  • Cloglandia

    Ah – Hawksey has finally, after three years of long distance Blighty-based apprenticeship, been initiated as a full honarary Clog. Not only did he cycle on a proper sit-up-and-beg Dutchie bike alongside the Hollandia canals, but he also climbed up into the mysterious wooden workings of several proper Dutchtastic windmills, as it was 'come and see how…

  • Oh and Good News

    Just been to see Prof – and all good on the scores on the doors front Negligible paraprotein, and all the weird IG Gamma-this and Albumen-that scores are progressing as hoped for. Just like me on a run, movement is very slow but at least generally manging to head in the right direction. Prof still…

  • Room 101

    Can you Adam and Eve it – I've written a grand total of 101 posts so far… and not a Dalmatian to show for it. Amazing how it all adds up (a bit like the nunber of drinks I had at little Decca'sa christening yesterday, not bad for someone who claims not to like champagne,…

  • Watery Weekend

    Indeed, was a wet one, fortunately, of the boat variety, rather than of the 'wet with lots of tears' variety (though I am still far too much of a dab hand at these, what a wuss). Startd off with a fine few cocktails with Lizzy T in B@1 in Putney. We might have been the…

  • Bon Weekend

    Alors, just back from Le Touquet and still – 2 days later – feeling a bit jaded from a stonking weekend. None of this will be half as funny as it was at the time it actually happened, but highlights of Tour 2010 were: – 6 of us running full tilt into a high jump…

  • Conundrums

    Or should that be 'conundra'??? Mikey I'm sure will tell me. Seem to have a lot of things to think about and to be making sweet fanny adams progress on any of them. Votes and views as ever welcome, starting with…. Shall we move house? Really want a bigger living space to entertain all you…

  • A Weekend of 40ths

    So then – does 40 plus 40 plus 80 mean I had a full 160 degree weekend? Friday night – lovely bash for Michelle's 40th at Le Retro in Teddington. Meal made all the more momentous by the fact I've been eating ryvita and other forms of sawdust this week, so that dripping succulent frenchified steak was…

  • The Case of the Garlic Turd..

    Firstly – is it turd or terd? I've never been to sure how to spell it. Very disturbing for an anal wordy-worry-wart like me. Or is that 'wort'? Anyway – to put those minds at rest (if you read the Comments on here), the garlic turd couldn't go into the bin as if Conker managed to…

  • Over the last week…

    Funny, when someone says to you 'ooh, what have you been up to lately?', 9 times out of ten you suddenly can't remember a bloody thing and it makes you like like you're a dweeb whose bum's been glued to the sofa or had their head in a plazzy bag for the past 7 days.  Or…
