The plane I ought to have already boarded is not here in Manchester where I need it to be - it’s just arrived in Hamburg and there’s nothing I can do about it. I could shout, I could squeal, but the plane still has to get from...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville Flying was so nice when it was just for monied people and missionaries! Now they let anybody on and it has become so common.

Last night I dreamed myself to be hospitalised. I don’t know from which ailment I was suffering, but someone mentioned inguinal hernia so I went with that. The doctor told the nurse to give me an injection of chloromycetin which...

I mentioned in a comment that our friend brought a beef and Guinness pie for us to eat and someone asked what it was. Pies are something I take very much for granted so I wasn’t sure what I needed to explain. Maybe it’s like an...

I went shopping down town again this morning. I didn't really need to go in many shops today. I set off at about 10:45am, and I walked round the top path round Stowe Pool as usual. Then I went to the toilet by the Cathedral. I...

Fiacre Banks @sharonelton backpack got thrown up - the gunge was all through the works of the zippers, and I brought the coat back but it stinks and I was embarrassed taking it on the plane. Back home an hour ago.

The photo shows an eggplant that we picked this morning from the house-sit vegetable garden. We’ve had a lot of roma tomatoes off the bushes but this is the first eggplant, which are also known as augergines. They are a member of...

Fiacre Banks @judyev Aubergines are magnificent. I use them a lot in cooking and I wish I could grow my own.

I tend to be an early riser, usually getting up around 5am or 530am, and rarely sleep in. I like to have the whole day ahead of me. It wasn't always this way for me. In my younger years I was a night owl, and long preferred second...

Fiacre Banks @porwest I scared 2 burglars one night when I went downstairs totally unclad to get a glass of water. We just stood and gawked at each other for what seemed like a very long time before they ran. Only when they were gone did I register that I was standing...

I am so cross - this afternoon a pigeon in Manchester jettisoned a great, mucky dollop of green, sticky poop onto my backpack as I wondered blissfully around Fletcher Moss Park. I can’t tell you how angry I am, and the stuff just...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville Things just seem to happen to me wherever I go. Hope your cruise is blissfully calm - watch out for low-flying seagulls. I also got hugged by a lesbian in a restaurant yesterday but I vaguely know her.

Fiacre Banks @paigea Maybe the pigeon poop was punishment for masquerading as a choral lesbian. Nothing lucky about it.

Fiacre Banks @sharonelton I walked around Fletcher Moss park in Manchester then went to Sainsbury’s where I discovered that a pigeon had pooed on my backpack. Very yucky and lots of it.

I wrote about going to the op (thrift) shop and buying a new-to-me jigsaw. I also picked up this pair of Crocs. I have crocs at home but they’re black and don’t have holes so my feet get quite sweaty in them. I don’t really need...

Fiacre Banks @noni1959 Pilots always seem to be trying to sound seductive when they make about wind speed etc. I’d rather they just shut up and keep their eye on the road ahead.

Fiacre Banks @judyev you would think like in most marriages his wife would stop him saying stupid things. Wives are great filters.
