  • I’ve started so I’ll finish

    Remember the MasterMind board game with the little coloured pegs? Online version.

  • WordPress problem?

    Hmm. For some reason, WordPress seems to have stopped notifying me when new comments are posted here. I’ve checked all the admin settings, and it is all set to notify me at my usual address. I’ve also checked my spam settings to ensure that the emails are not being killed. Any ideas?

  • Warning! May waste your time

    Top Dog World War 1 game. I can see Lord Percy playing this all afternoon.

  • Ave

    Beware the Pies of March.

    Today, for the first time in my life, I made and baked a loaf of bread*. And very good it was too, even if I say so myself.

    * Actually, what I did was to measure out some ingredients and put them in our shiny new bread maker. I then switched it on. Five hours later I went back and there was a loaf there. This is exactly the style of bread making that I can cope with.

    So, whilst I may not be at the bloggers’ party tonight, I can live up to one other blogging tradition – yes, at long last, a post about kittens! I just know that this is going to make Vaughan jealous.
    This week, we went down to the RSPCA cat rehoming centre at Hastings and put our name down for these two "poor little fellas". They’re going to make it, Rolf.
    This one has been named Monty by us.
    Monty
    He’s completely mad, a total livewire. He’s bound to wreck the place.

    This one has yet to be given a name.
    no name yet
    She’s much more quiet and retiring, in marked contrast to Monty. We reckon that, once we have her here, a name will come to us.

    The RSPCA will send out a visitor to check that we’re ok to own cats, but since we’ve already passed the test with another animal rehoming charity within the last week, we’re confident that it will just be a formality. In fact, we’re so confident that we went out and purchased kitten food, a litter tray, litter, a new cat flap (now fitted), a scratching post, a basket, a carrier and assorted toys today.
    This is going to be fun.

  • Bum hats

    It looks like I won’t be able to get to tomorrow’s bloggers’ party after all. H is ill, with the consequence that she won’t be able to come along and drive me back from the railway station (12 miles away). The alternative, a late-night taxi, doesn’t bear consideration. Bah!

  • Socket set

    I was disappointed by this article. I was hoping that the monkeys might be trained to repair my car more cheaply than the staff at the local garage. Mind you, they could already be trained monkeys anyway, by the look of them.

  • Silly game

    Speedy Santa – almost certainly easier with a mouse than with a touchpad.
