Is this excess packaging or what!

In my hand you can see the black, tiny, Micro SD Card, in the background the box in which it was delivered.  Read More →

How do you write yours?

For some, no most, of my readers, that question is possibly totally irrelevant. as the question relates to how your write your Blog Posts and I believe that the majority of my readers probably don’t write blog posts at all so will have huge difficulty in answering that question. The thought was triggered by me writing an e-mail to someone who has contacted me in response to a blog post. I was... [Read more of this post]

Is it just my imagination or…….

has anyone else noticed that there seems to be an awful lot of violent crime being reported at the moment? both with cases coming to court and in crimes actually being committed. This will only be a short post and not a particular moan jsut drawing attention to something I have observed, with some comment. On 2 separate occasions in the past couple of weeks, we have seen areas cordoned off by the police... [Read more of this post]

the Panasonic G1 Digital Camera

 Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 12.1MP Digital Camera with Lumix G Vario 14-45 mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH Mega OIS Lens Ok so I cheated with this photo, it isn’t taken by me put pinched directly from Panasonic’s web site, but how am I supposed to take a photo of a camera when I need to use the camera to take the photo? various options involving  mirror come to mind but none of them would be very satisfactory.... [Read more of this post]

We have the Heat

The new boiler was fitted Thursday/Friday last week, although due to a fault with the original Programmable Thermostat they had to come back this week, which the guy did yesterday, to fit a new one. It has been so nice knowing that the boiler is just working and we have hot water on tap, we haven’t had hot water like that for a number of months, the novelty of being able to turn on the hot tap... [Read more of this post]

An Anniversary I would rather not have.

OK so a weird title eh? It was the anniversary, during the week, of an event that I am not going to enlarge on here, for reasons too personal to mention but suffice to say that this time last year I was suffering from pretty severe depression, as anyone who knows me at all will have been well aware. I had actually been suffering from depression for a couple of years and it hadn’t been taken overly... [Read more of this post]

How sick can people get?

I am totally sickened at the depths of depravity that mankind will sink in the name of humour! This post is likely to spark off a debate on freedom of speech and civil liberties but to my mind people do NOT have the right to use other peoples misfortune and heartache as a source of humour and amusement. OK so it goes like this, apparently back in November 2008 the Sun carried a big story about having... [Read more of this post]

Gritty Issues

OK it has to be said that it is pretty chilly out there, the coldest we have experienced in a good few years, and for a longer period of time than we have become used to in recent years. BUT that being said, the conditions don’t exactly break records, we have had colder weather, we have had more snow, we have had longer periods of cold, even in my lifetime we have had it worse than it is currently. So... [Read more of this post]

Keeping Warm, somehow!

THose who follow me on Twitter or Facebook (and if you dont but want to click the links and you will be taken to my pages) will know that we have been suffering from lack of heating, our boiler has stopped working. Well, the saga started some months ago, the boiler had stopped heating water, the boiler still seemed to be working although it would cut out occasionally,  so we had the Boiler guys round... [Read more of this post]

Christian Standards?

My apologies for the poor standards of writing in this post, I have struggled to get the matters down in a coherent and logical manner but I trust tht you will read and know my heart as you read, my desire for holiness and purity but not to condemn or criticise. I realise that the blog post that follows could be seen as me being super spiritual but I want you to know that is not the case, I am all... [Read more of this post]

Where is HE who has been born the King of the Jews?

Mathew 2:1-6 NOW WHEN Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men [astrologers] from the east came to Jerusalem, asking, Where is He Who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east at its rising and have come to worship Him. When Herod the king heard this, he was disturbed  and troubled, and the whole of Jerusalem with him. So he... [Read more of this post]

Christmas Greetings & the year in review (briefly!)

OK so I though, we are at the end of the year, we have failed to send out many Christmas Cards, so if you haven’t had one from us and expected one the our apologies, if you have received one your one of the few. So if you could accept this little blog post, complete (if it all works) with an animated video Christmas Card! a few shots we took in the snow the other day, as our Christmas Card to... [Read more of this post]
