Joe’s blog – Boys’ Night In
As usual, I was sitting comfortably watching TV when Snow White rang the door bell.

Joe’s Blog – Man versus Woman
Although I do not wish to disappoint my Blog Reader, I fear that this, my latest, may do so.
Joe’s Blog – Twead Reflections
I am sitting in the lamp with Genie, hiding from The Dear One (TDO) who is searching for me.
“Joe! Are you hiding in the lamp again?”
“Yes, dear.”
“Well come out at once! I have some chores for you to do.”
Joe’s Blog – Simply out of this world
So far, blog-readers, I’m sure you’ll agree, my tales have related nothing extraordinary and are comfortably within the experiences of any everyday Joe or Josephine. Who has not ordered an iceberg, from either pole, available from any reputable online shop?
Joe’s Blog – Oh Oh Oh!

Even The Dear One is unaware of my Alter Ego. As a member of Military Intelligence, my code name is Treble Zero. Now and then I touch base with HQ in London where I am afforded the respect due a top field agent.

Joe’s Blog – Plotting my return
I was sitting comfortably in the lamp with my feet on Genie’s soft fat belly, watching the Olympics. (A doubting reader should note that this is a magic lamp and therefore anything is possible.) It will be remembered (see my previous Blog) that Miss Carrie Compton had usurped my position in the main house, following my dismissal by Vicky, The Dear One (TDO). Read more…
Joe’s Blog – Who will she choose?
Despite being dumped in exchange for Miss Ostrich, (see previous blog) Miss Vicky never gave up on me. Somehow she knew that her new rival harboured sinister motives, and hoped to reveal them to me before I was completely converted to the Dark Side. Read more…
Joe’s Blog – An Apology
My sincerest apologies if I offended any of Victoria’s friends in my first blog, and I would very much like to redress the balance with a fairer description of her character.Read more…
Joe’s Blog – You have to start somewhere
All my life, at least since I was 9, I have wanted to be a writer. Now that I am aged and ancient the experiment is long overdue. I have made several previous attempts but each has ended in tears, all my own.Read more…
