Mother’s Day. A commercialisation I fear we have imported from our American friends. Anyway, what’s wrong with telling our mother, once a year,. how wonderful she is with, I hope, a strong degree of sincerity. (Indeed, I am told by one or two of my friends that I should be telling my wife how wonderful […]

Another weekend. Most of today will be devoted to watching the final of the World Series Cricket between India and Sri Lanka. (Thank goodness, I hear some of my readers say. Seven weeks, I agree, is a long time for such a series. However, be warned the cricket season starts at Lord’s with the first […]

Even the respected BBC in a programme called Panorama in 1957 played, what has become one of the most famous hoaxes of April Fools’ Day. It concerned, what they described as the spaghetti harvest.

National Census Day. The National Census has been carried out every decade for over 200 years but this one apparently is the last. As it’s costing in the region of half a billion pounds and takes five years to fully analyse, I suppose the government have decided that there are more cost-effective ways of obtaining […]

|Another uncomfortable night. At three o’clock this morning I had another 10 min struggle trying to turn over. It is a very unpleasant feeling to be stuck and too weak to turn. Maybe when we get a satin top sheet. It will get a little easier. I seem to be dreaming quite a lot these […]
