Well it has been a fairly steady week for the old Sandman with not a lot happening except me beginning to plan a potential trip Stateside in which I hope to take in New York City, Chicago again as I didn't really see much when I last went and hopefully take in more of Detroit … Continue reading I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue

Share Your World 2017- 20th March
How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? I guess I would probably say about forty and keep it vague, I've often had people say I was an old man (or rather like one of the teachers who were mostly around 40 save one or two either way) ever since I was … Continue reading Share Your World 2017- 20th March
Share Your World 2017- Week 1
Would you prefer to receive a unicycle, bicycle, tricycle or motorcycle? Well one of my frequent suggestions when I worked at the Horseshoe Inn at Uckington was that the waiting-on and bar staff should adopt the gimmick of Unicycle Monday, in which we serve food an dispense drinks while riding a unicycle- this idea was never taken … Continue reading Share Your World 2017- Week 1
Share Your World Week 50
What is your favourite smell? What memory does it remind you of? Hmm I'm not sure I have a favourite smell as such. I do like the aroma of a well stoked open log fire, especially if some has thrown a few pine cones into the mix. I don't think it stirs any particular memory … Continue reading Share Your World Week 50
T’aint Nobodies Business if I Do

Thanks to the London Jazz Festival the boys and girls at the BBC have started a pop -up … Continue reading T’aint Nobodies Business if I Do

Last few weeks for some reason I have been feeling … Continue reading Autumn Leaves
Dregs of the Summer Homebrew

The Mancurian Candidate
Guess who I saw on Friday. That's right, everyone I looked at. So after six weeks of cancelled plans, illness and arguments Friday I finally got to meet the delightful Sian. There was no real plan to it, I just got a message in the morning asking if I wanted to meet up and … Continue reading The Mancurian Candidate
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 … Continue reading The British Summer- Nice Wasn’t It?

Although we are busy it is nice to be finishing at a respectable time and getting home before midnight on … Continue reading Of Mice and Barmen
