Manchester is in my sights and I hope it’ll be in the sights of whoever will be piloting the plane I’ll be on early tomorrow morning. I’d hate it if the pilot decided to go elsewhere just for a change. Second row from the front,...

I’ve been wondering with all this stuff that’s going on the world and things getting a bit dangerous, might it be a good idea for me to take out personal membership of NATO? I hear they offer frequent flyer points for first time...

Last night I woke from a dream in which my wife’s cat had transmogrified into a hippopotamus. I wasn’t sure if the cat had actually turned into a hippo or if she had run away and been replaced by the hippo so I didn’t know if I...

Heavy, persistent rain. Irish rain, cold and falling straight down out of the evening sky like silver rods. Lovely to shelter from it under the thick canopy of an ancient oak getting only half wet while the air trapped along with...

When we visited the old Fremantle Gaol yesterday, we were able to view some of the cells. When the jail was first built, the cells were very small indeed but later two were made into one, giving prisoners a bit more room. Several...

Fiacre Banks @judyev I suspect anything would brighten up a cell, but those are quite magnificent.

I hate buying clothes - I’m a man. I prefer a visit to the dentist to the nightmare that is a clothes shop. Today the nightmare recurred because I’m off to England on Thursday and my tattered old wardrobe just won’t cut it. But...

Fiacre Banks @gillygirl But why is it so difficult? It’s especially for gents on the dignified side of 60 - it’s all geared for young exotic things. I promise to wear something when I visit, but it might not be very becoming.

My husband and I went on a bus trip today with members of a Probus club. We don’t belong to Probus but we helped make up the numbers they needed so the tour could go ahead. Firstly, we stopped at a lovely park to have morning...

Fiacre Banks @judyev A good bit of history. Belfast’s old gaol is now a visitor attraction but I have no interest in visiting. I used to visit inmates in a professional capacity and it was a thoroughly miserable experience each time. Water seeped from the walls and the...
