It doesn’t mater what sort of cable I have they always ends up in knots. When we went camping recently I laid out the cable carefully from the electric point to the tent. There were no kinks, no coils of cable, just a lovely straight line. As we packed up and I collected the cableContinue reading “Of Granny knots”

I am not a muscled God!
A post inspired by a collage prompt – Strong. I did try to do strength training, muscle building with weights at home. This was before Kaftrio – the magic Cystic Fibrosis medication. It’s hard work lifting and lowering weights for most people but when you are low on oxygen it’s even more challenging. Before KaftrioContinue reading “I am not a muscled God!”

You never know what you’re gonna get’, was changed from the novel. Tom Hanks never visited Space or became a professional wrestler, as written inContinue reading “Run Forest, run.”
Busting makes me feel good.
I love Ghostbusters. Is there anything more to say? During the films original release, Director Ivan Reitman published a real Ghostbusters phone number. When called a pre-recorded Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd would answer ‘leave a message we are out fighting ghosts…’ The film is inspired by real paranormal investigators who are alleged to beContinue reading “Busting makes me feel good.”
Devotion
No Crown? King Charles faces the opposite direction on the new 50 pence piece as part of a tradition dating back to the 17 century. Breaking with that tradition was the brief reign of Edward the 8th who preferred his portraits facing left. And he was the King. The transcription around the edge of theContinue reading “Devotion”
