I get my news from FOX, MSM, and Lefty websites. I just read on a Lefty website that Trump's absurd pick for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, has stepped down. As you know, Gaetz stepped down from his position in Congress to try and...

Fiacre Banks @thehorse I get my news from the BBC and they concur so it must be approximating to the truth maybe. How careless to start losing people before taking office.

Some nights you just want to have something simple, filling, and still good to eat for dinner. So, we just decided to make ham and cheese sandwiches on toasted bread. I fried up some onions and sliced some tomato and we added...

Fiacre Banks @porwest “The main difference is the amount of vinegar used in french and dijon as English mustard has very little and is 10 times hotter.” Now we’ve both learned something useful today.

If we do get it, which it's forecasted at a 55% chance that we will, it'll be our first snow of the season. It won't stick or accumulate or anything, it'll just be small short snow showers as I understand it. It's currently 38F...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville We got some today. I had to do a grocery shop and remained vertical the entire time as I manoeuvred myself with great circumspection across the icy car park at the supermarket.

We went to the big Tesco again today. My Mum didn't know if she'd be up for coming but in the end she did and she sat on a bench again while he went round the shop. I got rid of the soft recycle and then we went up on the lift....

Fiacre Banks @sharonelton Snow’s worse now but not terrible. Went for lunch out but the Japanese place I wanted to go to was closed so ended up with a wrap which was alright but not my thing.

This week I am away in Wales, and overnight we got 5 inches of snow so given that I am at the end of a narrow stony track you can imagine I’m not going anywhere. I have some jobs to do, but many of them are outdoor jobs which are...

The present generation will never know what this is all about and the older generation would have wished such settings goodbye. To think that in the good old days some households had these kind of settings. Having a 12 course...

Fiacre Banks @allknowing I well remember all the palaver around proper etiquette when dining, with different types of cutlery for everything. Even afternoon tea was quite an occasion and very hard work. Still, there was an elegance to it.

Fiacre Banks @sharonelton I went to Lidl this morning. It was just as dismal as Asda although their fresh fruit and veg is fresher. Our snow arrives this evening but it was just a light skiff really. Probably be gone by tomorrow.

Isn’t English weird? The past of teach is taught, but the past of preach is preached, but not praught, as you might think it ought to be. And I just came across another linguistic oddity. The white powder descended from the sky...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville If I think I’ve said something incorrectly I feel so incomfartable. Once, in polite company, I passed a comment about an octopus’s testicles rather than his tentacles.

A lot of you are coffee or tea drinkers, and maybe some of you are both. How many of you just take your coffee black and your tea plain? Or, do you load these beverages down with a lot of add ins? I’m neither a coffee nor tea...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville I don’t envy you the long flying hours or the extreme pollution of Delhi’s air. Take a mask. I leave on December for Edinburgh then Manchester. Once I get back the planning for 2025 trips begins in earnest.

Fiacre Banks @judyev My bank manager is a teenage boy who has the temerity to first name me like I was his friend in the school playground. It’s his arrogant presumption and scruffy sort of a beard that send me into a tizz.

Fiacre Banks @judyev A train stopped late at night, shunting, lights, weary passengers, mystery - what are you doing to me? I’m away, riding a night train in winter, held up at the border as we cross into Yugoslavia with soldiers searching the carriages looking for a spy.
