A series of short walks to odd local locations this evening - all looking a bit spooky...

He looks like he's had too many...

Corporation Street closed for five days from August 4th - for "carriageway repairs"...

Facebook thinks that I should be doing some of my shopping at a different grocery store. I can read the name of the store, but everything else, except the phone number, is in a script which in indecipherable by me. The code on the phone number reveals that it is in Thailand. I'll still be...

Yesterday, having got fed up of offering me dead mice, she brought in a live one, for me to train with, in an effort to get me to catch my own, I suppose. After a while, she got fed up of my failures and forgot about it. Today, whilst one of us was snoozing in her room, barely managing the...

Today was deemed to be 'too hot' for the walking group to venture out, so two of us elected to do one that we've done twice before, but not on ideal days. It seemed worth starting out early, in case it did get hot, so we arrived to start the ascent at 7am. On the two previous attempts...

"Temporarily Closed – but not for long! We’re taking a short break until 29th July while we give the pub a fresh new look. Thanks for your patience, we promise it’ll be worth the wait!"...

For various reasons, the German who provoked me into the two-hikes-a-week programme wanted to do things this afternoon/evening. We ended up doing two shortish ones - one that I've done a few times, to the high point of the local mountains - that one is fairly easy and we moved onto the second...
