Have you joined me in my closet yet? No? Please don’t delay. You are missing out on some of my most profound musings (joking). But why the closet? Well from a sound perspective it works beautifully. It is a small well sound proofed room and successfully cuts out the echo. I got that hint from… Continue reading Inside my closet
Square-eyed
That’s what my dad used to call us when we watched too much television. What a joke! We only had two channels at the time and we loved it. 5 o’clock would be time to rush into the house so we could watch Dr Who or whatever else might be on “Children’s Hour”. In those… Continue reading Square-eyed
Gosh, I must have dozed off
Hey, my name is Wally and a funny thing happened to me on the way to the feeding grounds. I guess I was just being lazy by wanting to hitch a ride on that little iceberg but it seemed like a good idea at the time. To be honest I was getting sick and tired… Continue reading Gosh, I must have dozed off
Another nightmare
I was quite optimistic when I started off this morning. Bright and early into the office, a nice cup of coffee on my desk and my files stacked up neatly. If I call early like this I am sure to get someone wide awake and ready to help, I thought. I picked up the file… Continue reading Another nightmare
What’s better than a quarantine hotel?

Even if you get your negative covid test result in a day you still have to pay for all 3 days, even if you leave the hotel within a day. It certainly does act as… Continue reading What’s better than a quarantine hotel?
Vaccination Envy
How about those two young women in Florida who dressed up as grannies to get the vaccine?
Antarctica – I will pass thanks
So the pundits say that remote places will be top of the list for destinations once travel settles down a bit. Places like Galapagos and Antarctica for example. Mmmm – well Galapagos would be good. I haven’t been there yet (notice the optimism in that statement). But Antarctica – sorry I will have to pass.… Continue reading Antarctica – I will pass thanks
Visiting the ships’ graveyard
I really didn’t think this would be on the itinerary – after all my focus was on a cruise that took us from Durban South Africa all along the Mozambique coast, through the Mozambique channel and up to the beautiful islands of the Seychelles. Just looking at the map you could see that this would… Continue reading Visiting the ships’ graveyard
Home cooking ain’t so good
Are you like me? Just hating your own cooking and sick of the same few dishes that you have been serving up endlessly over the last year of this pandemic? For someone who used to eat out quite a lot this has been a real penance. You have probably bumped into me at Safeway wandering… Continue reading Home cooking ain’t so good
Around the world – a little story
So darling readers – yesterday I received news that the Oceania world cruise for 2023 sold out in about five hours. My goodness me – that pent up demand they keep talking about might be on the horizon. All that money we have saved by not eating out, not needing new work suits, shoes or… Continue reading Around the world – a little story
