A song for someone who dyes their hair. No - thats not the case . This is about not forgetting where you are  from - don't be ashamed of it - you didn't choose it and it made you who you are - warts and all.

Finally .. we're out of the rented house we've been living in for the last 2 years 11 months and 13 days (whose counting) ... and into another rented house ! Barring a total redecoration request from the very very reasonable landlord we may eve...

The Trump 2.0 experiment is really interesting, as long as it doesn't become totally disastrous. One mans vision of how to run the world ... haven't we seen that somewhere before less than 100 years ago ?

The person who can tell that tale - get all the significant bits in it and tell it well. I'm sure it doesn't always have to be 100% accurate - but hey who cares - especially these days...

Prelude, Allemande, Sarabande and Minuet 1 & 11 from this beautiful suite for baroque guitar.

The anticipation of anything seems to slow down time to almost a snails pace. We're moving house and the delightful landlord has requested a re-decorate of 1/2 the house. ( to be honest I was expecting much worse - so I feel I've got away light...

Part of the dementia thing ( and you can see already that I know very little) is that distant memories can become very clear and accurate whilst you can't recall what went on 10 minutes ago. I think I'd enjoy that - I have a feeling I had a ver...

...as opposed to talking that talk - Good on yer Mr Zelensky . I was appalled at the staged onslaught by Mr Trump and the lovely (?) J.D Vance on television the other night. What other deals is Trumpy stitching up with Mr Putin?

No thanks - I do hope an immortality pill is not on the way. It's a great life - but my god it needs to be finite otherwise what's the point ? 

After a few years of living in towns we've moved out to a rural village - where the rich are very rich and the poor are very poor..... We're certainly not in the first category.

The choice is yours, go your own way you have free will - oh goodness is that what it takes ?

This is more about muddy country walks than off-road vehicles. A wet countryside in the early spring - wellies, overcoats, and wet smelly dogs. Love it.

As I understand it - what you got going for you is worth far more than possible promises.

Taking a chance, leaving yourself open to the luck of the draw - give it a go sometime.

Another posh kid on a lute - he was quite good this one and his music quite accessible to us mortals .Here's the wiki bit...Jan Antonín Losy, Count of Losinthal (German: Johann Anton Losy von Losinthal); also known...

Moving house - never a pleasant experience - but usually quite positive once its all done and dusted . We seem to keep on moving the same old junk, storing it up and then ...,moving it again 

There's nothing like an upheaval in politics to start realising how we each view the world through our own lens.I can't see the good in the rise of right wing politics. There are many who can.

We've been renting various small houses since our return from Spain. The landlord - tenant relationship is not a pleasant one. In the UK it is very heavily skewed towards the landlord.We've found a slightly bigger place and negotiated a ...

When the powers that be don't want to commit themselves to anything they're not comfortable with...

Every action has a reaction - Newtons third law ( of course ) -Actually I had to look that up. Science was sadly never my strong point and yet there are so many fascinating areas of study. Todays bit of info - for what its worth. It seems so re...

I think the often bandied about phrase is there is no  "  I "  in team - but this is better - and of course wrong.

Finally - light at the end of the tunnel . An upbeat tune to try and convey it 

They are coming through - Spring is on its way. Snow drops have been around for a while but now we've got crocuses and the beginnings of daffodils...

The song of the piece - 

That last 1,000 episodes were undertaken in an attempt to keep me interested and doing something. Sometimes I despair of the lack of originality and quality and then occasionally I surprise myself - the odd episode is OK - and I can listen back...
