I have been learning how to drive for the last 12 years. I have failed 4 practical driving tests. I have had 9 different driving instructors. I have taken and passed with 100% a theory test which expired after 2 years about 8 years ago. Now living in a country where public transport isn’t so [...]
The pile of clothes which were in the built in wardrobe now grace one half of our soon-to-be old bed. Ariel has obviously decided that she won’t let a pile of clothes keep her away from her half. Meanwhile, I have become very popular in my new bedroom. Sadly, there is no where to plug [...]
Please excuse me as I wipe away a tear whilst watching the closing ceremony of the Olympics. That is, a tear of joy and bemusement, rather than tears of sorrow. Currently, there are a couple of hundred Italians dressed as aviators, clowns and other actors dressed as royalty dancing along to the tune of YMCA. [...]
The decorating is progressing slowly since I am now incapacitated and pao is the only person working on it now. Poor pao. He looks tired. Before any work could commence today, we had what is becoming a weekly trip to the vet. Merlin was reversing himself through the catflap as fast as possible because Jasper [...]

And an old bus. And a lifeboat. And I found the yellow submarine. I don’t think the photos do justice to how [...]
pao is having to type today’s entry. As I have sustained an injury on my way to the fridge this evening which resulted in a large gash in my elbow, lots of blood and a trip to casualty for glueing (which did not work as it came apart and started bleeding again) and a tetanus [...]
Thank you all for your encouraging comments on my last post. I know that the next few months will prove very interesting. We will get through it even if I have to buy pao a ski mask to wear so that I’m certain I won’t poke his eye out or blind him inadvertantly. Here is [...]
Thank you all for your lovely comments about my London trip. As you may have gathered, I had a great time and it is a day that I will treasure for a long time. Not just because I have a huger stash than before but that I had a nice time with pao. pao now [...]
