Devon school children launched Spudnik 2 in a science experiment; basically a plastic bottle with a GPA tracking system, a camera and a potato dressed as a Santa strung to a helium weather balloon. It brought back images from space! Now this is what it’s all about – I love it! I remember a teacher at my junior school who had [...]

I’ve been saving this picture for a moment just like this…
A week ago my better half opened the fridge and in the usual hippy exagerated style, I have become used to, exclaimed ‘Oh NOOooo!’, then shut the fridge again and got back to what he was doing. ‘What?’ I ask. After that kind of outburst I’m expecting some explanation; has he just opened the fridge to find [...]
My work mate Phil is a funny fellow and always makes me laugh with his impressions and comedy antics. Recently we have been talking a lot about the difference between men and women and some of his insights are revealing. He told me today that as a man, to attract a lady you can’t do better that [...]
My great aunt and uncle were farmers in Suffolk. They happened to own many little farm workers cottages dotted around their land and some of which had been uninhabited for many years. Every summer all the family would meet at their farm for a get together and on one such occasion some of the youngsters [...]

Do you have a husband who doesn’t like parties, weddings, Barmitzvahs or indeed any [...]
I saw a flock of geese flying away to a warmer climate this morning, ‘You’ve got the right idea’, I thought.
I was in London at the weekend and saw someone famous…don’t know his name but he’s very tall and funny and I think he does comedy (wears glasses, not Danny Wallace). Anyway…I looked at him and did that ‘Don’t I know you?’ face and he looked at me and did that ‘You don’t know me [...]
When I tell people my better half is a potter, often the response from ladies is ‘Ooo is it like the scene from ‘Ghost’ at your house?’ (you know the film where Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze get jiggy in the mud). Yesterday while lunching with two friends, this came up as my female friend [...]
I thought I’d have a rant to warm up…I’m cold. We have a house that runs on solid fuel which basically consists of a gallapidated (dilapidated even! hehe) Rayburn which we burn wood in. It warms the water a little and keeps the drafts out but not totally satisfactory when it comes to very cold weather [...]
