Year: 2010

Hiya, Good week? Mine’s been mixed. Don’t get me wrong, everyone is in good health and the Bad Luck Fairy has been elsewhere too. All good stuff… and yet… I’m rather worn out. I’m fairly sure it wasn’t the mowing from t’other night, nor the long trek we took for lunch today. No, it’s more that mental weariness that can sometimes creep up on you. Maybe a weekend of visiting friends & family and the local park is just what I need. Let the mental muscles relax for a bit and see if that helps. A few days ago I had the vague thoughts towards a blog post and as I daydreamed my way though it in the car, it […]

Hi folks, The big party was just what the doctor ordered – and that’s not a reference to the Tory + Libs coalition love in either (Ed: No, you hang up first. No you.). Tsk, and there was me trying to avoid talking about politics! 🙂 Not sure if I can still class myself as a ‘t girl’ when I’m not that far off the big four oh, but who’s counting eh? 🙂 So, the big event! Dare I say it all went very well and it made all the running around & last minute panic worth it. Last week, as you may have already read, I did nip into town to get a few bits and bobs. The outcome […]

Hi, Sometimes there’s no easy way to rattle off a blog post. I find that if I think about it too much, the words won’t come and I’m left staring at the cursor, while phrases and ideas zip around my head. You just have to let go and accept the deep dive… Early Friday Damn, I’ve stalled again. I guess part of me is in someway putting off what I want to write about. Okay, deep breath. In a few hours or so, I shall be taking our dog to the vets. Yet, it’ll only be me coming back. He’s a old boy, bless him, and he’s not been well. We’ve been to the vets on and off over the […]

Hi there, It’s Friday – or at least it is as I type this – so it must be time for another weekly blog post huh? [ insert long pause here ] This week has been a bit odd. It feels a bit like I’ve been treading water. So much seems to have come in – at home and at work – that I can’t seem to swim fast enough to make any progress (Ed: keep flogging that analogy). There’s nothing major / serious – although we did have a bit of a worry about the dog’s health – just a continue flow of stuff that needed to be sorted out. But… it’s a long weekend now – thanks to the […]

Hiya, Earlier in the week Some weeks I start my blog posts way before Friday. Sometimes there’s something I want to talk about or a point I feel that needs to be made. Other times it’s a case of something to do – an exercise in writing for no reason other than the fun of it. I had had a few thoughts tucked away for this post, however, having failed to write them down, they have floated off into the ether. So it goes sometimes.  With luck, they come back. In a way, I like to keep an idea in my head and turn it over, like the sea would a pebble, until the rough edge have been worn smooth. Then again, […]

Hiya, The slightly empty blogger post box looks back at me. I can think of stuff to write about, but it’s beginning it. I mean, I don’t know about you, but I do seem to wheel out the same starter lines. (Ed: You’ve just said one there 😛). Anyways, enough with the written warbling – to business! 🙂 What’s been going on? Well, Mrs Jones had a business trip away – so I was house husband for a time. To be honest though, I did rather enjoy it and it beats sitting, staring at a computer screen trying to coax someone else’s system design into life. Luckily the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones’s return trip was not affected by the ash […]
