A merry Christmas from HMV



I wanted to actually show Zoe, who recieves this what I bought with her lovely HMV vouchers. So I decided to take a photo of my new favourite Tee Shirt. I think you'll agree I have an eye for fashion.

War..Huh...What is good for...people who enjoy re-enactment really.

In the words of the song, by Edwin Starr.  War, huh, Yeah, What is it good for, absolutely nothing, Uh Huh. Although, yesterday this was proved wrong as it was good for something. It is good for the 6,000 people who I am told are member of the Sealed Knot   . There are those of us, whose hobbies tend to be more sedate in nature; Reading, Gardening, making ships out of matchsticks and then there are those who believe that a weekend could not be complete without charging into some one else behind a 30ft ash pike, dressed as a time traveller from the 17th Century. I am, sadly, not one of these individuals as the idea of camping that frequently fills me with dread. Let alone how you tie down a pike or a halberd to the roof bars of a Ford Fusion.

New, old car!

C) I have, with the help of the next door neighbour, figured out how you turn main beam on and, more importantly, off again. So, that's been pretty successful. starting it, pointing it and stopping it has been okay so far, too! Yet, it's still an elephant in a shoe box.

The return of the books

It turned out to be a rather eventual last 6 months of 2018. We moved house in November, but the initial process began wat back in July, at the height of what was a lovely, hot summer. When we moved in, finally, it was dark and cold.  The most immediate benefit of this was having a substantially larger property to live in. With more bedrooms, a garage and a larger garden you could say we have space to burn and by any stretch of the imagination I have begun to utilise this space. To my hearts delight I have been able to move my books, my precious books, from the loft and now, into a place of prominence: where books deserve to be.  In this case, to hide some especially unappealing wallpaper the decision was taken to cover this with bookshelves.  So, after a trip to ikea and much lugging about with heavy packages and then, the obligatory, faffing about with flat packs the shelves were ready to be secured to the wall. The wallpaper began to disappear as they went up. It took ...
