Should I stay or should I go?
I’ve never been much of a planner. I tend to blow with the prevailing wind. If you’d told me six years ago that within months I’d be living off the fat of the land in the countryside, I would have called

Doggy Tales and other stories
From left to right: Belly, Spartacus, Devil Dog and Piggy Cats make my skin crawl. I can’t be doing with them at all and a litter box in the house is not for this germaphobe, Sure I won’t even have a house

Fit for a king!
For much of my life, I've been a reluctant eater with little interest in food. Little or no cooking was done in the family home when I was growing up and boiled eggs and porridge were the limits of my

Who's the fairest of them all?
20th century gig advert Would I seek or have I sought to get ahead to the detriment of someone else? Why of course not! That would make me a thoroughly despicable person and anyone who knows me, if I paid

Over my dead body!
"Sick or not sick, everyone works today," my father would say, quoting James Cagney in the movie One, Two, Three, if we kids attempted to feign illness. And unless my memory fails me, we were

Better Times (LOH Contest number 228)
"It’s a Wonderful Life" is set in the 1940s when men were men, women were ladies and they dressed accordingly. You might consider clothes a trivial thing but I believe that what we wear affects

Truth will out.
Would you give away this adorable baby? When I was a few months old, while my father was away in England, my (unmarried) mother put me up for adoption. As the story goes, I was in the process of being

An open mind
My mind is like my fridge. Everything is properly compartmentalised and tidily arranged in neat little lines. There’s very little in the fear compartment, I’m pretty fearless. Well, naturally, I’m afraid

Shabby Chic (Contest number 226)
How do I dress stylishly and ethically without breaking my budget? By wearing other people’s clothes, of course! I have two wardrobes, one for slobbing around the homestead planting plants and mucking

Cool as a cucumber!
I am delighted to have this opportunity to show you the contents of my fridge since it allows me to virtue signal and showcase my minimalism, which is all the rage these days. It is my small contribution

Congeniality
I’ve met a fair few ignorant assholes in my time, but then I did spend some years in the legal profession. My definition of an ignorant asshole? That’s the blighter who places his bag on the seat beside

Perfectly executed
I reckon I’d make a fine government executioner. I’d happily execute any and every government without guilt or remorse and in such a way as to discourage others of their ilk. If I heard even a whisper

Success story

Why is it that men never read instructions ? They open the box throw aside the instruction leaflet and off they go. We rarely leave the compound and since it's been at least 2 weeks since any of us has

Highs and lows
When you’re a geriatric retiree such as myself, weekends are much like any other day. I can’t remember the last time I did anything even a little crazy or wild. It was likely back in my rockstar years
