Yo! Did you have a good Easter break? In fact, did you get a break over Easter? Not everyone does these days. Luckily for me, I did. Not that I’m one to gloat. Well, okay, maybe a bit 🙂 The other night – at NottsChams – we had a dress code incident. Which is kinda funny (not funny ho ho) because officially we don’t have a dress code. I appreciate that there is a certain amount of irony in a group of TG folk reporting what is proper attire. 🙂 Heh, proper attire, makes me sound like some school ma’am. 🙂 Now I’m not talking about short skirts or low tops. It’s more – how can I put this tactfully? […]

Hey there unbelievers 🙂 The Easter holidays are upon us once again. Let’s here it for bank holidays! What follows is a bit of a retro-post. Not so much ‘What Lynn Did Next…’ but some back story. A couple of days ago I got in touch with an old school friend (IT is a small world) and we got talking. He – let’s call him ‘B’ – was my best mate at primary school and, for a time, at secondary school too. I remember not fitting in with the other boys in class. They liked fighting and football, I liked Banarama* and books. Alarm bells anyone? 🙂 But B didn’t care and we were mates through the end of the […]

Howdy pardners, It is, as someone once said “it’s the little things.” Sometimes Lady Luck smiles on you. One The other day I was circling a full car park with Wee Man in the back – who *really* wanted to go the park and not wait 10 mins while I found a space. As a looped back, someone pulled out and we slipped straight in. The rain that was forecast never arrived and I found a tenner in my wallet. Two Earlier in the week – after the wind had died down – I made a trip into town for a spot of shopping. I was running low on tights having put my finger through my fishnets and then laddered […]

Hiya, How you doing? This week has been a bit up and down. Lurching at work from crisis to quiet spot in as many hours. While some say that you should leave home life at the door of work (something I don’t subscribe to), it’s equally hard to leave work just at the office when you come home. If you’re fried from work, your fried from work. Luckily, it is now the weekend and so thoughts of reports, emergency project meetings and system builds can be locked away with the work laptop, put aside until Monday morning. 🙂 My ability to blog – such that it is – varies based on how tired I am. I read recently that “there […]

Hiya, So did you watch it? It being Beeb 3’s Mrs In-Betweeny. The show was part of BBC3’s new drama selection; a raft of one off programmes all with a different theme. I don’t know if BBC3 is pushing the boat with some of the story lines – inasmuch that they’re left of your typical drama slot centre – or if they’re using them to test the water for a full series. Who can say? Foo Action and Being Human were both well worth watching (IMO). Different, I feel, is good. Push the medium a little, take a few risks. You never know, something very cool may come out of it. I thought Amelia Bullmore played the character of Emma/Brendan […]
