Hilarious spam comment

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

I have a very good anti-spam programme courtesy of Word Press, so none gets through, but goes into a folder so I can have a peek and check nothing I might want to keep gets chucked. Every now and then I have a look and this one was so funny, I was tempted to approve [...]

4 Losses

Sunday, May 9th, 2010

Since I’ve been back home, I’ve been catching up with everything but it’s been two steps forwards, one back as the “4 losses” will show: Lost photos! On Bank Holiday Monday I persuaded Billy to come for a walk with me so we went up to Hadrian’s Wall, picking a spot we hadn’t visited before [...]

Three working H’s : 3) Home Work

Monday, April 5th, 2010

As with most people, I’ve been very busy at work (both jobs) in the week leading up to the Easter weekend, trying to get on top of everything before the four day break. This meant a few things at home just had to be left, so when we got to the weekend, there have been [...]

Three working H’s : 2) Herb Work

Monday, April 5th, 2010

I’ve been very busy herbally, both with patients and with admin. There’s been an update on the Statutory Regulation business. I wrote to Andy Burnham and to my MP as advised by my professional body, but rather than using the template suggested, I opted instead, to copy and paste my blog entry on the subject [...]

I am a Web Elk!

Monday, March 15th, 2010

I took the web-animal test as part of an experiment in association with the BBC’s Virtual Revolution. Have a go yourself here. Slow-moving – Web Elks like you take their time finding exactly the right morsels of information – just like the real-world elk who carefully browses for shoots and leaves to eat. Sociable – [...]

Boro 0 v 1 City (FA Cup 3rd Round)

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

On Saturday I planned to watch City’s FA Cup game away to Boro on the PC through Liveonline Footy and had renewed my subscription accordingly. With Billy at work, I duly got all my jobs done so I could sit down at 3pm and got the stream running a couple of minutes before hand. Lovely! [...]

The days between and Wolves 0 – 3 City

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

The week between Christmas and New Year is a weird one I think. You are still mentally on holiday and want to carry on with the festivities, and yet there are working days lurking in there and certain mundane chores that still need to be done. I was determined to retain as much of a [...]

Wii Wish You a Merry Christmas

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

On Christmas morning, which was white as our snow remained, I was up first, as usual and had a couple of hours of peace before everyone else emerged for presents. Stephen did not want to get up early, but Raji was going to Church so we agreed on 9.15 am as present opening time. Now [...]

21st Century City

Friday, July 24th, 2009

Well it’s all been happening at my beloved MCFC this summer – and I don’t mean all the transfer speculation or even actual signings. (You will know by now that I don’t speculate, nor do I get too worked up or excited – I will judge any and all of our aquisitions for myself, when [...]

End of Year Awards

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

I thought I’d do my own little awards for the year 2008 – for my own amusement really, but inspired by various sites I use having these. It made me wonder what awards I’d give to whom and then I decided I may as well share. Of course, each winner only has one vote – [...]
