NOTICE ABOUT THIS SITE

As you have probably noticed, I kind of ran out of things to say on this blog that were of much use/relevance and have been using it simply to backlink articles.

I have now another site I use for that and am considering what to do with this one.

HOWEVER, I HAVE STARTED ANOTHER BLOG BASED ON MY THOUGHTS AS A BUDDHIST WHICH ARE BASED ON PRESIDENT IKEDA'S DAILY GUIDANCE AND WILL BE POSTING A NEW ONE EACH DAY.

TAKE A LOOK AT MY NEW DAILY GUIDANCE THOUGHTS BLOG.

Asparagus Pee

Had asparagus twice yesterday which wasn't planned ... absolutely delicious, but funny how it makes your pee smell bad !!

Buying fish online

Well it would be nice I guess to try some different fish other than what can be bought at the supermarlet and it looks like a good way tp buy them is to do so online.

root canal treatment

Apparently, despite rumours to the contrary .. root canal surgery is not that painful !!

Root Canal Surgery

I thought I;d do a bit of digging around about this as everyone seems to think it's dead paiful ... apparently not!!!

Sitting in the morning sun

In teh garden .. british summers and the lovely warmth .. so how about some new garden furniture?

Blood Pressure or Hypertension

It came as quite a shock to me a few years ago when I discovered I had very high blood pressure. Thankfully, it is now down to decent levels .. article about high blood pressure here.

Google Domination

It seems that Google is no longer happy simply dominating the search engine market and now seem set to attack Microsoft's dominance of the sofware sector .. not by relacing it, but by attempting to bypass it alltogether with their newly announced Google Chromebooks.

New blog started

As you may have noticed, I rarely post any buddhist stuff on here these days. It's not that I don't practise, I do but I rarely find the time anymore and I don't think anyone read it anyway.

I have now started a blog though which is more personalised which you can see at http://inmyfifties.blogspot.com/ .. basically a sometimes humourous look at life after fifty.

stinky breath

a couple of new articles on excerptz about bad breath and the unusual tonsil stones ... never heard of them ? take a look.

new website

finally got my own 'what I like' kind of website up and running yesterday which I hope will grow > www.grumples.co.uk

A bit of art

Just the one this morning .. busy busy day ahead ... pop along and check it out .. an intro to buying art online

Phew busy busy busy

Thanfully a friend dragged me out for a walk along the nottingham to beeston canal with a meal at one end and a pint at both :-) Good job too as it was a lovely day and I'd spent the morning in bed writing some articles for Extractz.... B it of a change of tactic and topic subjects including a basic guide to holidays in Greece , a bit of info and tips for online dating a couple of health related ones kind of in how to nmake a will and an article on bipolar disorder Just to lighten the mood a little, I added a couple of short articles on upcoming fashion trends Jelly Shoes and Cat Eye Sunglasses

More posts on Excerptz

Did you know that yesterday was the 75th anniversary of the opening of Butlins in Skegness ... Happy Birthday :-) Not really my thing but I guess a lot of people will be holding Royal Wedding Street Parties soon .. of dear !!!

Grumples

Decided today to set up my own article website with my favourite topics plus room for me to rant .. after my honory title it's called grumples

first on excerptz

After writing several hubs on hubpages, with the recent google panda hit, I thought it was worth a try at excerptz and so have written my first article there on the AV or Alternative vote

Sunday Articles

Despite the lovely sunny weather, I spent most of the morning in bed and decided to write a couple of articles The first is a response to the ban which comes into force in France today banning facial coverings such as the burqa and niqab http://hubpages.com/hub/Burqa-and-Niqab-Ban and then a bit of a personal tribute to Kurt Cobain and how he indirectly influenced my decision to practise buddhism. http://hubpages.com/hub/Kurt-Cobain-Suicide oh and another written later in the day about the history of Harley Street
