life before mr parrot

Before l had Mr Parrot bugging me for attention (he's currently sitting on my chest), l used to be hounded by these two, plus another cat. All wanting attention just as much (but l loved them!). Sadly all dead now.

lp collection fence

This is an ingenious idea, and l'd like it on my garden fences, but I'd imagine it was very time consuming and expensive, so it's very unlikely to happen. A fence painted to look like an LP collection.

my brain after the football

My brain today trying to take in and make sense of the Manchester United v Liverpool FA Cup Quarter final game earlier today.  What a game it was, and more importantly, what a great 4-3 win for United!

Bring on Coventry!!

the olden english money

 This seems like a lifetime ago, and l can hardly remember using them now, especially the pound note. It's amazing how quickly you can adapt to a completely new way of paying.

gogglebox shows how my home might end up

I was watching Gogglebox this evening, and they showed a home that was a bit of a mess (to say the least) and was then de-cluttered.  It looked suspiciously like what mine will end up like if l'm not careful (before the de-cluttering). However, in my favour, not even l could live like that.

things to make you feel old part 7685957675856 - Richard Vernon

It's the loveable moptops in 'A Hard Day's Night' with an elderly pompous city gent, played by Richard Vernon. The Beatles stood for youth and a new way of living, and not taking stick from your supposed elders and betters.  Reader, Richard Vernon was 39 at the time.
