I’m unaccustomed to dealing with medical problems, so the prospect of undergoing a routine surgery came not without some trepidation.
This was to be a hernia repair. Possibly the result of lugging a humongous 32-inch Sony CRT television set up two flights of stairs a couple of years ago (as at least two people who will [...]

Last weekend saw Jen’s first taste of one particular British tradition: the car boot sale.
I haven’t attended the bargain bustle of the boot sale for a good many years, despite them being regular weekend entertainment at one time. Jen, of course, knows garage sales, rummage sales (I think we might translate those as Jumble Sales), [...]

I am sketching at a nearby church late on Sunday morning (see image), and experience an interesting encounter. Some of the dialogue here may be paraphrased but I assure you not exaggerated.

I am never one to share the cry of scare-mongers without looking deeper.

It turns out those scare-mongers have been at work again.
We regularly read [...]

Where work is concerned, I am pretty self disciplined to get on with it and get things done (ADD-related issues aside). It’s a good thing, this self discipline. But if permitted too much free reign, it completely skews the work-life balance.
Old habits
Getting going in the morning is easy: do everything I can to physically start [...]

This weekend gave me the opportunity to initiate the training of the sorely neglected Japanese maple mentioned in this very recent bonsai post.
It needed some drastic action, and several years of work, but we have to start somewhere. The picture on the left shows the initial pruning and wiring of the Japanese maple (Acer Palmatum) [...]
