The excitement of neighbours

Posted on January 17, 2018 by thepogblog

Our Towers has been our home for almost a week.  We’re strangely settled (even if it does feel like we are staying in an Air BnB that we’ll have to leave soon).  We’re mostly unpacked (other than the rather large … 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 →

A chaotic 44 minutes

Posted on August 5, 2016 by thepogblog

Neighbours and pants

Posted on May 13, 2016 by thepogblog

I love Pog Towers – it’s just the right size for me and Norman Cat.  We just aren’t too keen on the neighbours. We have quite bad neighbour issues on one side of noise, children picking my flowers, their rubbish in my garden…  I could … Continue reading →

Training the neighbours…

Posted on April 21, 2015 by thepogblog

My neighbours can be a bit of a challenge.  No, that is work language (see how they have trained me?!).  My neighbours are a nightmare.  And the problem is, I’m slightly scared of them and their very large extended family … Continue reading →

Posted on February 28, 2014 by thepogblog

On Wednesday I was feeling a bit sorry for myself.  It was turning into a long week, and after the loveliness of seeing people on Monday things were getting a bit lonely and uneventful at Pog Towers.  (That is, other … Continue reading →

Sleepy issues…

Posted on February 17, 2012 by thepogblog

Last night I couldn’t sleep.  It became one of those nights that I became so frustrated that I couldn’t sleep that there was no way I was going to.  So instead I lay there and tried to work out what … Continue reading →

Family-ness

Posted on January 15, 2012 by thepogblog

It’s been a right old family weekend. On Saturday I took my cousin up on an offer.  Cousin 2 has a curtain and blind shop and was lovely enough to let me go and snaffle pattern books and remnants to … Continue reading →

The Incident of the Chubby Calf

Posted on March 21, 2011 by thepogblog

We’ve had the Tubby Toe Incident (a few times over if I am to be honest), but this morning, well, this morning we had my first serious Chubby Calf Incident. There I was, checking my e-mails while pulling on my … Continue reading →
