Upon awakening this morning and opening the curtains of my flat windows, I noticed the garden of the ground floor flat had been totally transformed – either by a gardener planning a grand floral design or a madman with a chainsaw and a dislike for plants. The fact two trees had been chopped down, various bushes torn up and all the ivy, which had previously entwined the side of the house, destroyed; I suspect the latter.
You may have thought I would have been upset by this blatant example of botanical devastation. However, the removal of the overgrown trees and hedgerow has revealed a wonderful view from the bedroom window…
The photo doesn’t really do it justice. Being so close to Twerton Park, I could almost watch the match from my flat (kind of). Plus, during evening floodlight games, I get free lighting throughout my property, courtesy of Bath City FC.

Claire managed to get it into our back garden before the bin burglar could steal another from us!
So, I believe that is "thank you" to...
- Have You Tried Turning It Off And Back On Again?
In case anyone has been worried about my broken stairlift and the prospect of me being stranded upstairs forever, fear not, for it has been fixed!
We turned it off an on again.
See... the most effective approach to fixing anything technical, whether it be a computer, stairlift or television.
I'm sure the fix is not even below...
- Be Careful What You Wish For
We had a power cut this afternoon. Apparently many properties near to ours were also affected.
Thankfully the "blackout" lasted for just a few seconds. That brief period was long enough to knock out all my tech, which, once power had returned, spent ages whirring and beeping as it all came back to life.
The power cut...
- Well That Was Long Overdue…
I had my haircut yesterday, for the first time since February.
Let's just say my mop was getting very long and I was getting very annoyed with it.
You also know it's bad when your wife calls you Shaggy. I assume she didn't mean the cool dude behind classic tunes like It Wasn't Me and In the Summertime. She...
