A bridge too far
I’m far too forgiving ever to seek retribution, and I’m certain that if you lined up a hundred of my friends and questioned them under caution, they’d all agree. After all, to err is human, to forgive

Ask me no questions
Sometimes I have nightmares that I’m still an employer. Then I wake up and thank Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and all the saints that I’ve retired from that game. It’s not that I disliked employing people, it’s

Against the law.
Anyone who has ever read my blog —and believe it or not, some do—will already know that I regard government as the root of all evil and reserve the right to ignore all rules other than those my conscience

Crash Bang Wallop
From a very young age, I knew there was something wrong with everyone else, but even so, I was still shocked by people’s behaviour during the whole Covid madness, and I haven’t had much faith in humanity

Whodunnit?
Would I rather be an emergency doctor, a zookeeper, or a police crime scene investigator? That's an easy one! Having cared for my father with dementia for four long years, I would choose the occupation

Outlaw.
Would I accept a job I knew to be criminal if the money were good enough? Absolutely. Illegality in itself, would not deter me. I would, however, need to be reasonably certain that I wouldn’t be caught.

Blessed are the meek.
I’ve never had a problem with ego. Mine is far too small to have ever impeded my progress, and being the very antithesis of an egotist has always worked in my favour. Humility endears one to others; bragging

Autonomy
If I had to change one thing about myself, it would be my overly good nature. I am far too kind and generous for my own good. It is to this unfortunate trait that I attribute my failure to amass a vast

No particular place to go
I went on a road trip once — and never did again. It was the early ’90s. I had a new beau. He had a new motorbike, a beautiful red Honda Shadow. “We’ll go on a road trip,” he said, “through Britain and

Don't stand so close to me.
I always judge a book by its cover. Apart from the blurb on the back, it’s how I choose in a bookshop. I’m much the same with people. I can usually tell at a glance how tedious or otherwise someone is

Wasted
Alas, this weekend I was engaged in a spot of Bunburying and thus unable to join the weekend-experience proceedings. Rather than deny my regular readers their weekly glimpse into the mind of a self-declared

I can’t say I have more than a passing acquaintance with failure. If I have ever failed at anything, I can’t recall it, though these days I must confess that I remember very little and understand even

Well my dear gardening chums, this is my sixth growing season and let me tell you, I’ve learned a few things in the past five years. Chicken defences have been strengthened considerably, all pallets have

Just right
If I were told I had 300 minutes left to live, what would I do with them? Why, I’d get a second opinion, of course. I’ve never been one to believe anything I’m told without question. You’ve all heard the

Strife.
Since I arrived back last week from my sojourn under bluer skies, a dearth of compost has been thwarting my horticultural endeavours. Thus, this morning I had a pallet of thirty six, twenty five kilo bags

Being real.
As my merry band of avid readers will know, I have no dirty little secrets; in fact, I have few secrets of any kind. My life is an open book. I say what I mean, I mean what I say, and I always do what

This perfect world.
What have I worked hard for and finally achieved? I would say brilliance, but modesty forbids, so instead I will claim contentedness. I am satisfied with what I have; I neither want nor need anything more,

Bookworm
When the Sony Walkman arrived in the early 80s, it felt like a miracle. Walking to work with The Smiths or Big Country in my ears was heaven on earth, and the perfect preparation for the fray that awaited

I remember the early 1980s, when I started my first business and was interviewing for a messenger boy, one little lad, Patrick his name was, begged me “Please, missus, please giz the job. I’m from the

A friend indeed.
As my legions of regular readers will know, I’m not one to boast, but when it comes to friendship, I must admit I am the Rolls-Royce of friends. Fiercely loyal, utterly dependable, and if I ever lie to
