He’s a man by day, but he’s a woman at night.”

Hi, The week gone has been a bit unusual. For a start, the house has been only half full as both the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones (Ed: TELMJ?) and Wee Man haven’t been in. The latter was visiting his cousins and, as I write, still is, while *ahem* TELMJ is making her way back from a week long course somewhere down south. That’s left me holding the toddler, so to speak. That’s been nice, lots of father/daughter time: plenty of cuddles, a few books, an occasional snack and the odd tantrum. Her, not me, as way of a change 🙂 I think we are coming out of the Terrible Twos, so Little Miss’s language has really come on. I’ve really missed Mrs […]

Hi everyone, This evening I’m unusually tired and for that reason, and hopefully that alone, I’m a little out of it at the mo. With luck, a good night’s kip will set me right. But, it is Friday and Friday night is blogging night. I suppose in some odd way, I have my own personal deadline and if I break it, I wonder if I’ll get out of the habit of regular writing. Well, lets see where this week’s stream of consciousness takes us then eh? 🙂 Health – or perhaps more accurately, head-wise – I’ve been pretty good. I think the malaise over the last day or so is just tiredness. Nothing to panic about and really, would panicking […]

Hiya, It doesn’t seem long since I was here a few days ago, typing stuff away into the blogger input form. I suppose the rush of time – or to use the technical term: ‘whoosh’ – goes that much quicker when you have time off. I’ve had most of this week away to look after Wee Man. He is, of course, on summer holiday and there are only so many summer camps a lad can go to. So it was time for some father/son time. Building Lego, walks in the countryside, a trip to the local park, video games and a few choice films. All in all I had a great time and I hope he did too. The English […]

“No more stillness, more sunlight,
Everything’s gonna be alright”

Hey folks, How’s things with you? Shall I get the good news out of the way? That’s not to belittle it. The week before last – if I’ve got my dates right – was my last dip. For the last week or so, I’ve felt… normal. I don’t feel under a cloud, just the normal (re: minor) ups and downs you get as part of living. I must say, it’s very welcome. Yay indeed. On Thursday gone, a number of the Chams folks headed off to Derby for a meal out. I’ve not had the gossip on what went on, but I’m hopefuly it all went well (update: according to the forum, yes). The reason I didn’t go is that […]
