Board Games, do you love them or hate them? Back in the 1950s when I was a child, I used to cheat! Snakes and Ladders. Ludo. Chess. Draughts. Monopoly. Cluedo.

Have you experienced a midlife crisis? Have you left your wife and run off with a younger woman. Have you left your husband and and run off with a younger man? Oh, what a tangled web we weave! Also in this episode, a visit to the dentist, finding treasure at a derelict house, a haystack fire and more...

Who Are You Really? Do you ever put on a front, a facade, when you’re around other people? Do you change your demeanor, the way you speak, or even the way you express yourself depending on who you’re talking to? Which version is the real you? Do you wash and polish your car regularly?

In this episode, I ask whether you're happy. What is happiness? Have you lost the happiness? Also, vertical drinking in pubs to be banned??? Translated, standing up and having a beer! Stone the crows, there's another heatwave on the way... GRpmoiXm3ReweRK0KlsV

A shocking view from a tree! You won't believe what I saw from the top of a tree! Stone the crows! Reading the room... some people just can't read the room. They put their foot in it again and again! Diving down rabbit holes... apparently I do that a lot! Please, join me for a good old chat.

Hi, I've just popped in to see how you are.

My Wife Left Me! No, I don't mean my wife! It was a friend's wife, many years ago. Gary the tortoise is out and about. I've now got a mini greenhouse. But, more importantly... I have an announcement to make.

Where's the summer? Where, indeed? Rain one minute, a heatwave the next minute... Crikey! Are garden centres not much more than restaurants these days? What happened to nurseries where plants were relatively cheap and you couldn't buy coffee? Happy days!

Liar Liar Pants On Fire! A girl I knew lied and lied. She lies about her surname, where she lived, where she worked... Why? Who remembers the two up two down houses? Bad TV adverts are getting even worse! Life, what did I envisage? What did I think life would be like as I traveled through the decades? Join me this Sunday for a good old rant!
