At 1.30 this morning I was suddenly wakened but by what I do not know: I suspect it was a dream rather than a loud bang and I haven’t been asleep since. It’s now 1.30 in the afternoon. I do dislike this kind of disruption and...

Pretty went online and bought a heavy duty plastic shower chair and a grab bar for our shower stall. I had to call her for help when I couldn't get back up off the tub floor a couple of weeks ago. It was embarrassing for both of...

Fiacre Banks @ladyduck A Rossini will do fine thanks. It’s just a pity that our sunny weather came to an end today because a Rossini would have been so refreshing in the sunshine.

Fiacre Banks @judyev Oh I do like a nice idyll. Weather has gone downhill for our holiday tomorrow, but that’s ok - it’s Ireland.

I’m rather pleased with this begonia that I have grown. What isn’t pleasing me today is that the front pages of the newspapers are swooning and blethering about some swiftly woman getting engaged to be married. I think she’s...

I’ve written before about the Goldfields pipeline in Western Australia. When gold was discovered at Kalgoorlie, 600 kms (372 miles) inland from Perth, there was a desperate need to provide water to the area. Trying to source water...

Fiacre Banks @judyev I’m unlikely to ever be in Paris again other than flying there to get the train to my brother in Normandy - it’s really only for millionaires now.

Twice this week the news has reported on the naked antics of aircraft crew - I await the inevitable third. The first was a pilot who was found drunk with no sign of his clothes, wandering around a hotel in Cape Verde, 36 hours...

Fiacre Banks @Traceyjayne I suspect that it was also guilty of digging up a cat that I had inexpertly buried. The rest of the family don’t know that so please don’t tell.

I never really grew up, as some here have concluded. I still giggle when people break wind in public and I smirk if anyone refers to the French towns of Brest or Condom, or to the Italian town of Bra. So bite me - I’m Fiacre....
