We live in a little cul-de-sac of five houses and on bin day we have to take our wheelie bins to the end of the road – and then back once they’ve been emptied, obviously. We never like to leave the bins out there too long...

Jim Bauer @Fleura Let me just say this, if you live in a trailer park, you are more likely for your neighbor to shoot you than help you. So, in a more "posh" neighborhood, I'd not be surprised at all if someone "went the extra mile." Just saying. lol

DE @Fleura I see... We all have plenty of room for deliveries. That's what driveways are for. No need for nosy neighbors to know our business. Alarms are for police to check and take care of. Again, no need for nosy neighbors to be up in our business.

I wrote a bit about Jane Adams in my last post. By the time her husband died in 1895, Jane had had twelve children. The oldest drowned in a well at 2 ½ years old, the next died at birth, a son died aged 13 from a riding accident,...

I prefer ‘proper coffee’ over instant, and generally make it using a cafetiere/ French press. Sadly we went through a bit of a phase of breaking the glass and in general it’s cheaper to look for a second hand cafetiere in a...

It’s supposed to be spring here but we have quite wild weather yesterday including some hail which you can see in Vin’s photo. Over a 24-hour period we also had an inch of rain. There is still a lot of cloud around but it seems...

There are some pubs around here which host folk music ‘sessions’; when anyone can just turn up and join in. The snag is that unless you are an accomplished player it can be really hard to join in, everyone plays so fast, they know...

A came across an interesting story about gargoyles. In Newcastle, England above the door of St. Nicholas Cathedral there is a rather odd gargoyle statue. No one knows how or why this vampire rabbit was created but there he is if...

Keep something for seven years and you will find a use for it – at least that’s a proverb I have heard. Well today I found a use for something we have kept for about eight years – although I have to confess I didn’t keep it...

Fiacre Banks @fleura Ah, pelmets. I never knew what they were as a child and became dreadfully confused when I heard my uncle berating my cousin for going out wearing nothing more than a pelmet. He was referenced the mininess of her miniskirt. Then my mother spoke of...

Jim Bauer @Fleura Bingo. And here's the other thing. I used to run numbers all the time. Partly because I was a numbers guy, and partly because I was curious, but I was also wanting to know what my personal contribution was, and how it compared to others in the...
