There is something quite amazing about an aeroplane. The way it can turn seemingly clever people into unthinking mass of cats in need of herding. Last time we were held up by weather. Stairrods of rain to be precise. It led to a 90 minute delay and a woman who had no idea she couldn’t […]

Windows decided to update earlier in the week. I now cannot access the internet from my computer. Livid is not the word for my reaction to this. Widowhood of Spiders is on the cloud. I can get to that from other devices but I prefer to type on the Pc. Less chance of erroneous full […]

Strangely the overcast sky was condusive to both activities. I didn’t want to venture out, in case it rained; and I kept a more vigilant […]
