see full entry.

Vava..BOOM! (Continued, as my car is now being held together by bits of tap

Vava..BOOM! (Continued, as my car is now being held together by bits of tape) The sorry tale of the car goes on. Two weeks after dropping dead and one reconditioned engine later costing £1500, I go to collect my car. I have to wait ages as they have just taken it to be cleaned (as they like to leave...

It’s Nice Getting Good Comments about Your Work

Having only started writing a coupe of years ago, I often wonder is anything I write any good, or am I just kidding myself. I know I get good comments on things I post on blogs, and forums, but you do sometimes wonder. I mean, are people just commenting for the sake of it. I have terrible confidence...

Healthy Eating (Week Two)

After one full week of my new healthier eating, I went back to get myself weighed as I will each Saturday. Last week I was 92.3kg (14st 7lb). This week I am 90.4kg (14st 3lb). Now I am more than pleased with this as it makes it all worth it. I was only expecting one or to pounds reduction, but this... Sign in to see full entry.

Vava Kaboom! The Final Conflict

Well, the car has been out of action for well over a week now. I haven’t updated because I have been way too stressed out about it all. The Renault garage said that the engine had totally gone. After getting people in the know to check, it appears to be the case. I was quoted by Renault a price of... Sign in to see full entry.

The Diet (Day 5)

I have been on a diet (as recommended by my Doctor) for 4 days now. I am 90kg where I was 73 ten year ago. I do believe that I have been doing well so far and am rather pleased with myself. Not that I can see any difference, but it has been only four days not counting today. However, I am... Sign in to see full entry.

Vava Boom! Revisited

Three months since my last major car trouble…I suppose I was asking too much for it to continue. Especially as somebody said in amazement the other day, ‘Your car is still working’. Therefore this morning, as I thought, t had been nice recently, and I didn’t take a coat with me being in the car, I... Sign in to see full entry.
