Posted on December 12, 2017 by thepogblog

Posted on November 2, 2017 by thepogblog

I forgot it was black cat appreciation day last week.  Again. Sorry Norman.  I have tried to make it up to him though. Homework given at week 4 of my photography class was to do ‘a day in the life’ … Continue reading →

Bring the party food! (A guest post by Norman)

Posted on September 15, 2017 by thepogblog

My Pog and himself have just informed me they are leaving me once again for ‘a bit of sun’.  I got in the suitcase but they said I wouldn’t like it. I am unimpressed. So I propose instead we have … Continue reading →

Meeting the neighbours

Posted on September 5, 2017 by thepogblog

I’ve always found it a bit tricky to meet new people.  I’ve often thought that it would be easier if I had children as there are more opportunities and an obvious common ground.  In fact, since moving to Beachville, I’ve … Continue reading →

Norman Love

Posted on August 8, 2017 by thepogblog

I’m not ashamed to say it:  I am trying to encourage the fur ball to love me more. Since we moved in with Himself, Norman has….well, Norman has transferred his affections.  I suspect he is in love with Himself.  I … Continue reading →

Ghosts, evil squirrels and sacrificial tables

Posted on August 1, 2017 by thepogblog

Well, I suspected this house might have a ghost – it’s very old, the backdoor is often open in the morning and the hall way makes funny noises.  Then I realised that Himself and I were just rubbish at remembering … Continue reading →

Stupidness examples

Posted on June 23, 2017 by thepogblog

Transferable smiles (possibly)

Posted on June 19, 2017 by thepogblog

I like taking photographs of things that make me smile. I like being able to look through them at times when dragging a smile requires a bit of help, or when the world has gone a bit bonkers or just … Continue reading →

The mystery of the doors

Posted on June 6, 2017 by thepogblog
