Fiacre Banks @lindaoh Beyond what we know is called “beyond”. Beyond that is more beyond. That’s an awful lot of beyond.

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.

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.

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.

I'm not going shopping to the little Tesco today because it has SNOWED! (See picture above.) When I got up this morning and saw the snow on the back garden I was horrified! I don't like snow. It's OK on pictures or on Christmas...

Fiacre Banks @sharonelton As it happens the loo was fixed by 1pm so the spending damage was limited to one café.

Today’s date, the twentieth of November, issues forth with a sober and serious tone when said aloud, don’t you think? There’s certainly nothing twinkly about it, in fact if dates were occupations this one would be a bank manager...

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.

Today is the first time I’ve actually felt cold this winter, and the first I’ve worn a sweater outside. The temperature has dropped to 4 degrees, the sky is piercingly blue and the strong, cold shafts of light coming like arrows...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville Cold is to be preferred. When we were in Athens in Sept/Oct it was in the 90s and that didn’t do at all.

Today was a day when a touch of constipation would have been appreciated- my toilet is blocked and cannot be used. So my wife and daughter have taken themselves out for the day to spend my money in cafes and shops while I sort the...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville Alas poor Oswald I knew him well. Going from 5 facilities down to 1 has not been easy. I'm just glad that we didn't all waken this morning with diarrhoea.

Fiacre Banks @Looeyville Ah, there you are - missed you. Was a bit worried. Only realised recently that LouAvul is how the name of your fair city sounds if pronounced the way locals are said to pronounce it. Good to see you back.

We are back from our train trip. Eight of us had a five-course meal while gliding slowly along on the Hotham Valley Tourist Railway. Because of the danger of a fire being started by sparks, the dining carriages were pulled by a...

Fiacre Banks @JudyEv This is why I can’t sleep on trains no matter how long the journey - I’m afraid of missing anything. And not just on trains.

The atmosphere in my kitchen this morning is one of warmth, comfort and security. And nostalgia. A pot of apples is stewing away happily, cooking apples infused with cloves, cinnamon, ginger, lemon juice and a splash of brandy....
