Ever ran out of gas in your vehicle? I've ran it close a fair few times but only once to date have I ran out of fuel and it was just as the car crept its way onto the Petrol Station forecourt and I ended up pushing it to the goddamn petrol pumps like a … Continue reading Share Your World 2017, 27th February

And Now Jazz
Since Sunday (26th February) marked the centenary of the release of Livery Stable Blues and Dixieland Jassband One-Step aka Original Dixieland Onestep which was the first jazz record I thought I'd share a few tunes. https://youtu.be/5WojNaU4-kI https://youtu.be/W232OsTAMo8 https://youtu.be/Qi1Sms31amo https://youtu.be/U5065JmEDCQ https://youtu.be/RDMXN310Lgg https://youtu.be/PojOsL9WbIs https://youtu.be/-s8W3f03hNk https://youtu.be/Tjnz0LPGy84
Musing of a Tea Drinking Sandman
How's the week been for the Sandman? It has been ok I guess, Sian is being well... Sian. For the most part I just went out with various pals for a bit of manliness and merriment in various local hostelries and amazingly didn't have a hangover in the mornings after. My actual birthday I made … Continue reading Musing of a Tea Drinking Sandman
Cul-de-Sac
"Are you sure he went this way?" asked Inspector Parton exasperated. It certainly looked like a dead end to him. "Positive," answered Liz scanning the alleyway.

Whatever they contained, they were full and couldn't have … Continue reading Cul-de-Sac

When you cut something with scissors, do you move your jaw (as if you were about to chew)? I don't think I do, however I did have a CDT teacher called Mr Place joked that the only way to draw a perfect parallel line was by sticking the tip of your tongue into the corner … Continue reading Share Your World2017 week 8

Hitchcock was yet to earn his title … Continue reading The Sound of Blackmail

Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out? Well they start tucked in but I am something of a roller so within an hour they are untucked, plus if Ben jumps on the bed he makes himself a little blanket nest at the bottom on the bed. Have you stolen a street sign before? Not a street … Continue reading Share Your World 2017 Feb 16
Passing the Time with Godot
I've not really done a lot these last few weeks except feel tired a lot, as I said to Sian, when did I become the guy likes to have a half hour nap on his lunch break? I must be getting old. My sleeping patterns a bit off too and I seem to have permanent … Continue reading Passing the Time with Godot

Regarding your fridge, is it organized or a mess inside? I would say that it is reasonably organised with raw meats on the bottom shelf, cooked meats on the second, cheese and yoghurt and salad and vegetables on the top. Milk, fruit juice and eggs are kept on the shelves in the door. Do you … Continue reading Share Your World 2017 week 6
