Thanks for asking, but my abdominal hernia – referred to recently in this column – is doing extremely well, in fact it’s growing. I am getting so used to having it around that I am thinking of giving it a name. Harry the hernia or Henrietta the hernia, I just cannot decide. Last thing I […]

It is beginning to get a bit chilly in the man cave these days. Summer is clearly over and autumn is here. Nice to look out at, but with a foretaste of winter. Of course, I have all the mod cons here such as electricity, air-conditioning (rarely used) and heat can be delivered by the

I have a shameful admission to make. Until my oldest daughter messaged me to say that Charlie Kirk had been shot, I had never heard of him. He seems to have been a remarkably fearless and articulate debater, a proponent of free speech and politically and spiritually on the side of the angels. He was

I was only half listening to the news at the end of the week, and over the weekend, preoccupied as I was with a five-hour drive to Edinburgh. I’d have followed it closely on the radio in the car but as soon as I put it on Mrs Watson, who likes to drive or be

This column finds the occupant of the man cave in low spirits. Strutting my stuff in the gym about ten weeks ago, I overestimated my strength or underestimated the weight of a couple of kettlebells. Initially I thought I had hurt my back, so I paid a visit to the physio – paying a lot
