Dart

I always loved playing darts. Everything about it; the feel of tungsten in my grip, chalk dust wiped onto my trousers, the sound of clipping the metal separators around a triple twenty.

I bought some new darts recently. A completely wanton purchase I’ll admit, but then I had been playing with only one for the past year, having lost the other two either out of the window or under something that…

The Lord of the Sheds

The Lord of the Sheds

For reasons that might be either a fall back into a standard position, or else a guiding light of existence, my dad has always been building sheds. You could do a quick panorama of any piece of turf that he has owned, spot one, and then if you performed another turn there’d be a fair chance that another one will have gone up. If you really wanted to test his credulity, well… you’d just end up…

Blog. the Scent of Enlightenment, by Buddha ™

10th August 2019

My wife and I were drugged by a Buddhist monk once. For reals. Apparently he was enlightened but we only had his word to go on about that. I can say for certain that he was a decent business man because he sold us some of his home brew jazz cd’s while we were there (he was a local business man of the year). That was after the scented tea drug (he was a local business man of…

The Blog on the Street

The Blog on the Street

3rd April 2019

In a bid to slip into the sandal of Christian charity, I have recently started taking myself on a wander about town of a Saturday night as a Street Pastor. Perhaps you know of them. Perhaps they helped you out in your local town when the night has a grip upon the wear of your heal? Perhaps you’ve just said hello while passing along the thoroughfare and asked for a lollipop.…

What makes a good song? I’d say its about the time of day, the melody, lyrics, voice, arrangements and some warm, lo-fi production. Mostly though it’s the time of day, as the rest of it you’ll find deployed amongst the music that you already deem decent enough to bother with. And I’ll be honest, in terms of actually understanding music, past having some moves on the egg…

Bloggom and Gomorrah So I just got savagely overtaken by an Audi. You know the deal. It was one of those steroidal Audi’s that started life as a Volkswagen Passat, then got all dressed up in a puffa jacket and garish trainers, hot for either track or A road.

Okay … let’s see if this old engine still runs. Going to have to drag it off the bench where it’s been left with some old tarpaulin for cover. It might have forgotten how to work but there’s still a veneer of fuel left in the tank, enough to pump through if we can find the little teat? They’re always hidden away in some crevice that you forget about. Best give a good few presses…

Climbing the peaks at Stiperstones. Hard to believe but I am a good three-to-four feet above base camp (the path). #IAmMyOwnSafety https://www.instagram.com/p/BpkMpttgxad/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dsaxyxox952a

In the Blog of my Hand

17th July 2018

I’m going to review some things today because soon I’ll be cajoling folks into reviewing The Brine in Me, so I thought I’d have a go at doing some of that myself. Probably none of these reviews are for things that are very recent, although the film that I’m going to review I only saw two nights ago. I didn’t finish it. We’ll get to that.

Actually, let’s do that now. The film was…

I Heart Gardner's Materialism! I love this blower. Sometimes when I'm spraying air around with it I put my left hand out in the sign of releasing super powers and wonder if it is doing the blowing. It gets pretty intense. A local shepherd saw my doing that today. I blew him down the valley. But when I looked down, there was no blower... www.seriousbiscuits.com #IHeartGardenersMaterialism #Blower #Stihl #BlowByBlow #SuperPowers #Air #LocalShepherd #Gardening #GreenFingers #Author #SeriousBiscuits #Booknerd #WritersOfInstagram #TheMeifodClaw #TheBrineInMe #BlowTheGarden

So it turns out that there are going to be bio mechanical cherubs in my first proper assault on fantasy fiction, Border Vaudeville.
