Belle’s indecent play (Rousse)

Posted on February 26, 2019 by Dreamaticus

Belle was more popular with the lads than me. I put this down to her more daring playground performance. She zipped down the slide at an indecent speed, laughing her head off, with her legs held high in the air. … Continue reading →

Hotel holds guest’s underwear hostage (Rousse)

Posted on February 23, 2019 by Dreamaticus

AH, CS, NY and SY pulled up outside the house bang on time at 3pm. ‘Look what we’ve brought!’ showed off AH, as he dragged two life-size cardboard cut-outs of me and TPR into the house. Each with a mop … Continue reading →

Second wedding wildlife (Rousse)

Posted on February 23, 2019 by Dreamaticus

The bride wore a bizarre blue patterned lawn cotton gown, as did her chief bridesmaid daughter. Two of her three sons, dressed in black suits, vied for the role of best man. This all seemed pretty pointless to me since … Continue reading →

Red fleece pyjama shame (Rousse)

Posted on February 22, 2019 by Dreamaticus

When I saw BB come round the corner into reception with a bunch of computer industry experts I knew that I had to sharpen up my act. Lounging around campus reception in my red fleece pyjamas until mid-morning was an … Continue reading →

Sponge-cake frog-legs (Belle)

Posted on February 21, 2019 by Dreamaticus

I was panicking. The judges were on their way and I was still smearing green-coloured sponge cake onto my legs and I hadn’t even got my webbed feet ready. I was a fool to enter this competition.

Alternative wedding activities (Rousse)

Posted on February 21, 2019 by Dreamaticus

As the guests arrived for my sister J’s wedding, I chatted to my young cousins in the kitchen. This was more interesting than making small talk with middle-aged men in dark suits. I also wanted to avoid getting into arguments … Continue reading →

Global wheat production, whisky league tables, and Hawaiian trade statistics (Rousse)

Posted on February 17, 2019 by Dreamaticus

This time I really had gone too far. Why would the students need to know about global wheat production and whisky league tables in an introductory about Knowledge Management? Sure, the images that I used were beautiful, but surely there … Continue reading →

When breasts head south (Rousse)

Posted on February 17, 2019 by Dreamaticus

I hadn’t expected to bump into London-based SW in the Outer Hebrides. Yet here she was, as large as life, all aglow in a bright orange, and very clingy, T shirt dress, lounging lazily on the seat of a bus … Continue reading →

A marriage break-up for a mother (Rousse)

Posted on February 16, 2019 by Dreamaticus

From the way that he addressed me, the young man who now worked at CodeBase was obviously a former student of mine. I did recognise him (sort of), but had no idea how long ago he had attended my classes, … Continue reading →

A near-miss kiss (Rousse)

Posted on February 16, 2019 by Dreamaticus

I enjoyed my dark morning walk through the Edinburgh Old Town with KW. He told me of the antics of his teenage children and his son’s interest in a TV documentary about tailoring. I suggested that a career in watchmaking … Continue reading →
