The Commute
On my morning route I often see walkers, runners and other exercisers by the side of the road. Trends in gear can shift by season or by fashion. It seems day-glo colored running shoes are popular now. That makes sense for visibility and safety. For that reason runners wear reflective garments al...
Shoot! Happy belated birthday buddy. Yours sounds as exciting as mine, but I had to buy myself the Hyacinth.

Birthday money, bog cleaner and bird food
My sister gave me some birthday money. Did I go out and frot it up with a prossie ? No. Did I buy a new Dalek ? No. I went down to Wilko and bought mealworms and blue tit mix. Then I went to Poundland and bought bog cleaner then I went to Tesco and bought ice cream (for me). The sixth floor dine...
Ooh and yuk, hope you mend quickly. Nice to hear about the birds for entertainment.

arm full of loopy and click, click click
Pretty rough session of lithotripsy yesterday. Firstly, it took about forty minutes for them to find the stone. The session began and immediately, despite the morphine based painkiller they put in my arm, I was in some pain. As the intensity of the pulses was increased it became worse and the co...
Better luck with this soon! We cut off the land line 2 years now at least. You can tell if your phone is really water damaged by pulling off the back and seeing if there is a pink spot on the battery.

Customer service, it's a myth
I despair ! Over the past couple of weeks, I have wasted time and money on phone calls trying to sort out silly little problems and getting little to no help from these so called highly trained professional customer care departments. Firstly, my Galaxy phone is on the blink. The micro USB port i...
Mmmm....mulled wine and mince pies and duck! The bandstand is gorgeous, too.

The concert in the park
Cobbled this together this afternoon from the clips I shot at the Christmas concert yesterday.
Well of course. Looking out the office window on the horse farm I saw flocks of geese land in the pasture and was wild hungry for them before breakfast.

Appeal for the ducks
This is an urgent appeal for anyone who loves duck... Sorry, can we do that again ? I think this script should read ducks plural, otherwise overtones of sauce l'orange or cherries creep in. When I went for my walk on Sunday, I had pretty much a full loaf of Warburtons bought the day before. I t...
You should have enough to last til spring!

Peppers by post
I sent my British blogging buddy, Keith a packet of Serranos and Thai Dragons earlier this season. When he wrote to say they made his lips numb for hours I responded; "Bah Hah Ha! just you wait!". Then I put some Scorpions, Scotch Bonnets and Ghosts in separate baggies into a bubble packet for O...
Philadelphia is lousy with zombies, I think these were professionals.

Night Life
Hubby and I went to Philadelphia yesterday and got accosted by zombies as we went for a beer. Luckily, no one was bitten and we escaped with our brains only mildly damaged.
Love those pink and purple trees! Am also holed up and provisioned. Can't do much about the wind and water, but we can drink beer.

The colours are so pretty they make you cry...
A quiet but grey morning in the arboretum. Not very popular with the ducks as I'd not taken any Warburtons with me reason being, I'd only 2 slices of the stuff at home. The colours as you can see are pretty amazing. One thing I've noticed, following a software upgrade on Android...
Did you mix it well, all the crud on the bottom stirred in?

Since moving here, I have only decorated the lounge and my bedroom, the latter with Darlo's help. Mid - November, I have Welder, Pat Val and O'de un coming round for a meal to celebrate Pat's birthday in early November and O'de un's on the 22nd. I made the decision to decorate the hall, to get r...
Nice photos! Look at those stems, still really fresh.

Got home yesterday to find a package from Moll in Baltimore. She's the artist and chilli grower extraordinaire with a penchant for exotic varieties. In the package were: Hot Thai Dragons Trinidad Chocolate Congo (came with a skull and crossbones warning for heat) Serranos (crackling ...

Darlo popped round this morning for one of our power brekkies, we do this about once a month. A bit special this one, as we had some very nice bacon donated by OBC. Maynards Staffordshire Black which is cured in molasses. Very nice it was too. Also as you can see from the cartons on the table...
Nice sweater! Or you would say jumper

Yeah, yeah yeah
Bought this watch dead cheap off E Bay ages ago from someone in Hong Kong. First time I put it on the strap broke as it was too small. Anita managed to get me a grown ups sized strap and she had a replacement battery too, yeah, yeah yeah. Fab gear.
Joolie, this is growing mold in the roots so now it lives on the parking lot.
Commented Mar 14, 2012 on Grass at Molly Goatwax
Grass
So, I figured, grass in a dish is intriguing but really not worth paying a lot for at the posh flower shop. Then the teenager was given the gift of grass from a man whose cats she tends when he's away. So we're all trendy like that now, too.
I am pleased, thanks!

On My Easel Today
I have no idea why I am painting Richard Nixon. Or what to do with it. It's almost as if he just appeared. This will exercise those Quaker Values, and hues...and tones.
I've been storing my photos on Picassa for years and years...

in praise of new software
So OBC said after seeing the photos from Wednesday "be nice if we could have that in a slideshow to send out to everyone". I dipped my paw into my fairy purse, fetched out the wand and lo, here it is... Actually, it wasn't like that at all. I've not made piccies into a slideshow in years. I ...

Counting our blessings
We have heat, we have coffee, we have each other and the clog that has caused the sewage backup in the basement is beyond the property line. The city is sending a crew out to fix it. We hope.
I think this tree is quite pretty, if not Christmas-y.

And so it begins
OBC called and said "D'ya fancy a quick un". I was up the Navi in a shot. It was very nice in there. They have a log burning stove and the Chrstmas decs were up. Tree's a bit radical for my traditional tastes. Don't know what the Americans are up to, but I have seen in shop windows in our tow...
Ready to eat! These are hot as the dickens and thrive as an indoor plant, so these you can let fruit past Christmas!

Colours three
My plant which fruited, is now sporting chillies of three differerent colours. Deep purple, red and cream (plus the pasty green they all start out at).
Happy curry!

I love Poundland
Popped down to Poundland just after 8 this morning before all the chavs get in there with their five finger discount... Love the place, especially the new one which used to be Woolworths at the top of Park Street. So much space between the aisles. 250 Ml of Listerine is more than two quid in ...
I personally don't like that art either. I like your arboretum photos a lot better!

This morning was my weigh in with Jenny at the NHS centre. She had a pug on because I bullied her into having a picture taken to assign it to her number in the phonebook of the new phone. So this is her, face like a bosted apple, looking disapprovingly. I told her I'd been walking my arse off...

Chilli progress
The plant which fruited, is doing so because I zapped the flowers with a small brush to pollenate it, as it flowered too late to get any attention from bees. The fruit is small as you can see, but the plant is pampered as I move it round the flat to follow the sun through the day. One chilli ...
The Bulgarian Carrot peppers are as strong as Jalapenos, but are not hybrids nor are they a type of Jalapeno. None of those in the packet are hybrids. The reason I don't want to grow seeds from my own crop is that they've been interbreeding.

Bounty from Baltimore
Postman's just been. A package from Baltimore, bursting with beautiful and unusual varieties of chilies from Molly Goatwax in Baltimore. It is she who gave me the bug for growing chillies, but our summer didn;t allow for such a harvest like she has. She's been telling me recently that she's h...
