I Have Something to SayI'm completely shocked by the arrogance of people using social websites (such as this one) jumping to conclusions about the posts they see of strangers, without any concept they might have got the wrong end of the stick, or that it doesn't personally...See More »
I Am WelshAbout living in England, but going home for a spell. (No, I'm not a fairy! Everyone knows that spell has more than one meaning) I never properly learned Welsh. I can read it, which is something, and it's got enough Latin influence in common with...See More »
I Love WhiskeyThe lord and master is just polishing off the last of the Laphroig. I'm starting on the Penderyn. We both prefer Irish. We'll probaby buy some more Penderyn. And if somebody wants to give us Scotch, we won't spit it at you
I Feel So AloneUnimaginable though this might be in catering circles, there are people in existence who dislike strawberries and anything strawberry flavoured. I have never knowingly come across one, but I'm pretty sure I can't be the only one. But it's real. I...See More »
I Like to Ride My BikeI like to ride my bike. Well that's not 100% true because I don't have a bike. If I had a bike I wouldn't be able to ride it because I've never leerned. I never learned because I never had a bike. How does anyone manage to have AND ride a bike?
I Love a Good QuoteWhen one door closes, another door opens. This is not always true. Indeed, it can be fixed with magnetic catches. However, it kinda serves you right for buying cheap cupboards in the first place
I'm Saying Don't Judge Me Until You've Walked In My ShoesI have a lot of shoes. Lots and lots. I tend to buy them by colour, to go with outfits on a mix and match basis. I have shoes in turquoise, yellow, pumpkin, tan, royal blue, purple, red, fuschia - you get the picture. And keep them for years. Not...See More »
I Love Birthdays I Love Getting Older, It's the Way of LifeI like being the age I am, which is less than most people my age, because unlike them I'm nowhere near it. The reason I'm happy about it is because I know I'm better off than the generation behind me. I could afford to buy a place to live as a...See More »
I Went Right On Ahead And Baked Myself A Seven Tier Crazy CakeYou know what I hate? It's husband who laugh at you, last thing at night. Husbands who, for no good reason, crease themselves up, pissing themselves laughing, saying you're so funny (when you're not) and double up like they mean it no matter how much...See More »
I Feel So AloneHere's another reason why I feel so alone. Poetry. Seems to me that everyone else in the world thinks it's marvellous stuff, can't get enough of it, the bleaker the better, blah di blah. Me, I can't be doing with it. I wrote some when I was an...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsWay back in the mists of time, I used to smoke. The Lord and master devised a way of helping me in my struggle to give up (which wouldn't work for everyone) and many years ago, succeeded. Except that every now and then when I'm with the sister who...See More »
I Feel So AloneWhen boarding a ferry at Rosslare, passengers, myself being one of them, were warned that the weather was so bad that the crossing to Fishguard might have to be postponed overnight. There was a lot of grumbling. Anyway, someone in authority decided...See More »
I Like a Good QuoteWhat the eye don't see is sauce for the gander. The Lord and master is watching the cycling on TV. He has, at last, given up looking for his old, worn out linen trousers. I hope he doesn't start looking for them again because I know for a fact he...See More »
I Enjoy Meaningful ConversationsThere isn't a group for the opposite of this. However, I find I'm getting less tolerant of meaningful conversations. In fact I have my own scale of what is and isn't meaningful, and once I realise that a chat is going anything over a 5, I either...See More »
I Fight Through Life DailyThe lawn was mowed for the first time this year today. One thing after another ensured that the job was put off. Unannounced visitors, the petrol being 'off' (whatever that means, except the mower wouldn't start), the discovery that the mower...See More »
I Enjoy Meaningful ConversationsYes, I enjoy meaningful conversations. However, old curmudgeon that I am, I'm becoming increasingly irked by young men I don't know, who have never openly written anything that's caught my eye or commented on anything I've had to say, privately...See More »
I'm Right HandedI had a flirtation with veganism. If not for the Lord and master's demands for cauliflower cheese topped with bacon, hot smoked salmon, and other temptations, I could have lasted longer. But you can't beat meat.
I Like SnowI've been taking a great deal of interest in politics lately. There was Andrew Neill having a sensible speculative discussion about Trump's potential relationship with Putin, and I was completely distracted by his toupee. Its a completely different...See More »
I Am a Curious PersonBeing as I'm British I feel entitled to be excused for not knowing. It's the Trump thing. Obviously this guy, for all his political inexperience, has struck a chord with just over half of American voters. He can't behave himself around attractive...See More »
I Am An EP RefugeeUNKNOWN FAULT Having just returned home exhausted from another time zone and totally oblivious to my problems, my Lord and Master was in bed, churning out zeds for all he was worth, smack dab in the middle of the day. Meanwhile my sonovabitch...See More »
I Enjoy SolitudeFunny thing, blood. Having siblings. They annoy you to pieces, and you're incapable of having a generous thought about them - because you aren't self destructive and you've learned! You move away and grow up and make a life they aren't involved in,...See More »
I Enjoy SolitudeI'd like it said of me that I suffer fools gladly. But I don't do it gladly. Not for long, anyway.
