| 29 Oct 08 | The advantages of aging | (29 Oct 08, 9:32 AM by ColdHarbour) |
| So there I sat, minding my own business — watching a pair of moorhens do their thing on the far side of the river while quietly enjoying a pint and a cigarette in the garden of a pub near where I live — when I heard a voice that I've not heard in months. [more...] | ||

| 7 Jul 08 | Blue-Grey Monday | (7 Jul 08, 4:50 PM by ColdHarbour) |
| For once I am actually glad that it's Monday. It being Monday means I survived last week without succumbing to the outbreak of insanity that apparently infected just about everyone else I had dealings with. [more...] | ||
| 30 Jun 08 | Rites & Rituals | (30 Jun 08, 1:49 PM by ColdHarbour) |
| Rituals have always fascinated me. I'm not sure why. If my interest was limited to the elaborate ceremonials used to mark rites of passage and so on, I could understand it. I understand the power of theatre. [more...] | ||
| 23 Jun 08 | Cider with ... | (23 Jun 08, 1:49 PM by ColdHarbour) |

| 20 Dec 07 | You look like shit (4) | (22 Dec 07, 10:40 AM by ColdHarbour) |
| I am wondering how easy it is for private citizens to buy tracking devices. My friend found me today, half-a-mile from the nearest pub, shopping for baguettes & brie in the local supermarket. [more...] | ||
| 4 Dec 07 | Just a fold in my jeans (3) | (4 Dec 07, 6:33 PM by goodghirl) |
| I think I've worked out why my friend likes bulldogs. They share certain personality traits. Once either has sunk their teeth into you, neither knows how to let go! I was shopping in Wimbledon yesterday and stopped off for a pee and a pint in a pub I've not been in for years. She found me! [more...] | ||
| 27 Nov 07 | The Kitchen Slave (5) | (1 Dec 07, 1:03 AM by Janie_0) |
| My friend finally managed to read the weblogs she nagged me into writing. I met her last night. I have therefore been asked to make it absolutely clear that my friend is a respectable married woman and that, consequently, any suggestion that she might be “just some dirty-minded old slag who spends all day in the pub thinking about kinky sex” is wholly untrue.

| 16 Nov 07 | She was out with the girls | (16 Nov 07, 9:27 AM by ColdHarbour) |
| I saw my friend again last night. I still have a hangover. [more...] | ||
| 4 Nov 07 | So far today ... (4) | (5 Nov 07, 8:14 AM by ColdHarbour) |
| A friend of mine said I should start a weblog. [more...] | ||
