Now that’s what I call a Cornish Jellyfish
Incredible – they even make jellyfish the same shape as a Cornish pasty these days. Check out this whopping great sucker, found on the beach down in lovely Padstow when we were there over last weekend – great top edge crimping!

‘Australia Day’
Last Wednesday was the new Australia Day – well, in my books anyway. I know two people who have moved to live in Oz – both to Sydney, where they have now met each other and have become my Sydney chums outpost. Weirdly – given that one only makes it to the UK every year…

Dodgy Celeb Spotting – Joan Collins
Gruuuugggh – check this out. Yes, its a poor picture, but the subject matter wasn't too hot either. Joan Collins (and I thought she was dead) at the table next to us in Colbert restaurant, Sloane Square where I had a very good catch up dinner with Fi McNae and Janine last Friday night..

Seychelles Underwater World
Given how sore I felt for the holiday, the underwater world became my restful retreat even more than usual. I spent many happy hours being weightless in the water, forgetting my sore old bones and chasing every poor fish and sea creature in sight, in pursuit of a decent photo. These are some of my…

Seychelles Return
Blimey, I have been KNACKERED since we got back from the Seychelles – a not very handy combination of very stiff/painful joints (always handy on a moving boat..) leading to limited sleep and then of course quite a long journey back. Hawksey losing the tickets for the boat to the island with the airport on…

Aces Hockey Birds on Tour
Did we manage to get our act together to book an overseas hockey tour? Did we kiss ass and find ourselves at one of the big UK tours instead? Did we bollocks – which is why we just about managed to get 16 of us to a one night tour in Chichester instead! One of…

Our 4th Anniversary
Bejasus – those 4 years have gone awfully fast. We found ourselves asking 'is it 4'? 'Or 3'? 'Which year did we get married in??' – talk about short memories. And what a thrill year 4 is – the 'official' gift is…. an appliance! Not really being in the mood or the market for a…

The Scott family en masse
Now there's something I don't often – OK, never – write. And it's not like we are some massive clan, our family has always been pretty small, and, as many of you will know, a bit dislocated: Cathy living in Holland, Richard's religious fervour somewhat unhelpful for smooth family bonding, my one elderly aunt being…

Good result
God I feel like I've been living on scanners these last 2 weeks. Had my MRI of 3 areas of my neck, back and lower back last week – net result was that I need to see a musculoskeletal chap this Friday to work out if the best way to sort the ongoing pain and…
