“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 […]

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

Hey all, I remember Monday fairly well. The journey to school, packing bags, wading through work emails. After that, everything seems like a bit of a blur. Not a drunken or robotic loss of memory, just… well, this big rush and then I found out it was Thursday. I like my time at work to go quickly, but maybe not quite so quickly! 🙂 Funny, but as a kid, you’d be sat in your least favourite lesson – Maths, no French… no, most of them if I’m honest – and how the time dragged. A whole 40 minutes of being sat at a desk. But now? Forty minutes is just a good kip or a ride home if the traffic’s bad. I […]

With a smile from Lady Luck and a few TXTs, I got the meeting agreed with the Avon Ladies. I had a slight wardrobe brain fail on the Wednesday and so I did my usual of packing two outfits. This time, the kilt-style skirts, new top, leggings, spare tights, two sets of boots and some skinnies just in case. Maybe that was a tad overkill, even for me, but despite trying to lay the items on the bed and decide, my mind was a bit […]

“If you only knew what the future holds,
After a hurricane comes a rainbow…”

Hi folks, How’s things? All good I trust. In my neck of the woods? Okay now, but the start of the week… well, I think I had to prepare a spare bed for the Black Dog. Irksome so-and-so, he’d moved in over the weekend. Why I’ve not idea, maybe trans stuff or maybe just a slump in the old brain chemistry. I wish I knew. 🙂 Still, plenty of work and some good laughs with the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones and that sent him packing. I’ve just got in – hence the later than usual post – from a very nice meal with Mrs J. Not so good for the waistline, but certainly very good for the soul. While we […]
