Can We Be As Caring As Animals Please?
I’m having one of those emotional days and this video sure did tug at them so of course I had to share it with you. Let me know what you think.

Who cares for the carers?
Let me start by saying, isn’t that a stupid term? ‘Carer’. Of course we care, everybody cares but I suppose ‘looks after-er’ is a bit of a mouthful. Over the Christmas period, I was left asking this question, ‘who cares for the carers’? Actually it’s been on my mind for a while, since a nurse…

Dog Food Vs Cooked Meals
Our dog is getting older and with that, comes a new level of fussy. We have a lurcher – they are hunters and scavengers. He used to grab dead birds from under the trees and try and eat them when I walked him round the local river. I mention that to make the point that…

Security tags on meat and Christmas trees are up too!
My latest shopping trip had a couple of surprises for me. As I drove into the car park, something caught my eye immediately. I had a brief ‘no, it can’t be’ moment, then I realised, yes it can be. Christmas trees are already being thrown up in the stores and they don’t even look like…

This reaction to Charlie Kirk’s murder hit hard
I wasn’t sure if I was going to write anything about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, for a number of reasons. One being, I didn’t want to add to the noise – there is already a lot being said about this tragic event and I certainly didn’t want to do it while my emotions were…

A Weekend of The Arts
‘Hominin’ Book Launch (Neil R McAdam) & ‘Interstellar 10’ (Roger Sayer) This weekend I was lucky enough to take Dearest Son to a couple of events: It was our first book launch event we’d ever been to and I was keen to take DS (that’s Dearest Son) as I want him to experience new things,…

Ever heard of the Inversion Matrix?
I came across an interesting video today. I wanted to share the video I found because I found it very intriguing and I’m keen to hear what you think of this guy’s summary of what is happening in the Western world right now. Do you think he is right, or is he talking a lot…

Can a seagull grieve?
This is a question which has been on my mind this week. As someone who lives in a seaside town, I know all too well, the dangers and nuisance seagulls can bring. When Dearest Son was very young and still using his little pushchair, we were going about town doing something or other which I…

#Alan’s Allotment has burned down
Hello my blogging chums. This is not the post I was going to do today. I realise I haven’t been great at blogging of late, or of reading your posts. This is something I intend to remedy but until then, I have something I want to bring to your attention. Maybe you can help this…

Blog or Website?
I’m confused again. This thought has been swirling round my head for some time so I think the time has come for me to bring it to you to sort out. If you are reading this, the chances are, you have a blog. Lots of us have a blog. We share our thoughts, our photos,…

Insect dog treats? No thanks
Would you be happy to feed your dog treats which have been made from insects? I’m not. For those who don’t know, there is a real big push for food we buy to include insects and I see this as one step closer to this goal. I have no desire to eat bugs and I…

Do You Believe In Coincidence?
Sometimes things just seem to happen and work out right, but is it luck or something else? At the weekend, Dearest Son and I had a trip to Inverness. It had it’s good points and it’s bad points if I’m honest and we aren’t too keen to rush back. We had to collect something and…
