Old Year's Night 1 Jan 2012 | 05:09 am
I guess today is as good a time as any to formally bring this blog to a close. The last day of the year is for taking stock of what has gone by and planning for the future. This time last year I was...
Fighting talk 22 Apr 2011 | 11:17 am
For almost as long as I have been writing this blog, I have talked about the little village in the hills in which we made our home and how much it means to me. This area is of negligible economic sig...
A year in the death: March 1 Apr 2011 | 07:09 am
It was R's birthday on Sunday. He would have been 49. That's no age to be absent from the party, is it? It is still difficult to fully take in the fact that he has gone. Even though to the outside wo...
Running to stand still 15 Mar 2011 | 01:17 am

It has been a heck of a week, including two nights working way into the wee small hours. Moose was a little stir-crazy too as his dicky leg has been playing up and our walks have been necessarily fore...
Lonely hearts 15 Feb 2011 | 10:37 am
As seen from the top of the Berliner Dom last year. Yet another set of steps that we never got to climb together. I was a little bit mad that day, so I walked up all 270 steps twice - once for each of...
A talking-to 11 Feb 2011 | 12:53 pm
