This began as a tale of two gay men, a cat and an octogenarian. It's not a sitcom but I'm not entirely sure it's real life. As a couple we realised we had a choice: either write about life with the grumpy old dwarf and try to see the funny side or bump him off and put him in the skip outside next door. Since that time we have moved on ... 7 years later I came back to update things! So now there are two men, two dogs and a bungalow in Barrybados.

Bird flu - stock up on Hensip Max!


bird flu, originally uploaded by Kelteek.

Wales is going to the dogs – or the birds? On top of the TB outbreaks in Swansea and Cardiff we now have Bird Flu in North Wales. The acting Public Health bod for North Wales is quoted (by the BBC no less) as saying "There's no need to panic". It would appear NPHS are recruiting Dad's Army to run our health service. Stock up on provisions and stay in doors, I say as "We're doomed!".

Perhaps it’ll carry Daddy off, the old Buzzard. It’s not the word I want to use today but it’s close. He was spotted in the kitchen today, stumbling out of the bathroom with his open dressing gown flapping behind him. His shorts were missing and on display were some spring bulbs that wouldn’t win prizes at the Royal Horticultural Show. Even if they sprouted and came into flower I doubt any of the blue rinsed old ladies trotting around the petunias would pay much interest. "They don't like it up 'em Mr Mainwaring, sir!"
