Bits and Pieces

First things first, lets have a gander at the music haul I purchased over the past ten days or so. They are: Nat Gonella and his Georgians: 1931 - 1941 which is a budget release featuring 25 tracks from those ten years. The title is a bit of a misnomer as a good proportion of the …

Time flies like an arrow, Fruit Flies like a Banana

  How are things going? Ok I guess, Sian has been in a reasonably pleasant mood and sort of chatty. Well her version of chatty and pleasant but I knew she was moody from day one as our first conversation was her moaning about discrimination at work. We've talked about practicalities on our relationship and …

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 …

Zat You Santa Claus

  https://youtu.be/UVj9gPcCP1s It was the (proper) post before Christmas and all through the house, everything was even the mouse.

That Was the Week that Wasn’t

Well my holiday week has drawn to a close and it is back to the millstone tomorrow (after a switch in my days off) which while it'll be good to be back working, I wish I wasn't sitting here typing while have a minor case of the loose bowel content, no doubt it'll be fine …

The Wanderer Returns

Oh dear look at the all the dust in here, man it has been a while since I wrote a proper post isn't it? So how are things in the world of the Sandman? They are going reasonably well with a few trips to the cinema, work ticking over reasonably well and on the whole …

The British Summer- Nice Wasn’t It?

It's been a few weeks since I last updated properly, simply because I haven't had very much to say which I suppose you could take as a good sign or as a bad sign of things. For one week only we were blessed with glorious summer weather her in Shropshire with one particular day getting …

The Haunted Fishtank

Monday was a relatively relaxed day with bills paid and a brief visit to a Tom and Mikeless Mytton and Mermaid, though I did engage in verbal intercourse with the lovely barmaid and she told me how she was looking forward to her Holiday in two weeks time and proving how much an attentive 30 …

Shadowplay

Film Noir That is the first thing I think of whenever people talk of shadow: rain coated detective with a penchant for Bourbon and smoking under street lamps, the glamorous but dangerous dame, gangsters and policemen of dubious morals, you know the sort. The distinctive visual style of Film Noir originated as a bargain of …

Bottom

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeS58ugfQ2c Now one may wonder as my sudden inclusion of music tracks to open and close this entry, there is no particular reason other then to liven the page up a bit. If you think you know why I selected these particular tracks please comment below and I will tell you if you are right …
