It’s been a weird week.
I’ve been limping more than normal and just noticed I have a huge bruise on my knee – Fuck knows how it got there. A note to my self (Is that one word??) I need to take more showers!!!!

Week 515 is my first posting of 2025.
Hope everyone had a brilliant New Year!!!
It was just after the bells when I thought on something. My mum had been a wee bit upset, understandably, she gets this way at this time of the year since my dad died. I think all of us who have lost folks do and let’s be honest, it gets worse each year, not better, cause there is always someone else to add to the list!

Here we are at Week 511.
I hate this time of year.
I hate the greed of the supermarkets – Just look at any dangling clip-strips, dump bins and every piece of space that is occupied by some shite or another.

This may go on a wee bit as my head is full of stuff. I should probably separate (I can never spell that sodding word!!) it all and make a few posts out of this or that or whatever, but what the hell, I enjoy writing off the cuff. (I need to check where that saying came from) First off, I need to say what a cracking four days with my lovely wife who I judge for staying with me!! We went to Skye. What a stunning place. Beautiful people. What a diversity of folks as well. I think I counted fourteen nationalities that I spoke to over four days. But fuck me, it’s expensive—I think only Paris could compare. However, it didn’t matter. We were together for forty years so we said ‘Sod it! Let’s go somewhere we have always wanted to see.’ Skye was that very place. I drank Talisker in Skye which is the home of Talisker. I had a few Drambuies, which was made for Bonnie prince Charlie. I got dizzy as every sodding place is so high. I ate superb seafood. Met an Aussie / Kiwi couple who were travelling half of Europe on their honeymoon and a wee mad mental Liverpudlian fellow who walked a bit weird. We both wondered if he had had an injury and he told us that he had. He jumped off a one hundred and fifty foot cliff, was blown back onto the cliffs. He broke all his ribs and shattered all of his mouth. He was a young guy and I asked him how his mum felt, he stated, and I will always remember this, ‘When I was well, she hurt me more than the broken ribs and fucked up teeth.’
All in all, I know that there are folks from all countries reading this…If you ever get the chance, go there, it is something that I have never experienced before. You just think two things:
1. Is this no a bit good!!
2. I’m insignificant. Mother Nature tops us all!!!

Welcome to our TEN YEAR CELEBRATION. We reckoned that merited capitals. And no, we are not shouting. Or maybe we are in that excited child-like type of way but less annoying.
We will have our usual bits and pieces and something that let’s us give a nod to Leila.
You see throughout this posting we will have ‘Ten Tens For Ten Years’ – These will be ten lists that we thought would be of some interest.

We have a bit of history between us all. In all sorts of ways and I was thinking on where our name came from. We threw a few bits and pieces together and ‘Literally Stories’ is what we came up with.

Week 152 is now upon us!!
Maybe it’s just me but I sometimes get a line or phrase that I want to use but aren’t sure if what I’m getting at would be clear.
That happened to me this week with this line:
…Only folks of those days could keep up with folks of those days.
That was what gave me a wee bit of inspiration for this weeks posting.

Week 499 is now here.
Something came up this week that I want to address and that’s commenting.
This isn’t about any of you lovely people, it’s about my thinking when I comment.
This was brought to light when Dale commented on one of Leila’s early stories and I looked back to remind myself of the tale. I found that there was nothing from me.
