My only point of note in the pub last night was the observation that the recent bad weather we have been suffering in England is God’s revenge. The storms were sent to blow all of those stupid bloody plastic flags off the cars in this country. And it’s a job well done I think.

The Lights Go Dim
The normally pedestrian level of activity on this weblog will be reduced even further over the next week or so. We are off on holiday. The Todd family, along with the Lewis’ and the Perrys of Reading are off to Devon for a week of rest (?) and recuperation. I suspect I’ll need a holiday …
Left Handers Day
Remember kids, it’s just over a month until this year’s Official Left Handers Day. As JFGP is looking more like a leftie every day this should be a big day in the Todd household. All we need is a suitable celebration.
Nothing Doing
JFGP and I have just returned from a couple of days visiting his grandparents. Later today we are off to Perry mansions where he will be deposited for the whole of tomorrow whilst SWMBO and I spend the day at Henley. Pimms ahoy!
More Babies
News reaches us from down under of a new addition to the Whiston family of Harbord. Congratulations Gary, Fiona and Georgia. Born on the 18th of June and tipping the scales at 4.05 kilos, say hello to "Supermarket" Whiston.
Barcelona Photos
On instructions from SWMBO I present yet another photo of JFGP pictured here in our hotel room in Barcelona. Cue isn’t he cute/lovely etc comments. More importantly, what it doesn’t mention on that Trip Advisor link that I posted above is that this hotel has a unique feature. The in room mini bar is free. …
Futebol

Mind you, sharing a hotel room with JFGP does limit one’s evening adventures somewhat. We were reduced to watching Spanish television (and CNN naturally). Unless we wanted to watch third rate Bruce …
Making the Most of a Bad Lot
A final mention, for now, of UK politics. Last week in addition to the Mayoral election there was a Europe wide poll for the European Parliament. As I may have mentioned before, Scaryduck wrote a tremendous piece on narrow minded people. Unsurprisingly he chose the Cornish. In turn it wasn’t a great surprise that the …
Drive It Like It’s Stolen
A thoroughly enjoyable day today with the 70’s Throwback at the Bill Gwynne Rally School. We were driving Mark II Escorts around their gravel stage, practising the art of travelling both sideways and forwards at the same time. We also managed rather a lot of handbrake turns as well. Which was nice. When I grow …
Its a Blogging Miracle
SWMBO has updated her blog. Possibly the least regularly updated web site ever, there have been a mere fifteen months between posts. Worrying though, are the adverts that appear on the page. These are Google Ads which are targeted by addressing subjects that are mentioned on the page itself. When I viewed Bobo’s Babblings the …
