Having a bash at haiku.

I was having a look at http://skepticskaddish.com and he mentioned haiku. I didn’t really know what that was. I mean, yes, I had heard of it but I wasn’t sure what qualities a haiku needed. So I looked it up on the internet and here is my attempt at haiku. How to write HaikuInternet willContinue reading “Having a bash at haiku.”

At the risk of appearing rude – a poem

I have been a fan of Spike Milligan, poet, actor, writer, Goon, since I was around 8 years old. I had received his book “The Little Pot Boiler” as a gift and it was my first experience of true nonsense poetry written by a master of nonsense. When I finally came across his poem “Abc”Continue reading “At the risk of appearing rude – a poem”

I’ve shared “A Glimpse of Yosemite” below.

I’ve shared a follower’s blog below. I’ve shared the post A Glimpse of Yosemite as it has some very nice photos of Yosemite national park in America. The blogger has other posts and photos of hikes they have done and I’ve enjoyed living vicariously through their posts. Go check them out.

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.

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.”

CO2 .177 Legend S25 Revolver Air Pistol.

When I first saw that Umarex made this pistol I instantly put it on my wishlist. It reminded me of the cop shows from the 1970’s. Shows like Kojak, The Streets of San Francisco and Starskey and Hutch. Every cop had a revolver – even Dirty Harry. The Legend S25 comes with 6 shells thatContinue reading “CO2 .177 Legend S25 Revolver Air Pistol.”

Pellet selection.

I’ve had the HW75 for about 6 months now. The person I bought it from said they used JSB Exact pellets, a good quality pellet and the one I use in both of my PCP rifles. I was pleased with the performance of the pistol but often got a “flyer”, a shot that didn’t goContinue reading “Pellet selection.”

Today was a good day.

I had a good day today just getting some storage solutions put up in the garage. What pleased me was it was all wood and fixings that I repurposed. The wood was once part of a bunk bed from 15 years ago. That bed has been involved in many home projects over the years! IContinue reading “Today was a good day.”

I’ve managed to keep it up.

I was going to write a poem but my creative juices aren’t flowing. I’ll console myself with the thought that I have managed to keep to my shooting practice schedule. I had the multishot Walther CP99 out and was trying the speed shooting challenge. Unfortunately I couldn’t complete it successfully. I think I need aContinue reading “I’ve managed to keep it up.”
