Activities (Again)


It's that time of the year again, when we try and figure out something for our juniors to do on the last week of term.

Dolls


I finished a long term restoration on a chaise-lounge which we keep in the bedroom.

Things I wish I hadn't said


We all make mistakes.

Here are some verbal mistakes of mine, in ascending order of cringe-making, fear and embarrassment.

If anyone asks


My beloved and my son and I have just applied for New Zealand citizenship (this has really nothing to do with the fact that the Abs have just won the Rugby World Cup (eat mud you cheese-eating surrender monkeys)

Curses

I kid you not, ths popped up on the browser after a search of "Murrain".  If I get a terminal disease, I want it to look like this.

I'm on holiday for 5 more glorious days, and I can now manage to have a lovely long lie in bed.

This Sunday, the Pride of New Zealand; The All Blacks, face the perfidious French in the RWC® final.

Just saying

It's been a long, long road.



Just an experiment to see if I could create an animated gif and have blogger show it.

And of course to support the All Blacks.

Being; Becoming; A Grumpy Old bastard (1)


For some unknown, but probably pathological reason, quite a few of the commentators on these hallowed pages consider that I'm a grumpy bastard.

They may have a point.

The Delights of Doing Bugger All


It's now the third day of our two week break, and I've managed to relax for the first time

Domestic F*cking Bliss


Absolutely gorgeous day today.

Problems


Some of my friends have mentioned that they don't seem to be able to add comments to my posts.  I didn't set anything to stop them, but blogger seems to be having problems, especially if you are using Internet Explorer.  I would suggest changing to Firefox, which doesn't seem to give this problem.

I've also changed a couple of other settings which should now allow your comments to work.


Please feel free to try commenting as a test on his post.
