Friday 13 November 2009


Yes I am back . Well the past few weeks have been interesting. The most has been allowing a teenage computer geek to persuade me I need a new computer. Of course I believed him and £800 later I have the top of the range Acer. Now I believed you got a new computer and by a bit of hocking up cables all the info on the old one transferred to the new one Nah aint so. I am still finding things and still hunting for others also all the inbox, out box, folders for the last six years are somewhere but I cant find them. All I am told is Windows 7 doesn't allow transfer. Now come on Bill Gates you know doubt have a minion to help I don't so PLEASE sort out Windows 7 and let me have the files back.

Tomorrow the streets will be filled with screaming children,fed up parents, grannies on fold up chairs, yes Carnival is coming to town. Will I go and see it I do not know. For the last four years I have been the guest of the Chairman of North Somerset so have seen carnival at Weston in comfort and supper to boot this year we will see. As you see ones cleaning lady can be quite grand and the trouble one has in getting her back to the dusting is no ones business. I think it was the Hat!

I have been advised that the contents of this blog though light hearted may cause offence. I do not and never have wished to do that so it's Goodbye from me and Goodbye from him. Time will pass and one day when I am free to write what I like without causing any one to be offended I shall return. Alan

HARVEST SHOW TIME


Now I am not a prude. So having said that I was some what surprised to find this strange outfit at this years Glastonbury Harvest Show. large marrows, long strangely curved cucumber's, carrots of hue and growth one could only marvel at, courgettes like large bananas. but a bodice piece. It must have been fashioned for a model in this years London Fashion Show as it was a C cup top, well I deduced that as they were cabbage leaves.

This was the third show and this year it's starting to get that nice town feel. They asked me to judge a "A bottle to lift the spirits"!. Well I do have a slight bit of experience in that field. The best was a Hedgerow Port. I assume that it was made from hedgerow fruits, though a few glasses of it and I would be flat out under a hedgerow.

C suggested I made a loaf but I pointed out the floor of the Town Hall would have to be strengthen to take one of my loafs, even the sparrows have turned down my baked offerings. Ah well back to the kitchen.

Wednesday 16 September 2009


Well we have returned from Cornwall. I am not saying it was cold but the picture of C. having lunch give you an idea of what the first part of the holiday was like. The Hotel was excellent and the view from our balcony when the sun finally came out was just like the south of France, not that I have ever been to the south of France but guess that's what it looks like. I did miss Jennet MacDonald singing beyond the blue horizon shines a brighter day, she may have found it we had to wait until the last few days.

Of course the tooth played up and the filling poped out and down the gullet , result tooth ache until I could get to see a local man. He refilled it but blow me that fell out so today it was head back and mouth open at my usual dentist. I do not know if you have ever had to have your head back and mouth open for 40 mins. let me tell you you get a real jaw ache and no fun.
