Tongue tied
Monday July 4th An appointment at the hospital to find out the results of the biopsy on the tongue. (A small piece of tongue was removed for analysis. It was then stitched. I was tongue-tied — literally.) The logical part of me knows it it likely to be good news, there's nothing wrong. Although I …
Homeward bound
I'm sitting in a bus station (with apologies to Paul Simon). Not even that, we waited at the Weatherspoon's down the road. But before I tell the story of a bus ride there's a last couple of days in Whitby to talk about. What no roof (reprise) The abbey at the top of the hill …
On the rails
Ross (again) Yesterday we took a train trip. But before that I've been looking at this Ross Noble guy who the humans won't stop talking about. I have found his Twitter account, and it looks like everything he did was for a TV show he's making, organised through social networking sites (as well as being …

Preserving the Community
Holbeck Working Men's Club may close.So I don't live in Holbeck, or even Leeds, but I do listen to BBC Radio Leeds. A story this morning was that the club is to hold a family fun day in order to attract new members. They see their decline as being part of the decline of the …
Hello old friend
After a long time, and old friend has got back in touch.Noel was a fellow member of a series of bands I was in in the seventies and eighties. In fact we were the only constants in a very changing lineup. For about half of that time I've been working shifts, which makes being a …
Car Hits Cyclist
Car Hits CyclistThis is the sort of story that attracts me, having spent the last seven years with an injures foot due to having been a cyclist in collision with a car. But instead of a diatribe against motorists, which is what people would expect, I'm taking the other tack.Like most cyclist I don't want to own the roads, but I …
