Flora Day 23
I made it to Flora Day yesterday with my brother and nieces. An early start at my sisters place. The requisite downing of cock sucking cowboys along with numerous bloody mary’s got the show on the road. My sister is beloved by a fraternity of party people and Flora …

My Ma & JB met me at Totnes station. Zaida was full of beans and hugs. She had just had a haircut and was busy sorting things out before before they drove to France for a holiday tomorrow. At the ‘happy yellow house …
more...Paddington
I’m sat here at Costa Coffee in Paddington waiting for the 10:30 to Totnes.
I walked a good few miles yesterday exploring the back-alleys, greenways, footpaths and canal paths from Muswell Hill through Hornsey and down along the Regent Canal. I just love walking …

Here I go again - visiting the home of my first 20 years, Cornwall.

more...From Away
I had to drop something to Re at work early on a Sunday morning. On the way home I thought I’d go sit in a cafe with my laptop like one of those fancy-shmancy people. I rarely do this but the house is a mess and I wanted to …

I got back from visiting MJD in Melbourne yesterday. I managed to get a flight for not much more then the petrol would have cost. I only had to drive the three …
more...Boats in Melbourne
I just booked a few nights in Melbourne. I’m driving my old jalopy down the silver-city highway to visit my pal, @MJD.
In-line with my current obsessional thinking I have made a list of some boat-dealers in the area. Who knows maybe I’ll find …
Killing Time
It’s Sunday afternoon and there is a boat for sale in Cairns, it looks like a tough old sea kindly boat. I will be back to work tomorrow. So, I will kick the can down the track. Accumulating my stash for a bigger and …
