What exactly is the Life of Riley ?
There are two probable origins, one comes from the poems of James Whitcomb Riley which were all based on an easy prosperous life. The other is from Irish origin and the prosperous Reilly Clan who even had their own money.
Whatever it is your host, humbly, feels he is indeed living the life of Riley

The weather always gives me a lift and basking in glorious sun brings back to mind the Hot and Not lists

Catching the Rays

Being Out in the Sun
I’m spending as many hours as possible out and about in the glorious sunshine - a real tonic

Photography
I’m really getting the bug now, it’s thanks to my brother and is becoming an ever greater interest

PHD Synergy
Powdered rocket fuel - awesome stuff - how did I live without it ?

New Sunglasses
New Ray Ban aviator style sunglasses, stylish and a tonic to the eyes in the sun

My New Signature Couscous Dish
I kind of ripped it off my brother but he probably ripped it off Ainsley Harriot
Served cold it’s bloody delicious, low in fact high in protein and sky-high in taste !

Catching Swine Flu

Dodgy Seeds
Several plantings in the Kitchen Garden have failed to germinate at all

Chick Shorts
I like them but they have been independently described by a local hottie as “obscene”

The #45 Bus to Immingham
It ran me off the road and my cycling trip to Newsham Abbey

Finding Walking Boots
I’m on the look out for new top quality hiking boots but as ever finding quality footwear round here is hopeless

Things are really rather pleasant here in the Great Coates locale and Long May it Continue as the real Mr Collins says !

I hope all who read this are finding pleasure wherever and whenever you can
Life’s short - don’t waste a day

Sun Worshipfully Yours
