I Taught Myself How to Grow Old: August 2010
http://itaughtmyselfhowtogrowold.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
I Taught Myself How to Grow Old. Two fatheads, who once crossed paths in low paid employment, mouth off on the topic of music. I Taught Myself How to Grow Old. This blog is a collaboration between Peter D and Kevin T, two ex-record shop workers who once worked together. I Taught Myself How to Grow Old. Is named after a Ryan Adams song that includes the lyrics. Most of the times I got nothing to say. When I do it's nothing and nobody's there to listen anyway. I know I'm probably better off this way'.

Big Jack in Chile Rides Again: April 2007
http://bigjackinchile.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Big Jack in Chile Rides Again. Tuesday, April 10, 2007. RAPA NUI DAY TWO: Part Two. Last stop on Day Two was at a place called Tahai. By the sea, as you can see, and it is a group of five moai, on an ahu, and two lone moai. Also there is a fallen down moai and a boat house base. This is our guide, Andrea, by the boat house. Behind Andrea you can just make out a fallen moai, broken in three. They always break in three apparently. Anyway the locals messed up and broke it, were caught moai handed so were ro...

Big Jack in Chile Rides Again. Saturday, April 7, 2007. Two Posts about Easter Island have popped up in a time line associated with when I started to write them NOT when I when I published them. So I am afraid that you all will have to go to the posts of the 11th and 13th March 2007 to find out about my trip to Easter Island. I will try and re date subsequent posts so they read sequentially. But Blogspot may win! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. RAPA NUI DAY TWO: Part Two.

Big Jack in Chile Rides Again: February 2007
http://bigjackinchile.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Big Jack in Chile Rides Again. Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Went to pay some bills for Kevin yesterday, in cash at the offices. In the cable company office, I went to the common queue to wait for a free till. A lovely Chilena ( female Chilean) took my arm and gently guided me to the Caja Preferencia. The till reserved for people with children, people who are disabled, pregnant females- - - and old men! Thanks a lot baby. See It Writ Large. Want a cheap magnifying glass? As I was to go to 3000 metres plu...

Big Jack in Chile Rides Again: RAPA NUI DAY THREE Part Two
http://bigjackinchile.blogspot.com/2007/05/rapa-nui-day-three-part-two.html
Big Jack in Chile Rides Again. Tuesday, May 15, 2007. RAPA NUI DAY THREE Part Two. Top billing goes to Dana. With the Navel of the World. I thought the nosey parkers and voyeurs amongst you would go straight to the navel anyway. Thanks again for the day Dana. It was good craic. 'Craic' is Irish for good conversation, laughs and a jolly good time. That it was. Noushka has produced a fine 7lb 4oz son at 0315 on Thursday, 10 May 2007. Called James. What's this with the 'J's'. Jack, Joseph and James? 1 The a...

http://bigjackinchile.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Big Jack in Chile Rides Again. Saturday, March 31, 2007. Barely light and the preparations begin. The hair and make up specialists swing into operation like a well oiled machine. The room door was usually closed so I had to tip toe in to get this shot. Maria, radiant from the necklace up. Pity I couldn't get the pink slippers in as well. All on schedule so far. Car and flowers a bit late in arriving so time for this pic of Maria and Dad, Roberto. MEANWHILE, AT THE CHURCH. Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

Big Jack in Chile Rides Again: June 2007
http://bigjackinchile.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Big Jack in Chile Rides Again. Friday, June 1, 2007. RAPA NUI DAY THREE Part Three. Just to go back a step to Day Three Part 2. This is an aerial view of the crater where they do the Easter Island triathlon. It is such a good example of a collapsed volcano crater, I thought that I would put it in. Also back up to the Navel of the World and associated moai. This fallen moai is the biggest one ever known to have been erected. It is also at Ahu Te Pito Kura, and named "Paro". So to set the record straight:.

Big Jack in Chile Rides Again: KIDS
http://bigjackinchile.blogspot.com/2007/04/kids.html
Big Jack in Chile Rides Again. Friday, April 6, 2007. As those of you who have been paying attention will know, there have been a number of assorted children making appearances in this blog. I thought it would be nice to give them a page of their own 'cos they were all smashing and it's easy to overlook them in the weddings melee. (Actually it is not so easy to overlook Pipi as our relationship was, primarily, him hitting me). Sian is Welsh but, hey, somebody has to be. Perhaps he is on the run again.
