Hey! My DVD set of the first season of Shamless (US) showed up today while I was at work. So after we got kids fed and settled, we decided to go ahead and start the show. We finished the first episode, and I have to say the little...

Recently, one of my neighbors (who is not the smartest cookie, but..) had a headlight out. She asked me where to go to get it replaced, and I told her to go to O'Reilly's or to Auto Zone--buy the bulb, and they install it for...

Gruffydd Rhydderch I used to do all my own car repairs, up to a point. Changing headlight bulbs would be something I’d do myself. Some cars headlamps are easier to change than others. In recent years I’ve always had new cars that I’ve changed every 3 or 4 years. In that time...

I wrote a couple of months ago about how I found two nice mirrors in the rubble skip at the recycling centre when I went to get rid of some rocks. I am so sick of looking at this pile of rocks (from when we dug out our pond four...

Gruffydd Rhydderch Blodwyn, is that you in the mirror? You’re just how I imagined you from the waist down.

Above is the finished drawing of the falcon that I started at art class last week. I completed this over Monday and Tuesday.
I went over the head and back with a 6B pencil, then used the cotton disc that I was given at art class...

Little One likes to sing, and sometimes when we’re on a car journey she’ll suggest that we sing a few songs, or even that we just listen to her singing. But then she’ll say ‘What shall I sing?’ and the big problem is that not one...

This is a very rare thing. I have been lucky to have been able to see the Northern Lights many times, but I do know it is rare to see them in some areas of the country. Tonight and tomorrow night may be your night! Look it up!!...

Gruffydd Rhydderch It was spectacularly visible over the UK last night too. I didn’t see it as I went to bed early, but there are some great shots from those who stayed up to watch. Happening again tonight but skies will not be so clear, so probably less impressive. Isn’t nature...

I found a weird movie on Netflix. Hadn't been on there for a while and the title intrigued me. No actors I knew. The story was of a guy who was trying to become a comedian and was stalked by a weird obese woman. She has lied about...

For several years now we have had vacuum-cleaner problems. I used to have an older model, I think it was Electrolux, which I bought second hand and it worked just fine. But when we were doing some work on our last house, which...

Gruffydd Rhydderch I have seen lots of Henrys and the occasional Hetty at work places. They are obviously a good workhorse for dirty environments. They might be good at cleaning, but are bulky and you need a large broom cupboard to store it. The long hose must be very difficult...

I have been feeling weird lately. I have been obsessed with death for about the past year or so. Morbid I know but it's there in my mind. I can't get rid of it.
But, over the last year or so I have been worried about dying. I am...

Gruffydd Rhydderch I too am an atheist, so I believe there is no life after death. This is it. However, as you get closer to death, and you want to cling onto life, maybe I too will look for something to satisfy my mind. People are living longer, but mostly not in good health....

I grew up in Texas a very long time ago and with my mother's cooking we had a choice of salt or pepper to use as seasonings. I'm so glad that I outgrew those limitations!
I now sprinkle Italian Seasoning on salads and on almost...

Gruffydd Rhydderch Growing up in the sixties here in the UK, salt and pepper seemed to be the only seasoning available, but in reality it was all my mother used.
Nowadays, we have so much choice. I love all kinds of food, so have tried pretty much every herb and spice. I use...

I promised to show you my completed macrame project – here it is.
Not bad for a first attempt, I’m quite pleased with it and, most importantly, it does the job I needed it for.
It actually didn’t take long at all, in one evening...

Brothel Voyage is book 2 of an alien romance. This one has a lot of funny banter which I love. The main characters are Zedna and Nash long-time friends since their teen years. So yes this is a friends-to-lover kind of book with a...

I know this may not seem like a big deal to most, but I’ve never owned one of these things before.
And certainly didn’t know how to operate it.
My dad had to teach me, from Step 1.
Did I fill up the coffee pot with water and put...

Over a week ago, a very cruel act seems to have occurred in the area where I live.
I'm trying my best to not share any detail, but I can say many people have shown deep outrage, and a burning desire for revenge against the...

Gruffydd Rhydderch Are you talking about people acting as vigilantes? If so, I don’t condone that. Often, if the crime involves children, the emotions of those involved can run high, but it’s always best to leave it to the authorities to deal with. As for loving the...

We recently spent a week’s holiday in Whitby, on the north-east coast of England. When I mentioned our plans to anyone I quickly found that we seemed to be just about the only people in our village who have never been there –...

Gruffydd Rhydderch I love Whitby, along with many other seaside places along the Yorkshire coast - Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington. I particularly like Robin Hood’s Bay, as it’s a bit quieter, or was the last time I went. Whitby was overrun by tourists the last time I went....

Gruffydd Rhydderch I don’t know how you can cheat at Wordle, unless someone has told you the word in advance.
I do Wordle daily too, and have got it in one on one occasion. That was just luck of course. I used to start with the same three words to flush out the vowels. I...
