Lockdown Day 15

Another busy one today but also a very sad one, one of my heroes died today. I first heard John Prine on John Peel around 1971 or 1972 when, as a student, I had a lot of time for listening to music. The tracks were from his first album and memorable right from the start […]

Lockdown Day 14

Another busy day in front of the computer unfortunately. Project proposal for the EU and some local learning sites to set up/maintain. It was also not a very nice day for going outside. Ana finished her treasure box and more was done with the jigsaw and the neighbours came by to show us their haul […]

Lockdown Day 12

OK, really running out of puff on the blog by now. Was a quiet day with work for me to do. News today that we will see out the full 4 weeks at Level 4 and there is a new cluster in Christchurch around a rest home, hope they are all OK. They moved a […]

Lockdown Day 11

A Sunday with everyone at home so a very sociable day from the now traditional boules to the jigsaw, the minecraft and the walks. Also we got invited next door (same bubble!) for dinner and a game night.

The Koala and the Little Lizard

I have no idea where this originated but I found it in the archives: A koala is sitting up a gum tree smoking a joint when a little lizard walks past, looks up and says “Hey Koala ! what are you doing?” The koala says: “Smoking a joint, come up and have some.” So the […]

Lockdown Day 10

Note to self, avoid the temptation to laze around in bed until mid-morning. I just feel worse by adding guilt to the general mix. So I got up at 8 had breakfast and watered the garden (still looking at a drought situation here). I tackled an area of overgrown gully where I’m thinking of laying […]

Lockdown Day 9

I don’t know about everyone else but I’m feeling kind of “flat” today. Hopefully it’s the bottom and I will get some energy back tomorrow. I’ve put on 2 kilos via snacks and beer which isn’t helping. I have found in the past that forcing myself to go out and do some heavy garden work […]

Lockdown Day 8

The day started slowly with some boules but that didn’t last long. Back inside to watch Ice Age on TV. I had a video meet with James and some of his friends but had to break off to test some other VC solution which our Moodle partner is trying to roll out. Some other bits […]

Cambodia 1999

Introduction I wrote this after our first trip. It gives some impressions of the country fairlr soon after it was opened up from Khmer Rouge control. The city, the countryside and Angkor had very few visitors at that time. We started in Phnom Penh where the paranoia was thick on the ground from the moment […]
