Month: September 2009

Hey folks, Larks, unusually for me I’ve left today’s blog entry to the last minute. In the last few months I’ve been writing ahead of myself during the week (if that makes sense), so I’ve got something ready for Friday night. This week? Well, I’ve just been up to this & that and with a lack of anything to get off my chest, ummm, it’s a bit quiet 🙂 Still, quiet is good neh? The old cliche about ‘interesting times’ aside, quiet can’t be over-rated some days. A little slow time can be good. It gives you space to catch up with things you’ve been meaning to do. It also lets you look back and take stock of where you […]

Hi everyone, Good week so far? I hope so. It’s not been a bad one at my end. By the time you read this, I’ll be on my way to being another year older. Crikey. The Big Four Oh is closer than the slightly smaller Three Oh, but it’s better than the alternative! 🙂 Besides, I hear life begins at 40, so I’ve a few years to try and find out what that means.

Like my Dad said about Christmas, it’s not so much […]

There have been a number of programmes on this week, but honestly, I didn’t want to watch them. Our family wasn’t affected directly by those awful events, but I do remember feeling…. what? I guess a state of shock at the time. I can’t imagine what […]

Hey good people! This week has gone by in a shot. Mind you, having the extra long weekend certainly helped… as did a bit of extra leave tacked on the end. I’ve hardly been at work this week, but at home with the family instead. Good stuff. I had originally written “Larks, this week has…” but it felt a little too Blackadder II. Still, if Hugh Laurie can go from playing The Stupid Prince to a hard edged surgeon, I guess there’s hope for us all in re-invention. 🙂 Here in Nottinghamshire, school is open once more and it was time to make some sarnies, pack a bag and try to find the missing school shoe. How is it kid’s […]
