It's been a long time...

Posted by Waspie_Dwarf , in General waffle 26 May 2008 · 53 views

It has been a while since I visited this blog. That is ironic really because I stopped blogging just around the time I actually had something to say.

I had been unemployed for a long time. In November I returned to work. After a long period without work it was hard to re-adapt, but I haven't been sacked so I must be doing something right. Slowly but...

Gravity hurts

Posted by Waspie_Dwarf , in General waffle 07 August 2007 · 43 views

I am scared of heights (I suspect that is why I stopped growing at 5 foot 4) and so I try and avoid them. Actually it's not true that I am scared of heights but like Rincewind I am scared of the ground (if you don't know who Rincewind is it is time for you to start reading Terry Pratchett's Disc World books). As Rincewind points out, it's...

My life as a pin cushion

Posted by Waspie_Dwarf , in General waffle 04 June 2007 · 43 views

On Saturday my sister and I helped my aunt clear her garden. It had become very over grown with brambles. Equipped with various gardening implements we cut the offending blackberry bushes down.

Two days later and I am still finding thorns embedded in various parts of my anatomy. My lower legs and arms look like I went 15 rounds with a hundred feral cats......

Attack of the giant moles

Posted by Waspie_Dwarf , in General waffle 24 May 2007 · 84 views

After hurting my ankle on Tuesday I had a virtually sleepless night. I felt tired so I decided to have a bit of a lie in. This attempt to reclaim some of my missing sleep was thwarted by a lot of noise from outside. I came to the conclusion that the noise was caused by road works. Eventually I decided to give up on the lie in.

When I finally got out of bed...

Unexplained-Mysterious Bruise

Posted by Waspie_Dwarf , in General waffle 21 May 2007 · 190 views

I realise I had a few beers yesterday. I know I wasn't 100% sober but I wasn't really drunk. I was fully aware of what I was doing all night. I can remember everything I did. I know that I didn't make a fool of myself (I was with friends all night, if I had they would have rung me up by now to laugh at me).

So if all this is true where did the...

It's a Bank Holiday in the UK and so. of course, it is raining, There has been virtually no rain for weeks but as soon as we have a Bank Holiday the heavens open.

I wouldn't mind so much, after all it means I don't have to water my garden, but I have to go out in this. It is a friend's birthday today and I am meeting him in Earls Court for...

Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible..

Posted by Waspie_Dwarf , in General waffle 28 April 2007 · 42 views

Wow! Is it really 3 months since I last posted here? It's funny how when you let things slide a day soon becomes a week and a week becomes a month.

Not long after I made that last entry I came down with flu. It took me five weeks to fully shake it off. Although I continued posting and moderating on the main board I kept putting off making a blog...

Happy Burns Night!

Posted by Waspie_Dwarf , in General waffle 25 January 2007 · 37 views

A Happy Burns Night to everyone.

Family tradition has it that I am a direct descendant of the great poet and so I shall be off to the pub in a little while. I shall meet one of my oldest and closest friends and we shall have a few drinks (including a drop of Scotch of course). We will also have some haggis, neeps and tatties which are always laid on in the...

Snow

Posted by Waspie_Dwarf , in General waffle 24 January 2007 · 52 views

Even though the forecasters predicted snow, I was a little surprised to find a white covering this morning. I live close enough to London that it rarely snows here and even more rarely settles. There was a good 1.5cm on my shed roof.

I packed my camera and walked to my local bit of woodland. If the photographs are any good I will post them here once I get...

Mother Nature - the great artist

The view from my bedroom isn't usually a spectacular one, but every now and then Mother Nature dips into her pots of paint are produces a sky like this.
