Year: 2009

Hi folks, Normally I start my blog posts early in the week. I like to mull over what to talk about, particularly if it’s a little involved or I need to get my head around what I’m going to say. Some weeks though – and this is one of them – I don’t have a particular thought to get down on paper (so to speak). Back in the day, I used to blog like this all the time: live and direct from my head to the keyboard. Although, of late I’ve been starting the posts earlier. Giving them a bit more thought in case I run dry of ideas for Friday night. Today, as I’m at work right now using […]

Hi, In a short while, Blogger will be 10 years old. For those of you who… uhhh… blog on Blogger, you’ve probably seen the article on Blogger Buzz. For those of you who haven’t and those that have and can’t remember, a quick recap: But we want to know more — we want to hear from you about what Blogger has meant to you over the past decade The last 10 years? Woo, that’s a long time. Crikey, I’d be in my 20s and what a time that was. Let’s move on eh? 🙂 Looking at the calendar today, in another few months, it’ll be around 10 years since I came out to the ever lovely Mrs Jones. A post […]

Hey all,How’s things with you? [insert lengthy pause here] Hmmm… Plenty going on in my head right now, but I’ve not yet got my brain around how to type it all up. I guess writing an entry once a week, pretty much every week means there will be some repetition and it’s that that makes me stall. It’s break the flow out of my head and out to the keyboard. Thursday I was off to Chams (sorry, Nottingham Chameleons) for a bit of social. It was a lovely sunny evening and part of me wondered about setting the tables and chairs outside. Still, it was early on and in the UK, you never really know what the weather’s going to […]

Hi, I can’t put it any other way other than: blimey, it’s hot. I suppose I could say Scorchio, but that’s an old Brit TV gag 🙂 Mind you, there’s always Google and YouTube. I tell you what, I was glad I was at work this week… at least some of it has air con! I don’t mind a bit of sun, but regular days of 30C (Ed: not the bra size) just do me in and I bet the kids wouldn’t have liked being couped up in the car nor being daubed with sunscreen until they looked like they’d been rolled in evaporating goose fat. I suppose for those of you from hotter places will be scoffing at my […]

Hey good people! How’s things? It’s been a while hasn’t it? Two lovely weeks away from the general routine! Top stuff indeed. The kids loved it and it was great to spend time altogether as a family and have some fun without having to watch the clock. Weekends and evenings go by so quickly. I dunno about the rest of you out there in the blogosphere (tranesphere?), but I like to have a think about what I’m going to write about (Ed: it doesn’t show. That or you should try harder). Anyways, Monday / Tuesday, not a lot was going on. I mean, there’s only so much I can tell you about the week off and much as I share […]

Hey y’all, Blimey, it’s been warm this week. Shirts and shorts…. and for the men, something similar :0) The warm weather must be making the sap rise ‘cos I’ve had a bit of dodgy comment spam and we had a very iffy email to the Chameleons inbox. Now, I should point out that anyone who emails the group, their comments are kept private. Most of the emails are people asking when and where the meeting is, asking for help about getting there or sometimes offers from companies (more on that later). One of the admins replies; y’know a bit of encouragement, directions or what-not and that’s that. Anyhoo, we’ve been pretty lucky in regards to keeping the *ahem* admirers away. […]
