They always joke about people in this part of the world having strange genetic defects due to inbreeding. I used to joke that around here the machines they have for measuring your feet (well at least they used to when I was a child) had a height dimension on them due to people having different […]

Sitting at my desk listening to some music and reading the Sunday Supplements. I’ve realised that reading them in the evening with a nice glass of Whisky makes for a very pleasant end to the weekend.

In the Co-Op yesterday, paid for my goods (served by the clerasil brigade as usual that required an extra person to ID me), then spotted this: I’ve never bought the Eastern Daily Press before, but felt compelled to buy a copy of it. How living in East Anglia could I not have known about the […]

This has to be one of the best Xmas decorations I have ever seen. Pretty tasteful, and the Xmas trees in each of the windows look really clean with a great choice of colours: I like Xmas decorations on buildings, this is from Edinburgh a couple of years back:

Really I hear you say ? I took this picture this morning before leaving home: My thought was ‘flurry of snow, great that’ll be whole of the South East shut down’.

(that’s of the railway variety before anyone gets excited). When I was heading for Narita the other week I spotted a small model of the train on the cart the girl was pulling through the train selling tea and coffee etc. I realised I had to have one as a memento. I hope that doesn’t […]

When I was a child we used to pass Arnotts (a shop House of Fraser had bought over) in my parents car pretty much every Friday. There would always be a ‘Sale’ sign in the window and I’d always point it out to my parents. I guess even at an early age I spotted anomalies […]

I realised this morning I have too many open threads and things flying around. I need to get closure on a few things – but it seems to be a challenge / struggle recently given that other people need to be involved. Today was a reasonable proactive start to the day, only to be caught […]
