Bad Lockdown Hair Day
You kind of know from the moment you wake up that you are going to have a bad hair day. After a fitful night. Hot, cold. Cold Hot. I am woken at dawn by the deep-throated moan of a Burmese cat.

Dreams
10.00 a.m. breakfast with my agent at Bumpkins Beach Bar, Antigua to discuss the opportunity for a sequel, to novel number 6 and the film rights for my autobiographical romp … My Overactive Imagination.
Lockdown – Week 8
Being in Lockdown changes you. The way you think and feel as well as making you do strange things. Week 8 got off to an unfortunate start when I accidentally sprayed the sunflower seedlings with an anti-bacterial spray instead of water. It wasn’t the brightest thing to do. I am glad to say they are …
Morning Muse – Soggy Sunday
About as lyrical as I can wax on this soggy Sunday is… wet and grey. Unlike Freaky Friday, when the pink and orange hues of the sunrise, spread hopefulness and inspiration over a darkened world.

The Editing Process
Up with the lark and fuelled with the belief that the early editor catches the idioms, the cliches, and the typos.
It Goes Without Saying
I still survive on precious little sleep, but sleeping like a log or a baby is only in my dreams.

“You see, sometimes in life, the best thing for all that ails you has fur and four legs.” ― Mark J. Asher, All That Ails You: The Adventures of a Canine Caregiver I am leaving this wonderful climate tomorrow … with a heavy heart. I am fully recovered from the lurgy I arrived with but …
HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYBODY!
A little Friday cheer from Cassie the Blog Dog … click on the link below to watch her video.
Aspiring Artist … Charlotte McNulty
There is much maturity in Charlotte’s art that it is hard to believe that she is currently wading through her GCSEs. I believe this is a rare talent for one so young. She has really captured the essence of our beautiful Cassie the Blog Dog, but her portraiture of people as well as animals are …
Carpe Diem – New Year’s Resolution to Start Blogging Again
Cassie The Blog Dog and I have just been for a walk. Cassie to burn off some her exuberant joie de vivre and me to burn off the calories and the after effects of last night’s plummy little Merlot. The sun was out, albeit a watery glow in the sky. I walked and she tore through the fields like a gazelle about to go into orbit. She is a joy to watch and I wish I had an nth of her va va voom.
HAGW! Ingredients for a good one!
Have a great weekend and as Patsy Stone would say … “Keep it classy darlings”.

Blogger’s Log Stardate 5/2/16
Edit, edit, edit. Delete, delete, delete. I do wonder why I spend so many hours writing, writing, writing when I delete so much of it and rewrite. Perish the thought that I may have fallen into the category of windbag. Today I have lost count of how many cups of coffee I have drunk. This …
Blogger’s Log – Stardate 29/01/16
Not a good night. I could have slept all the way through, but Cassie the Blog Dog got me up twice. Too much water before bedtime, bought on by finding an unsupervised packet of cheesy bites and scoffing the lot. Having finally got back to sleep, I then woke up early. Sod’s Law. Cassie however …

Hello everyone. Tessa has just told me off because I have not blogged for some time. I am sorry about that, but I have had so much on during the summer. Well, if you can call it summer. In and out of the showers I have been running around with my friends Archie and Poppy which has …

GOW WAXING LYRICAL – My Place in the Sun
“Welcome to Faro”. The Easy Jet Steward announced on arrival last Thursday. “Please make sure you take all items of hand luggage with you, as well as all your children”. Apparently last week when that particular crew arrived at Faro, someone left their child on board. I had battled to mow the lawn before leaving last …
