180615 Iftar

We couldn't wait until after sunset to break bread and so lunched here. In this part of the darkest Cotswolds, there is little evidence of Ramadan. Day #169 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by…

170615 Mermaids and Ostrichism

Wilcey (with her wonderful new mermaid hair) should have been doing the VAT, but showed distinct signs of ostrichism when she agreed to accompany me to Hobbycraft (she doesn't need much of an excuse to visit this amazing emporium). I…

150615 All that’s left of Nithing

These doors have probably seen many who break the law go through, so at least the pic is relevant to one part of today's word. Although, like outlaws, our local police station is a thing of the past. I think…

130615 A Rafty Place

The weather is anything but rafty, but as the grounds of the former Gestapo HQ, this place was certainly rafty during a rafty time.  I was in a rush to catch the bus so had no time to investigate why this…

100615 Preparing for the Booze Cruise

As the boat prepares for its next booze cruise ... although I don't think these Danube cruises style themselves as such, but it's close enough for today's WotD. Day #161 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by…

070615 A Brute to Obrute

This stealth bomber flew over us - at rather a low level, I felt.  Not the sort of thing one expects to see in the countryside, but it works for the word of the day on so many levels. Day #158…

050615 Nice-But-Dim

Being so super-busy at the moment, I didn't have time to go and seek out real nice-but-dim folk.  But traffic chaos, Chelsea tractors and this corner of SW3 probably all have some connection with being N-B-D. Day #156 of the…

04015 To Obtund Hearing

Do headphones obtund hearing in the long run?  Certainly, sitting next to non-noise-cancelling-headphone-wearing people on the tube obtunds my enthusiasm for music. And the Delauney has now been added to the little black book.   Day #155 of the second…

030615 Nabocklish

 Struggling to get the Baked Alaska to flame, but she did get it going and unfortunately it was rather uneven. The crunchy meringue was thus interspersed with crunchy charcoal. I should have said "nabocklish" after her first three attempts. Fun evening…

010615 The Pleonexia of Banks

Bill paying and I had a few overseas transfers to make.  Pleonexia doesn't even begin to describe it - how does money travel through so many different electronic hands, all taking their little slice of commission on the way? Day…
