Pidgeons
Posted Aug 31, 2010
Several weeks ago I noticed a pidgeon spending a lot of time on my patio. Shortly after that I noticed it had laid two eggs on the bare concrete. Only a day later a nest had been made (what an odd order, I know!) and two pidgeons took turns laying on them. Awww, domestic avian bliss....

Batter Bonanza
Posted Jul 20, 2010
Today I discovered this:
http://www.clubhouse.ca/en/products/detail.aspx?Beer_Batter_Batter_Mix&id=ed6781e2-bca0-48a4-974b-9d1aa21b97b3
From my fishing trip I still have several pounds of halibut in the freezer (several dozen, actually) so I thought I would try doing some pan frying.
It's odd (no, not the batter) but I remember the taste of this stuff like a memory of a long lost toy. I must have subconsciously chosen it, because I have no memory of the product itself. I've used Clubhouse products before (sorry to my UK friends if it's not available there, or if it is it's something different) but not this one. It's bringing back memories of my childhood so I suppose my older sisters or my mother used it. Mum passed away when I was young so I'll ask both sisters.
I wonder if it will make them feel the same way. Kind of nostalgic but happy.

Wooden Ships on the Water
Posted May 25, 2010
Last Saturday I was winding up my visit / fishing trip with relatives when one of them mentioned a free Wooden Boat show in the bay I spent most of my youth in (but mostly on the beach!). Took some snaps:

And I once again began thinking about retiring in a *liveaboard* in that self same bay. I even asked about internet hookups!
Then of course I got home and started looking at prices.... maybe in four years? LOL

Rotator Cuff Problems
Posted Apr 16, 2010
I've developed two inflamed rotator cuffs in my shoulders. I've been given exercises by a physiotherapist but they just seem to hurt. I've been told to go all massage therapy but time and money, time and money.
Anyone know of some alternates? (I bought Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulphate pills at the health place but it's only been a day.)
Please! Someone tell me beer works!
