Marina Geese

posted by

I’ve learned a lot about geese in the last year. They’re good parents, they’re fiercely protective but oist of all they’re foul, potty mouthed birds. When not crying ‘murder’ every five seconds during gosling season, the marina geese aren’t afraid to hold fire. Yesterday, when Sir Sid and Lady Vicious paraded the cygnets – allowing […]

posted by

Leave the hamlet of A Little Bit Tired and walk slowly till you reach the village of Tired. If the dog is available (and not called Tim Johnson) scratch ears and limp on towards the small town of Knackered. Take rooms in the I’ll Be As Right As Rain Inn. In the morning head to […]

I will admit its been a struggle to find something to write about in the last week or so. Where could I go after Google and the banana bread? I couldn’t, could I? I threw myself into my writing. Got my Bluetooth headphones to work and listened to “Shady Solicitor” just one more time – […]

The unbearable Slowness of Sunday

posted by

Is the word for today. The Internet, computer, brain; all fail to meet expectation. My spyware scan is the worst. That’s beyond slow. Bordering on painful. Not even at the half way mark. A marathon walker would be quicker. Not sure how long it’s going to take. Still, what else is there to do? I […]
