    How embarrassing – at 11:30 last night our youngest was out on the town and phoned home. “You still have your backup bike at home?” Yes – “Were you near the Duke of York on Saturday?” Yes – “Your bike is locked up nearby.” How could I have missed seeing…

    The miscreant, who has a bad dose of sunburn, came into the kitchen where I was preparing a roast dinner to tell me that the bathroom floor was flooded. My speed up those stairs was a personal best. We stopped the toilet from chucking water over the floor. I say…

    Last night we ventured out to the Crescent Arts Theatre arriving a wee bit late for the start of Closer. We were asked to come back about 8:30 pm during the intermission, so we went to the nearest bar and kicked our heels for a bit. When we returned, the…

    İ want Serenity and Happiness I want happiness, hear the birds chirp and silence. I want calm, only to see the beauty and peacefulness. I want emotions, just loving feeling and serenity. I want good days, days where everyone smiles and joy. the sound of sea waves, tunes and music…

    Birthday cake is tricky…there are unwritten rules and conventions to be observed. I had failed to grasp this principle and paid the price – bigtime. My improvised tea fruit cake with drizzle orange icing sugar was roundly mocked. To be fair, it became a sticky, stodgy disappointment before I put…

    August 12, 2016

    Hanging around on the Lisburn Road yesterday evening, I wandered into the bookies curious to find out what bets they could accept on the Olympic games. It was mutually agreed that I could take a punt on predicting who would be 1st, 2nd or third in the men’s 100m – tricast betting.…

    My early morning cooking has been noticed and a halt has been called to the 4.30 baking. Fair enough, dawn should be given a break before I inflict myself upon the world. Hairy Bikers, thank you for inspiring the above. It tastes great.

    16 stone is a lot…103 kg roughly, but I always knew that I had become a blob. Denial wasn’t an option. I’d seen me in photos and it was not pleasant. 3kg lost since my last weigh in with the Practice Nurse. She is probably a lightweight, but I wouldn’t…

    Hairy Bikers have a recipe for tea fruitcake, which I tried to bake the other day while I was over at my mother-in-law’s. Judith eschewed the collaborative baking suggestion, so I had a go on my own. I had brought round a bunch of ingredients, but sadly no mixed fruit.…

    I did well to stay off the booze for over 8 weeks, but after the holidays my belly bounced back. Today I will be getting some advice from the local Practice Nurse on how to manage my blood sugar. I don’t know why I haven’t finished reading Dr Mosley’s book…
