Elephant jokes.

What time is it when an elephant sits on your fence? Time to get a new fence! How do you know there’s an elephant in your fridge? Footprints in the butter! Why did the elephant paint the soles of her feet yellow? So she could hide, upside down, in custard! What’s grey, has four legsContinue reading “Elephant jokes.”

Lighter nights – a poem.

World turns. Sun burns. Night comes. But later. Day starts. Light bright. Longer now. Night is late. Spring comes. Nature wakes. Blossom soon. Lighter nights.

Lighter nights.

I saw this tree on my walk today. It appears to be dead but I expect it is teaming with insects, bugs and creepy-crawlies. Judging by the damage to the bark I think the birds have been enjoying the bounty. I’m tempted to buy some grass and flower seeds to spread on the verge ofContinue reading “Lighter nights.”

When the going gets going.

Some good news with regards to work. I’ve asked a few people about their experiences under Covid and it is mostly positive. It looks like the vast majority of people are being sensible. I’m doing a deep clean at home and my daughter has accused me of malicious vacuuming at an ungodly hour. I pointedContinue reading “When the going gets going.”

10 things to do before bedtime?

I’ve been looking at other blogs and Pinterest sites and the “10 things” post is annoyingly common. It would seem 11 is too many and 9 is not enough. I wonder what would happen if the author said “actually I only need 7 things to knock this out of the park” or even said “10?Continue reading “10 things to do before bedtime?”

Relax

Had a chilled out Sunday. Did very little and finished with a trip to the Macdonald’s drive thru and a bottle of wine. Now to watch News of the World with Tom Hanks.

You must live like animals!

As part of my plan to combat my increasing withdrawal and depression I’m putting together a list of jobs to do around the house. I’m hoping that getting in to a routine and achieving something every day will help. Having a look on Pinterest to get a little help with ideas was an eye opener!Continue reading “You must live like animals!”

A problem with pellets.

I was loading pellets into an Umarex .177 magazine when I noticed that some of them are filled with lead and some aren’t. These are all from the same tin. This means they are different weights and will have different flight characteristics. Another tin of pellets has different sizes of head in the tin. SomeContinue reading “A problem with pellets.”

So tired …

Had a bad few nights. I’ve not been sleeping properly and I’m convinced I have sleep apnea. Not to mention that yesterday I went for a walk with my kids and whilst I was waiting for them to explore and rush about I got cold and my arthritis started to ache. I fell asleep onContinue reading “So tired …”
