“I’ll rip it up to shreds and let it go.”

Hi, How was Christmas? I hope it went well and if you were with family, that it wasn’t too much of a trauma. 🙂 Things went well here and the planning over early Xmas shopping – not to mention the speedy wrapping – all paid off. The Ever Lovely Mrs Jones did rather well, by her own admission, not mine. Wee Man was all made up over the amount of Lego he got and Little Miss? She was happy playing with her toys too. Throw grandparents into the mix and a good meal and really, I think we did pretty well. On the present front, Mrs J surprised me with some early gifts. “You’ll have to open these on Xmas […]

Hi folks, Only a few more hours until the big day eh? Excited yet? Panicking over those last minute gifts or reading up on tomorrow’s massive cook-a-thon? That was ‘cook’ by the way and nothing rude, but lets move on eh? :-)I’d like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and I hope that 2011 is kind to your and yours. If Christmas isn’t your bag – socially or religiously – then happy holidays if nothing else 🙂 The presents are all wrapped and stashed. The TARDIS like fridge freezer is packed with goodies, ready to be baked & primped as the hordes descend tomorrow. I’ve had a large G & T  (Ed: hic), so it’s time to finish off […]

“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…”

Festive greets! 🙂 I hope all is well with you and yours. All sorted on the shopping front? Personally, I’m done. The Jones Massive have pulled together – no, not like that – and the present cupboard is fuller than Jordan’s bra. Present-wise, there’s lots of stuff for the nippers and quite a lot for Mrs J too. I guess I like to spoil all of them and it’s only money right? It’s just the wrapping to get out of the way and I’m not really looking forward to that. 🙂 Still, on with a few choice tunes and just get stuck in. I had the good fortune to visit a friend during the week and in addition to lots […]

“So looking for answers if only one,
Turn my back the urge has gone.”

Hey folks, I look at the white space of the input form and lots of ideas flit around my head. Trouble is, holding on to one long enough to get it out and on to paper. 🙂 The snow seems on the way out as the weather just about returns to normal. Not more icy windscreens and life-in-your-hands walks along the pavement. Well, at least until the next big snowfall 🙂 This week was shorter – work-wise – than usual because I had a few days off. One to look after Wee Man as he wasn’t 100% bless him. He – and then us (natch) – got hit by the heavy cold that’s doing the rounds at the mo. Still, […]

“Oh the weather outside is frightful….”

Hi, Funny, I can’t think of that song lyric without thinking of Die Hard. Guess it’s an age thing. 🙂 How’s things with you out there in blogland? All good I trust. For those of you outside of the UK, we’ve had quite a large amount of snow. Despite Hollywood showing a British Christmas as flowing sea of pure white drifts, the truth – as per – is somewhat different. Mostly November/December is dark, cold and mostly rainy. Except for this last week anyways 🙂 This time around the snow has been pretty heavy and it’s been unusually cold too. Certainly a lot colder than a more typical November. Speaking personally, I think we got off pretty likely hear in the East […]

“And you will be so happy to know,
I’ve come alone, it’s over.”

Hi, I’m a bit stumped on how to start this post. Not through any requirement to put out a massively important message, I guess it’s just breaking in the white space. Did you ever get that feeling when you got a new exercise book at school? That first sheet was somehow sacred because it was unmarked and full of what might be. Then again, I may just be being a bit of a mentalist. 😉 Anyway, let’s start with some good news shall we? As way of a change 😉 Whatever synergy it was that’s sent the old Black Dog on holiday has kept working its mojo. I’ve felt… well, just kinda normal over the last few weeks. Okay, as […]
