Your Dose Of Grumpliciousness
Silly Old Sod
I’m A Moaning Old Curmudgeon
Ok, so I don’t always moan, sometimes I can be quite humorous, but only sometimes. Why don’t you subscribe and stay up to date with this cantankerous old fool?
My Socials
Like most of the world, I am on social media. I’m not just a pretty face. Come and join me on one of the platforms.
YouTube Channel
I have a YouTube Channel and you would be more than welcome to come and see what I get up to.
about me
The really boring bit that I’m told I have to include in this blog as it’s good for something they call SEO. Oh well, here goes.
Music
I do love my guitars and playing them even performing sometimes together with my long lovely wife.
Drawing
I have been known to draw and paint the odd portrait. Well, I think they’re good.
blogger
Blogging is something I enjoy, although I much prefer moaning, especially at the powers that be.
A few words about myself. One moment I’m in my twenties, minding my own business, having fun, getting married, starting a family and all the normal trials and tribulations of life that most of us go through. Next thing I know, thirty-odd years have passed me by and I’m 64, hair falling out, knackered, and consuming far too many prescription tablets, inhalers and all sorts of paraphernalia. More frequent hospital visits seem to be par for the course these days.
I’ve recently retired, not because I wanted to, but because I wasn’t well enough to carry on with my job, which was labour-intensive in a major car plant. They have looked after me, though, and so it is that I now embark on a new direction with my life. To be honest, I’m looking forward to the journey, and one of the things I want to do is start this blog. I’m ‘tech savvy’ as they say, so together with my limited artistic skills, I’m sure I can put something together that will be of interest to others.
I enjoy being creative, playing my guitar, drawing, painting both traditional water colour and modern digital art, particularly portraits. My watercolour skills are not so good as my pencil ones, and I have to admit that I find nothing better than sitting down for half an hour and sketching away with a pencil, then reaching out for my guitar and having a ‘woodshedding’ moment. I love music too, all sorts, but my favourite will always be ‘The Blues’. I enjoy watching sport, although I was never very good at participating I still enjoy watching football and all the other major events, rugby world cup, Olympics

Wot? It’s Not Mackerel!
I think as we get older, so the big enjoyments of life get less. I supposed you would expect that of a grumpy old so and so like me. However, I have just heard that not one tin of Mackerel in the U.K. contains, can you believe this, wait for it…. drum roll, contains not… More

Froggy Dreams
I had one of those strange dreams last night. One of those that makes no sense at all, yet it makes you feel a little uncomfortable. It was certainly weird enough to wake me up. It all started in the kitchen. Why in there of all places, I don’t know. There I am, stood with… More

Go Ahead Punk. Make My Day!
Remember that famous line from Clint Eastwood in one of his Dirty Harry films? ‘Go ahead Punk, make my day.’ I’m not sure if it was filmed before or after Punk music was around, but he certainly didn’t have the music in mind that day.I don’t think I can recall anymore of the film than… More

I’ve Been Hiding
I’ve been hiding, keeping a low profile in the hills of mid Wales. Actually, it’s not been too bad as I had nothing to hide from except maybe the incessant heat and sun. What a summer we have had. Some days I felt as though I was trapped in a furnace, no escape and I… More
