Many years ago, when I was still driving, I was creeping along in slow moving traffic just by Carshalton Ponds, near where I lived at the time. The traffic in the other direction was just about at a standstill. About fifty yards ahead of me, in the oncoming traffic queue, I could make out the […]

Mr Porsche Driver Man
December 17, 2012Ripples
December 10, 2012At the end of a particularly fun day’s work a few weeks back, I was saying goodnight to the security guard in the reception where the course had taken place. My cheeky chappy self was very much in evidence and we had a playful, jokey exchange. As I left the building, I spotted him through […]
Mr Angry and the French lemon
October 29, 2012It’s been one thing after another with our car. The latest occurred last week when the rear screen was smashed at around tea time on Monday evening. On looking at the car the police thought the damage was more than just a broken window as part of the tailgate had sprung up – making it […]
56 summers
July 16, 2012Chugging along the Thames last week on a riverboat courtesy of my ol’ buddies at Hartley Stone, I was pondering the summer we’re not having.

However, an all too common experience has been that of the hermetically sealed, air conditioned training room, often with no natural light […]
What a relief
April 16, 2012I had something of a scare this week. I discovered that the vision in my left eye had suddenly gone blurry and virtually non-existant. Now, when you have restricted vision anyway, any further impediment is no laughing matter. That evening, I hot-footed it to Moorfields Accident & Emergency, who had a look and suggested I […]
Feeling good? That’s a start……
April 9, 2012“Feeling good was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee” (Words from the song, Me and Bobby McGee by Kris Kristofferson & Fred Foster.) Given the fact that this week’s blog post comes out on Easter Monday, I guess it’s only right to wish you and yours a Happy Easter. So, […]
Birthdays, tree rings and pretend guitars
January 23, 2012I celebrated my birthday this weekend and, as of Saturday I am now 56 years old. However, I’ve recently come to think of the age I am in different terms. When asked how old I am, I feel tempted to declare that I am “every age up to 56”. The obvious reason for this would […]
