Here I am, back on the downward slope, after recovering from the carrot incident. (I forgot to mention that the guilty root vegetable paid the ultimate price, deep in that evening’s lamb stew. The peppers and baby sweetcorn seemed a little miffed, since they’d done nothing to cause harm, but I remain confident that theyContinue reading “Routine”

Has Bean
Well, after 58 years on this planet, today I had a quite unexpected experience with a carrot. Yes, you heard me. A carrot. Let me leave that there for a moment. There I was, due to be in the Old Country for my birthday this year, but apparently there’s some bother with people getting sick,Continue reading “Has Bean”
Homeward Bound
I don’t want to dwell on it, but today we should have been heading west for a couple of months with the old folks. I couldn’t let this day pass without some comment. The flights were cancelled some time ago, so there has been plenty of time to get used to the idea, but don’tContinue reading “Homeward Bound”
Farty Towels and Flowery Twats
I knew it would happen. As I was sat there formulating yesterday’s scribblings, I wondered about what other television programmes would fall foul of these new cultural censors. Is that what they are? This morning, Twitter informed me that an episode of Fawlty Towers has been withdrawn from one or more TV channels or streamingContinue reading “Farty Towels and Flowery Twats”
What If?
The other day, during a conversation with someone close to me, the specific details of which are best kept between us, I was inspired to think about the different course my life may have taken, but for a few minor ‘what ifs?’ I suppose there’s nothing especially new in this kind of thinking, and theContinue reading “What If?”
Wang – King
Yes, the less peurile version of me would have gone for doing that title the other way round, but it may attract a bit more attention, so live with it. I’ve mentioned my struggles with learning Chinese, and this ‘ere instalment comes from a genuine series of events which prompted me to take this particularContinue reading “Wang – King”
Maudlin
Morose, too. Possibly. The past few days have been difficult. To be fair, most days have a certain degree of difficulty, but of late I have been contemplating the journey that will not be happening next month, and this is keeping me at a decidely low level of down. It’s strange, and perhaps a littleContinue reading “Maudlin”
Unlikely
Earlier today, I happened to be dealing with some issues relating to my hair. More precisely, an old friend of mine was casting doubt on my choice of facial hair stylings, as brought to you in ‘Hairy’, just last week, I believe. Should you have missed it, go have a gander here. Now: https://twenty20vision.home.blog/2020/05/18/hairy/ TheContinue reading “Unlikely”
Fear
Earlier today, I was presented with another interesting interview concerning the virus and our response to the same. This one: It came to my attention with the claim that it has been banned by Youtube and removed to prevent it being widely viewed and shared. Subsequently, it was re-instated, but I felt complelled to watchContinue reading “Fear”
Hairy
From time to time, certain things come along and remind you of something you’d rather forget. Today, I have a couple of examples. That there Facebook offers up ‘memories’. Essentially, it will dredge up an image or some text from the same date in years gone by, and today it has managed to fill meContinue reading “Hairy”
