passing on

I’ve had this blog open for, gosh, a few years. Since April 2006 actually. And now it’s time to move on.  Not to close, but to move on. It seems a little pointless keeping two blogs open, so as the other one is linked to my business, that is the one I shall keep open. […]

zero = no socks

This in the BBC news on the internet caught my eye Here Is zero an even number? According to husband, who understands numbers and other such things, zero is a number. I work it out as such. An even number is one that works K1, P1 rib out, or even K2, P2 rib out. But […]

new home?

Well our darling daughter has spent 24 hours away from home and seems to be settling in well. So far University living has been a 2am fire alarm, and hand washing socks, and finding novel ways to hang them up to dry involving pins and a notice board, and this evening a pub quiz with […]

Hillsborough

Twenty three years ago last April our family was helping our friends to move house. It was a busy, hectic, nut really enjoyable day, and at some point in the afternoon some one mentioned that there had been a crush at a football match. At the time we had no idea what had happened or […]
