lessons for dummies
In my study I have a dummy. Some of you may have suspected that for a long time! Actually I think the technical name is a mannequin. I bought it in order to be able to photograph it in different poses and use them as photographs to accompany words on PowerPoint slides that I use…

getting trollied?
No, this is not a bloggage about drunkenness, although it begins with a confession: I have trolley-lust. There’s something about trollies that I love. It may be that they are so simple, yet so useful (like me?). It may be that they are so mundane and ordinary that we take them for granted (like me?).…

how do you do it?
As regular readers of this blog will know I love magic tricks. I love watching them, learning them, performing them, and seeing the audience reaction (if it’s good!). It seems to me that the question I get asked more than any other is: “How did you do that?” My response might be a cheeky ‘very well’,…

iblog
I have been wondering about marketing recently and am marvelling at how apple have revolutionised things simply by adding a little letter i in front of their products.

The Olympic Torch Relay will soon be starting around Britain, taking 70 days to run its way across the nation, igniting enthusiasm for the Games. It’s coming through Colchester on 6th July…

tales of the unexpected
I normally wear contact lenses. In itself that is not a particularly revolutionary statement. However there is a follow-on statement: there are times when I don’t wear the lenses and have to wear glasses. Again, in itself, that is not a particularly unusual statement: many people wear glasses. Things become more complicated, however, when you…

swing low sweet golf club
I am attempting to become a golfist. I have been taking some group lessons at a nearby golf course and have found that I am more confident and understand what I’m supposed to be doing far better than before. The professional who was teaching us began by explaining what the golf club is designed to…

silence explained
In case you were wondering about the lack of fresh bloggerel yesterday, there is a very simple explanation… I didn’t write anything. And there’s a very simple explanation about why I didn’t write anything… It was a Bank Holiday here in the UK and I took the day off. That doesn’t mean I wasn’t being…
