Saturday was a day of unrelenting rain: from the moment we woke up, to the moment we went to bed, it poured down – and so, we spent the day indoors (Wife went one stage further and spent the day in her pyjamas). So, it was not surprising that the children were going a little [...]

Death To Travesty Of All Things Gay

Travesty of All Things Gay has crossed the line: he has (without consulting me at all) hired two Planners to work into me: one of whom I don’t think is good enough to do the job; the other whom is very good – but who won’t work well with me. So – I have arranged [...]

A branch of Waitrose has opened on Chiswick High Road – and the ensuing excitement of the well-heeled residents of this marvellous place is exhilarating to behold. Thrill as they stare excitedly at the cheese counter! Smile indulgently as they devour the contents of the patisserie with their eyes! Gurgle as they wonder at [...]

There is a spring in my step today, as I met up with Best Friend. Heavily pregnant now (due in four weeks) she is finding being “A Preggo” (and nothing else, apparently) deeply irritating: never more so than when the conversation inevitably (it would seem) moves on to stories of the actual birth, when no [...]
