Malfunctioning chaffinch

Woohoo! Long weekend coming up. Even longer for me cos we’re going up to Suffolk to see Lee on his birthday on Tuesday. We’ve even bought him presents! Tomorrow Suzy will be here for food and gossip and Sam and John will also be returning from the land of flames and fire to show us [...]

Can’t really see what I’m doing

Yes, it’s that time of year again, when I deprive the slugs of my onions, pull them up and plait them together. The onions that is, not the slugs.

I have no porch

Those of you who have visited (or indeed live in) my house will know it doesn’t have a porch. Try telling that to DHL/Parcelpoint. According to DHL, the D50 I ordered from Amazon was delivered yesterday and left in my porch. I have no porch. I have been at home for the past two days [...]
