If The Shoe Fits …

If The Shoe Fits … My girlfriend and I would go out on a dateShe looked like a model, but had a terrible gait.I was totally smitten,But her shoes were ill-fitting –Her excuse for always being late. (Today’s limerick was prompted by the word, ‘late.’)

Just a Perfect Day.

(I could drink sangria in the park, but doubt it would do much to enhance my professional reputation.) I count myself so very lucky. I started my dog-walking business almost seventeen years ago, and am pleased to say I have regular ‘ideal’ days – despite the frequently inclement weather we suffer here in the west […]

Putting it all in perspective.

When I had my sudden cardiac arrest in late April 2023, I resolved not to bang on about it. It’s not that I feel uncomfortable talking of it, I’m more than happy to do that. In fact, I quite like the attention. 😉 It’s just I didn’t want to be considered a frightful bore! Yet […]

What a to do! – There’s so much to to do.

My first book, ‘Damp Dogs & Rabbit Wee,’ was really an exercise just to see how the self-publishing thing panned out. The idea was to gain experience in that whole new world before embarking on my lighthearted fantasy adventure. It surprised me how well it sold though, considering I was complete novice. However, that meant […]

Kite Flying in India.

My wife and I have just returned from our twelfth visit to Goa, India. As usual, it was amazing! The people; the weather; the food; the ‘chaos.’ And of course, the wildlife. From the beach and street dogs to the water buffalo to the fruit bats. All were wonderful. None more so though, than the […]

Scared? Who, me …?

Asked to name the thing I’m most scared to do, and what it would take to persuade me to do it, and I’m honestly struggling. I don’t mean that to sound like I’m Billy Big B****cks, because as I hopefully grow old, there will be some medical issues inevitably lurking further down the line which […]

Unfair Trade.

Unfair Trade. A bogus trader called DelForged share certificates to sell.But The Stock Exchange got wiseTo his deceit and terrible lies,So now he ‘short sells’ from a cell.

I Wish To Make A Complaint.

I’m British. I complain about the weather. Every. Single. Day. More. I’m Scottish. And us Scots like to complain about … everything! Well, when I say ‘complain’ I really mean ‘moan.’ You know, there’s nothing quite beats a heartfelt moan or grumble to sanctify the soul. I think it’s a by-product of the miserable weather […]

A Sporting Life.

I have a very vivid memory of talking to a co-worker on the bus home from work, and telling her how empty my life would be without sport. This would have been about forty-four years ago, when I was a young twenty-one year old whipper-snapper. “Oh you’re a jogger,” she said, feigning interest when I […]

‘The Accidental Footballer,’ by Pat Nevin.

(A Five of Five Star read.)***** I’ve always felt a bit of an affinity with Pat Nevin. He may be five years my younger, but he attended Glasgow Tech College at the same time I did (we were on distinctly different courses) and I’d often see him around the campus. At that time, he was […]
