About gandalfstwin OGGMSTKMBGSUIKWIATA
Who am I?
I am gandalfstwin. many, many years ago, I was Gandalf the White, and am author of Preston, Lancashire,UK, My Hometown. But a cruel twist of fate (a car smashing its way into my lounge) robbed me of my PC. A further blow fell when my wife and I employed a totally unscrupulous gentleman to persue our insurance claim. He robbed us of £24,000.00!!! IT IS TRUE!!!

The only reason I have now got a PC is because we have sold the house, so now I am rich, and can afford a brand new, sparkling, up-to date monster!!

If you want to know more, just go to Gandalf the White (Still Redundant-Got my own Comp now)!!

Tara for now

Drew the Dog
2 Weeks Ago

Drew the Dog??

More like Drew the devil dog !!

Tuesday evening....all OK!

Wednesday, the sod showed his true colours.......


Pushed missus off her feet, I tried to rescue, got a bite in return....

Rang rescue centre, they promised to pick up..........Thursday!!!!

So we had another night with 'IT'......

Obviously, the previous owners played 'Rough' with Drew.

When at rest, he was good!!

When he wanted to play, and we did not, he got upset, and started the rough stuff.

Missus has bruises, I have bled....


Drew picked up today, and another rescue brought in Drew's place.

If this works out, it should be OK

(Can't be worse!)

Oh What a Beautiful Morning!!!
Oct 26, 2009

I was very busy yesterday.....

Missus was unwell, and I was tending to her, inbetween doing some work on PC, a bit of writing and sorting some 500 odd photos into neat folders........(Must get round to doing some labelling and fixing, but that can wait........

Oh What a Beautiful Day!!!!

Forgot all about footie yesterday, and was not concentrated on telly.

Imagine my delight when I was watching BBC Breakfast TV, and found out that the BRILLIANT Liverpool had stuffed United 2-0!!!
