It would revolve, but not on its own axis. That may or may not be a good thing.
All is well now, I have a boiler that works, and a leak in a radiator fixed.
We would never know how good life can be without the little trials and tribulations that beset us to remind us.

Bullying on the internet is such a terrible problem isn’t it. But so is lying on the internet. I wonder if the Government will bring in an initiative to prevent compulsive liars from having access to the internet.

Lies and Deception by The Stranglers
The words
Came down the line
Just a few words
At a time
The meaning
It was Clear
There was no sign of fear
The scene
That they described
Were sad
You could have cried
The journey’s
Just too long
To even
Take the rideIt’s always
The same
It’s always
In vain

Go, Soul, the body’s guest,
Upon a thankless errand;
Fear not to touch the best;
The truth shall be thy warrant:
Go, since I needs must die,
And give the world the lie.
Say to the court, it glows
And shines like rotten wood;
Say to the church, it shows
What’s good, and doth no good:
If church and court reply,
Then give them both the lie.Tell…[Read more]

Ok, so when did those particular kind of dolls get linked with the Klu Klux Klan? That little bit of history escaped me.
The doll is just that, a doll that was popular 100 years ago. It is the way people more recently abbreviated the name of it that has become offensive and an insult.
And… yes please, lashings of ginger beer to go with my…[Read more]

Its strange how times change isn’t it. Debussy wrote it in the early 1900’s for children. It was in the Associated Board exams until relatively recently.
I guess it was dropped around the same time Enid Blyton was re-written to make it politically correct.
Its a good tune though!
P.S. The sheet has heeet the fan :)

Yes.. what was it with last week….. ah well, its done with now, not completely over in the work sense as got to get through till thursday without misshap, but broken the back of the worst of it all.
I am going to scatter petals, and wade through leaves, and if I come across a tree I fancy, I might hug it.
