Over the years I’ve built many flatpack items of furniture. My most favourite of which is the nine drawer chest I bought from Do-It-All that has moved with me three times and is still gracing my living room after twenty odd years. One place I moved in to had a…

Don’t kill trees
The other week I wrote about my next door neighbour feeding the rats. Well the birds, but round here you don’t because there are too many rats. Anyway she got her son in law to cut down the two small trees that she thought were harbouring the rats. The tree…

Waking the people
My heart aches for the family of Iryna. The fear and aloneness captured on her face as she is literally dying for all the world to see is absolutely heartbreaking. For Charlie Kirk’s wife and children left to pick up the pieces. For the vile world we live in. The…

I read the news and I despair, again. I have never seen a government so willfully determined to destroy the aspirations of so many people in order to maintain their basic ideologies. They are pulling the carpet out from under the very people that sustain this country. That create the…

Superwankers
Following on from my post the other night about the hiring of supercars in Keighley, I encountered one walking into town this very morning. It was a lovely shade of Tango orange. Close to the ground with doors that may have opened in a special way. It was a lovely…
