The Dog’s Balls

The Dog’s Balls

The sort of really important thoughts that take place round here

The Machine

(Note: I started writing this about a year and ago and am only now getting around to publishing, so it starts as exploration then turns more into a review…) Now that we’ve got a large tiled area to keep clean,

Isn’t living in the future marvellous?

More plague, you say?  Better fire the telly up then…

And here was me thinking I watched a lot of things on the telly in 2020, eh? Who knew THAT was coming… There’s no point lamenting the comparatively few *actual* blogposts between the last one of these and this one,

Something in the way she moves… attracts me like a pomegranate

Get Back – the Beatles documentary. WHAT a riveting 8 hours of film! There are some people for whom this would be the worst thing you could make them sit through. However I thought I’d outline why for me it
