Jut found this and it makes me smile even though I have seen it four times already (because I have to keep showing it to everyone else!) Even our arachnophobic lodger thought it was cute!
Apparently little was known about peacock...

Last week was very hectic. I was working ten-hour days, which meant leaving home at 7 am and getting back at 7 pm, something I haven’t done for a while. Luckily the weather here at the moment is absolutely beautiful so at least I...

I mentioned a while ago that I was teaching Big One to drive, and that I had a few magnetic ‘L’ plates ready to stick on the car when she was driving.

My friends are getting married today. Not a big life-changing moment as they have been together a long time and got engaged 25 years ago, shortly after I got to know them. It’s just a quiet ceremony with them and two witnesses, of...
