The computer screen

My friend in the spare room, in front of the window looking out into the back garden.  This machine gets a lot of hammer.

Some of my LPs

A slightly blurred picture of some of my LPs in the front room.  These are waiting to be sorted out so l can get rid of some.

Spider-man pyjamas

Bought for me by Louise and Dazzer (sister and brother in law) as a Christmas present.  A superb choice, as they feature the old comic drawings which l love.

Some CDs and a plastic model

Some of my many CDs, these ones in pine custom built shelves in the spare room. I hate to think how many  l have altogether, as most are stored in plastic sleeves only, and l have loads of boxes full of them.  On the shelves they are in alphabetical order.  In the boxes, they are sorted by groups.  I am indeed, a very sad (bordering on Autistic) man.

The plastic model is for the FPO to use when she is selling clothes on Ebay (so it's gathering dust).

Start with the animals - Jack and Tubbs

Jack the cat, now on her last legs, aged about 21 now, who was originally dumped on my doorstep when l had a flat in Colburn, Catterick. I named her after a man called Jacques who was trusting (like Jack was) in a book by William Wharton (Last Lovers) l was reading at the time she was found/dumped. Used to lie on her back with her legs akimbo to be stroked.  Now deaf, half blind, but still noisy in the morning, meowing outside the door for food.  Used to use a catflap to go outside, but we now put her out the front door and she walks back round and through the catflap to get back in.  Now also has a litter tray by the back door, which she pisses over the side of.

Tubbs the idiot rabbit. Easily the most stupid rabbit we've had, and who now lives indoors. He used to have a brother (Sid) and they lived outdoors together in a large run and hutch until Sid died. Tubbs was then bought  indoors and has a cage by the kitchen. Can come and go as he pleases, but does not like walking on the kitchen tiles or wooden floors, so has to be carried into the living room and then returned to the kitchen afterwards. Still not properly house trained (which is why he is the idiot one), Never used to like people near him, but loves company now.  Named after Hancock's Half Hour (Hancock was called Tubbs by Bill Kerr, and Sid James was in it). Used to jump on the settee, but now refuses to do so.

Introduction

Hi There!

This is an even more pathetic blog than the ones l already have up and running.

All it will have is photographs or scans of my stuff (crap in the house) and maybe a description. Some pictures lumping stuff together, other ones featuring individual items.

What a sad, boring idiot l am.

toodle pip!
