I bought a single FFP3 mask from Toolstation a couple of weeks back before travelling s...

Just make sure you don't do what I did last year. I trusted my relatives to stack the timber in a nice pile. Instead they left a few pieces on the concrete behind where I was working. I stepped back onto one of these and a rusty screw went into my foot :(

Spent yesterday and today doing much needed clearing up at the back of the garden. We have a lot of pine trees and if the needles and cones and leaves from other trees are not cleared away little else gets the chance to grow. For the first time in months I don't feel exhausted after it. One very hap...

We've been busy in the garden too. Garden centres and DIY shops here are still open, with a strict head count of people in them. Tips are still open too, again with conrtols on how many people are there. Luckily our council has placed big wire containers (4mx4m) for everyone to tip their garden wa...

Shocked to receive news that my Norwegian friend died last week. We worked together for six months in 1974-5 but lost contact, only for us recently to get back in touch and correspond about photography of which he was an ardent enthusiast especially for film. He used an impressive collection of came...

Spurred on by my reminder of mortality I did something I haven't done for ages - dusted off my running shoes and went for a morning jog (I have been relegated from running to jogging for the time being) in the spring sunshine. It is good way to spot potential photo subjects which I can return to la...

No longer have a dog. :( The dogs homes here have almost run out of dogs to adopt since this started. I only hope they don't get all the dogs back again when it is over. I am possibly the only person in the country who doesn't ride a bike either. Haven't been back on one since dislocating my e...

[quote:3496ace15f="bforbes"] Sometimes the costs have nothing to do with driving. Motor insurance went up to pay for the claims relating the Torrey Canyon disaster in 1967. Insurance premiums are all about risk. Nothing else. I drive two cars, a 2018 Range Rover (before that a Freelander) and ...

Insurance costs aren't helped by the industry that has built-up around helping people with their claims. In my latest tumble (lady behind me in a queue at a traffic light went straight-up the back of me when the light turned green), I was told by the 3rd party company used by my insurance company t...

back in the early 1980s a 'mature student' pulled out infront of me and damn near killed me, I fly well but it hurts when you land. His insurance company took 18 months to inspect my bike, as soon as thta was done I moved it to a private garage as the bike shop needed the room. The shop had been ...

The new mini is huge compared to the original. Likewise the fiat500, a point made by fiat themselves several years back. They had a limited edition with the original car size as a silhouette on the side.

About 15 years ago, the Peugeot 405 estate was falling apart, the kids had gone, I had a company car so it was time to downsize the family car. We looked at the level below the 405 - 308, Astra, Focus etc. - and eventually settled on an Octavia estate. As I drove it home, it didn't feel like there w...
