Sunday’s Wrap: food & drink normality

Sunday’s Wraps haven’t been too regular according to the list of published posts, I see. I can’t recall why recent ones have been missed. Maybe this in itself is a symptom of something. I’m not concerned; it’s okay not to be hooked on this kind of thing. Food & drink normality nice graphic art too…

That Midweek Feeling: offline

Internet down There was no Sunday Wrap last weekend owing to our loss of internet. On Friday afternoon, we decided to sow some packets of wild flower seeds amongst the wild area of front lawn we leave for nature. This required removing a section of turf. Removing turf is something I learnt in Boy Scouts.…

That Midweek Feeling: silent ghosts

It’s a late post this week... ...and I hadn’t done a Sunday Wrap last Sunday either, I see. Did nothing happen? Or is my motivation unconsciously preparing for post-Covid? Time is precious. And finite. Ghosts of blogs past Noooooooooo !! A couple of months ago, I received an email, seemingly from Google HQ, informing me…

That Midweek Feeling: what is & what was

Pop ups are back in vogue could it be nigel farage? I had a bit of a scare just then. It appears the app has been updated and looks a little different. In place of the list of blogs I’ve created and can access, there’s just the blog title of the one I’m using, under…

Sunday’s Wrap: anarchy go go go

Waiting on green I don’t know about you but I’m ready for the green light and I’m off, hoping not to look back. I don’t know if I’m even interested in reading any post-covid analysis now as I once was. It’s been a tough year and I’ve done my bit, played by the rules, despite…

That Midweek Feeling: Four seasons

Weather: the thwarter of plans We had all four seasons in a day yesterday, and this morning there’s a light covering of snow on the roofs of houses and cars, and all over the lawn. It puts the kibosh on the second cut with the mower. Fortunately, I got in a run before the weather…

Sunday’s Wrap: small jobs around the place

One man went to mow Is it over, or only just begun? Good Friday. Had the lawn mower out for the first time this year. It’s a tense moment: will it start or won’t it? It took a fair number of pulls to get it spluttering away; then it died of its own accord. A…

That Midweek Feeling: shopping (and all that)

So, I got a new phone... mini, micro, nano: spot the difference I compromised and shopped on price alone; although I went for a Samsung having been impressed by their gadgets. I set a ballpark maximum figure of £250 - that’s about all a phone is worth to me - and settled on one for…

Sunday’s Wrap: a timetable for life

Discipline! Double Bike Ride (Room: Outside) I’m suddenly profoundly shocked at the rate the days seem to be passing lately. It’s probably a combination of age, not being in formal employment and these blessed Covid lockdowns! I am without much discipline in everyday life and quite lazy to boot. For a long while now, I…

That Midweek Feeling: the consumerist

Rugeley calling... Wish you were here? Rugeley is an industrial and market town in Cannock Chase District in Staffordshire, England. It lies on the north-eastern edge of Cannock Chase next to the River Trent, 7.9 miles north of Lichfield... (Wikipedia). It sounds quite nice, doesn’t it? It’s a town which has an Argos Catalogue Showroom.…
