WF told me there were some good snakes in The Reptile Shop in Morecambe. That might be true but the Excellent Lesbian and I managed to go to two former reptile shops and failed utterly to find any snakes in Morecambe. We went up to Williamson Park and took in the chameleon and mini beasts … Read More
I am thirty seven. I have no children. I am not displeased by this but I am surprised. I had assumed that I would end up with children no matter what I tried to do with my life. The notion that what I do, what I aim for and what I attempt actually affects my … Read More
I’m still thinking about the guy from primary school. He worked out on the oil rigs, not uncommon for smart guys from The Shire. It’s good money if you have the smarts and can cope with the weird isolation of a rig. A lot of the people who I went to primary school with, some … Read More

I perhaps imbue them with more meaning because it matters to me how the people around me are connected to me. Probably the most ‘me’s used in one sentence on this blog. I … Read More
I thought George Bush was a joke, I quoted Robert Anton Wilson saying that if George W Bush was the President if the free world then we were in trouble. Then of course, like almost every left winger on the planet, I’m left in slack jawed amazement and horror when they elected 45. Now, I … Read More

It’s been a very Mish weekend but now I am incredibly tired. I went for a Wild walk in the wind and weather earlier and it was wonderful but now I need to curl up in the warm and just listen to it. My final treat to myself this weekend was to make a roast … Read More
