For sale - my old faithful van.

• Comments (0)

I went to the garage with a heavy heart today because I know it is the end of the road for me and my van. If I want to create a good impression when I roll up to a venue I have to have a spick and span van...my old van is well, old.

As the sun was shining so brightly I decided to take my two little dogs on a walk down to the Newbridge Fields in Bridgend. I crossed the river bridge and I was surprised to see what looked to me like a row of French toilets on the grass opposite...

Mamgu Behaving Badly

• Comments (0)

Never again, I mean it this time....I had a very good night in the comedy club in Cardiff but the wine was flowing too generously as you can see by this photograph of me and the street pastors.. ..I look absolutely trashed...whereas they look so amenable and approachable...

I dread to think what I was saying to this young street pastor as the one corner of his face gives his thoughts away...."what a sight at your age" he seems to be making some sort of judgement....almost sneering....I suppose he will get less shockable as time goes on...

I had never heard of a street pastor, apparently when I was away there was a lot of publicity in the paper about them. I think they are a great idea. Before I left on holiday I witnessed a young man being beaten up in Bridgend if the street pastors can create a sense of calm and well being and stop the violence in town, they will prove a great asset to the community.
I can just remember asking one of them if he was trained in Kung Fu and how was he going to handle a drunken yob....but then of course he was looking at one!

Missing the 'Plop'

I spent the end of last week and the beginning of this one wondering what on earth I had forgotten and then it hit me....it was the 'plop' and 'rustle' that the letters make as they are pushed through my letter box by my postman.
