Interesting how vinyl has come back
I await the return of cuneiform with some enthusiasm :-)

Yep, time will come when we'll communicate in pictures.

It sounds way better. Just a metric craptonne better. Not sure cuneiform would be quite the same improvement. Mwahaharhgh!

I’ve done some more wittering. A bit of a rant a bit of a photo share and a bit of book stuff ... https://mtmcguire.co.uk/2021/06/06/fl...

[Alicia]

Good rant.

Yeh, I sometimes wonder about not posting here anymore although I think Desley sometimes picks it up from here. I loved yours this week. The barbed last paragraph was golden. :-)

I read from the e-mails, but do like coming on here to comment

[Alicia]

Don't get the emails - it's easier for me to just come here, read, say hi, comment where I might have a clue.

I like the idea of a lock so crude you can pick it nearly as fast as you can open it using the key
Makes losing the key a bit less fraught :-)

Yeh, and the whole different slant on keys ie that you kept them with you or you made them look like something else. Seems so bizarre set against the way locks and keys operate now.

Hope to have our travel blog up by the 24th July. It's called On The Run For Fun! Although, I have to say, my lovely wife is taking it extremely seriously!

Wicked. Let me know when it kicks off as I bet it will be interesting. Where are you off to this time?

[Alicia]

All I can say is to get all the fun and traveling in you can while still up to it.

I've done a rather long blog post this week. Indeed, it's longer than my shortest story, which is ... a little scary. You can find it here:

https://mtmcguire.co.uk/2021/10/30/ad...

Also, I did one last week and that's here:

[M.T.]

This week's blog is ready for you to um ... enjoy if that's the right word: https://mtmcguire.co.uk/2021/11/07/yes/

[M.T.]

After a very long hiatus, here’s a new blog post!

They're always fascinating trips I would never have taken otherwise - you are kind to share.

There have been so many of them, I just haven’t had time to type them up … I’ve missed it though. The blogs are like writing a letter to a friend so when I don’t do them it all feels a bit strange.

[Jim]

But they take so much time, that's the problem :-(

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Really enjoyed it MT and sent to a friend, with a comment 'don't drink while reading, you might nearly choke like I did!!

This is true, but quality can't be rushed! I'm only just getting round to reading your latest.

Mwahhahahrgh! Delighted you enjoyed it! :-)

A week suddenly becomes a very short time when it's the gap between blogs!

Yeh and when you write about 6k a week it makes a big hole. I was only writing on a Monday so I had to bin it for Nano and then there was just too much other stuff going on to write anything! Sill, it'll be done in two weeks.

New blog post is up. https://mtmcguire.co.uk/2022/01/08/done/ enjoy.

nice

I'm with you on the social distancing, I always try and get spaces away from people, even pre Covid. I hope that poor girl did genuinely just have a non Covid related cough, but I wouldn't have taken her out regardless, I hate coughing in public, so if I had a bad cough, I wouldn't go and have a meal out, for the benefit of the rest of the people, although given how they parked, they may not consider other people.

If I'd been on my own, I would have lied and told them I'd just been diagnosed with COPD so I was going to move and to please not take it to heart because I meant nothing by it. That said, they would probably have kicked off. They was definitely a touch of the 'we're just as good as you' chip about them.

McOther is actually at risk, but we agreed, afterwards, that if we'd moved they would have accused us of being snobby.
