Red's Ramblings v.2

I’m not referring to my own although you would be forgiven for thinking that I am such are the lack of posts. No, I’m referring to the blogs that are lovingly cared for on a commercial host where the owner has a met a fate most foul (or maybe just died) and has stopped paying [...]

My plans (not that I had worked them out yet but that’s how I start this post)… My plans, have been dealt a mortal blow. Not by Somalian pirates, not even by good old Cornish ones, but by my good lady wife. Well not so much her but by her flat tyre. The net result [...]

Its often good practice to slow down, stop and take a look around. That’s just what I’m doing now. Its a quiet Sunday morning post Christmas and Boxing Day. Having sat in front of the screen for a while catching up on the news and my dismal Fantasy Premier league score this week I realised [...]
