Aces Go Mad on the Isle of Swight
No, its not a typo – the Isle of Wight got renamed many moons ago, in favour of Swighty the goalkeeper. Who herself has also recently been named, in honour of her excellent weight-loss efforts to 'Slighty' Swighty…. But I digress.. Had a marv final weekend of singleton freedom on said golden Isle last weekend,…

Crazy Frantic
Aaarrrggghhh….. ! Despite all the best planning in the world (obviously mostly mine), Hawksey & I find ourselves in a bit of a pre-wedding flap. Lots to do and only 9 days to go, eek eek eek, giant rodent squeaking on a major scale. OK, so preparations not entirely helped by me whipping off to…

The Big C on TV
Has anyone else been watching The Big C on TV over the last few months? Or is it just me who feels morbidly compelled to watch it by dint of ovbiously knowing rather too much about how it feels and wondering just how on earth they'll end the series? It's a US 'sitcom' (slight misnomer as…

So what is Saddo Scott doing? Hiding from the…

Surreal Limboland
So, its been a funny old kind of a week. Am sitting in the living room, head a bit in hands, smelling the nice niff of washing powder on them as I've just hung the laundry out. My aren't days off exciting. But actually there's something quite comforting in a nice aroma. One of the…

Allsorts Weekend
So, it's been my favourite kind of weekend – lots of different bits going on. Started with H spontaneously mowing our jungle of a lawn on Thurs eve – prompted me to ask him what this mysterious all-action gardener type person had done with my fiance… And then the first BBQ of the 'summer' –…

Scotty’s Hen!
Now, there's a title I never thought I might one day be able to write about. Me, having a Hen – one of them there thingies conected to getting hitched, who'd have thought it? Well – the 21 hellbent destruction-oriented, revenge-seeking female missiles that tipped up this weekend, apparently! Actually, I do you a disservice…
