If I was married, I would assume you were my wife. I'm utterly hopeless, yet still believe I can do these things.

I'm a bloke, therefore can only see primary colours, and my shorts ALWAYS go with whatever t shirt I pull out that morning. However, I have a decoration question. Have bedside cabinets with hideous handles. Would these, varnished, be a good replacement?

Navi Pillay, a South African woman of Indian heritage wins the Nobel Peace Prize. An absolute force of nature, she is everything the Orange Sex Pest loves, and I, for one, can't wait to hear him congratulating her for her sterling work through the years. #Nobel #NaviPillay

English geek here, but the original phrase doesn't mean what you think it does. Although I agree fundamentally with your second sentence.

I can't "like" this post. Pah, awful news.

I was in Aldershot, as a squaddie, on duty. Heard the wind, heard an office window smash, wrote it in the occurance book. Realised in the morning, on the news, a smashed window was nothing.

I remember Michael Fish saying the same.....

My favourite city in the world. My favourite bar and favourite restaurant are there. Lived there a couple of years, I could see the square trees from my kitchen window. Enjoy.

Dame Esther Rantzen leaves us. I thought her campaign in her last years was full of merit and done respectfully. However, its her scene with Sir Nicholas Winton that will always leave me with a tear.

A visit to the oldest alms house in the country, apparently. Wonderful old place, St Cross Hospital near Winchester. Well worth a visit, beautiful garden, and don't forget to ask for your "dole," if you go.

Very old building with small castellated tower

Sad times, Mary. They create such a hole when they leave us.

Robert Leponge @robertleponge.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

A few miles away, in a place called (I think) St Cross Hospital, the oldest working alms house in the country, they have the same tiles. Maybe an early BOGOF?

How's the weather? Absolutely honking down in Sevilla.

Looks good though, even with your dislike of the art.

It's something that I pay for, yet it leaves me richer.

Love Granada. The whispering vault in the Alhambra is quite a thing.

Robert Leponge @robertleponge.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Exactly that. How's the house coming on?

Robert Leponge @robertleponge.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

This job is 12 hour shifts, but quite a bit of time off in between. I'll be whinging soon enough when I only get my weekends 🤣🤣.

Robert Leponge @robertleponge.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Madly, I could stop working today if I chose. But I tried retirement, and I wasn't ready. I'm actually changing jobs (same company) in a couple of weeks, regular office hours.

Not sure that far up but it's just starting to get light here.

2ndly, on Tuesday I spent the afternoon with one of my granddaughters, which was great. But mainly people (kids, grandkids, friends) are busy during the week.

Robert Leponge @robertleponge.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Firstly, you're up far too early on a Saturday.

110

Robert Leponge @robertleponge.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Ahhh, the week is done, the weekend approacheth. What shall I do? I ask myself. I know, I'll have a shower, prepare some food and go to work for 12 hours. Huzzah.

Robert Leponge @robertleponge.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Just come across that Esther Rantzen clip with Sir Nicholas Winton, again. As always, it reduced me to floods of tears. It's even more poignant now, with what is happening in the Middle East. What a remarkable man Sir Nicholas was.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you ....... September:

#Mondaynightfootball Tuned in for a sports programme, somehow ended up to a Maynard Keanes lecture

No, I'm a grown up now, eating without supervision. Just shovelled some of then into my craw.

Robert Leponge @robertleponge.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

I'm proper old. I've just eaten a pomegranate for the first time. Utter nonsense of a fruit. That is all.

Gracias, arcón es mi palabra del día. No lo sabia.

Up to my ears in dust, dirt and bits of broken stuff. Can't find anything, neighbours getting a most unseemly view as I've not managed to get curtains up yet. All good, usual house move.

Cadiz. Fly to Jerez, hop on a very short train ride. Great city, great food, great nightlife.

Robert Leponge @robertleponge.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Had giraffe neck and wobbly head till about 7 am. Then not too bad, just woke up after a few hours sleep. Same again tonight, but hopefully I'll be less tired at the start.

35 minutes into a 12 hour night shift and already my eyes are closing. Going to be a long one.

Hey Fizz, my deepest sympathies.

Robert Leponge @robertleponge.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

The thing about this is, I don't believe there is a single justified quote from said teacher to corroborate this. The orange sex pest is amongst the most odious creatures to have walked this planet, but if shade is to be thrown (and it should), let it be proven.

Judging by the evidence of my eyes, I may be the only person in Amsterdam who comes into a coffee shop for a coffee.

010

Robert Leponge @robertleponge.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Haha, noooo. It's the one vice I've never had. It's a coffee shop about 50 yards from the hotel. I had a coffee, specifically asking for just a coffee with nothing else. Place had a funny smell though.

Robert Leponge @robertleponge.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

I suspect if I spent 25€ on weed I wouldn't be able to see said free drink.
