Up and Over Down and Out

A return to the once weekly now somewhat sporadic best and the worst of it.
A lot of people seem to like this so I should do it more often. One of the problems is many of the things are repetitive so …

The David Cameron’s

  • Bookselling - I may even come out of retirement !
    1. Despite making no effort books seem to be selling
  • Dragonforce - strangely good band
    1. I checked them out for the guitar players, music a bit flowery but Through the Fire and Flames grows on you
  • Peace and quiet
    1. The joys of not being disturbed
  • Paul Gilbert DVDs
    1. I must stop watching them or go blind !
  • The war memoirs by Spike Milligan
    1. Just finished the complete run - outstanding !

    The Gordon Brown’s

  • Roadworks on the M1
    1. Signs say delays probable for 26 weeks ! That’s half a year. The Romans built road by hand from scratch in less time
  • Leaving Lincolnshire for the day
    1. Very traumatic and not to be undertaken again in the near future
  • Caterpillars
    1. Another attack, thankfully caught early, on my sprouting broccoli
  • The price of petrol
    1. £60 to fill the tank :shock:
  • Being unable to find DVDs to buy
    1. Crisis on the Goldeneye viewing stakes !

    That’s me - what about you ?

    [PS - edit]
    Late entry, inspired by my brother’s blog, address on plate - check it out

    Roast Beef a la ‘Little Brother’ - awesome !

      Rod,

      Your resume of current events looks in print like the life of a sad person … DVDs, caterpillars, not going out much and the cost of fuel? Where’s the panache? Get yourself a hobby that includes making something creative other than de-bugging your vegetables. Wonder what Paul Gilberts average month contains?

      LB’s list in comparison looks like life in the fast lane …

      WoE
