Today was a red letter day for the blog when the number of hits exceeded 200,000. It is now running in excess of 1000 hits a day, something in the order of 30 to 40,000 hits a month, so presumably someone, somewhere is gaining some comfort or benefit from it which, as I have explained […]

Today two representatives from the Health and Design Technology Institute from Coventry University came to see me about some of the various gadgets I have invented to assist in daily living. I gave details of five different ideas, one of which was the Feeding Frame, which I’ve mentioned from time to time in this blog. […]

I don’t know about the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown being described, by Sarah his wife, as quite romantic for a man, I consider I have always been romantic. Today, I had delivered a beautiful bouquet of a dozen red roses for ‘my lovely’ which I gave her together with an enormous sloppy Valentine card. I’m […]

Lunch today at my favourite restaurant,  Sheekeys, off Charing Cross Road, with my dear old 92-year-old friend, Geoffrey Hanscomb. He was in great form with nothing more than the occasional touch of gout – in his case a medical condition rather than a by product of an excess of alcohol! I wonder whether this will […]

Nail day – feet and hands. Although I have these done privately at home, at my own cost, I am sanguine that between Sir Alan Haselhurst (the Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons and my local MP) and I, a free fingernail cutting service will shortly be introduced, by The Essex County Council, for […]

I am beginning to have problems manipulating my electric toothbrush to clean my teeth. My hands are simply too weak to twist the brush in different directions. However I’m managing for the time being but I don’t think it will be too long before I have to get ‘my lovely’ to do it for me. […]

Adopt a Dog

Posted by DMC on 6 February 2010 in Jokes |

If you want someone who will eat whatever you put in front of him and never say its not quite as good as his mother’s …then adopt a dog. If you want someone always willing to go out, at any hour, for as long and wherever you want … …then adopt a dog. If you want someone […]
