Year: 2010

Hey all, The last few days seem to have gone by in a bit of a blur. Time has revved up and stood still. Work-stuff, home-stuff and trans-stuff all floating around at once. What do I need to do? What to wear next week? Where am I going next? I think I’m over the jet lag (Ed: I should think so too, lazy mare), so I’m back in the groove of stumbling out of bed after another late night. Perhaps turning in pre-PM would help, but never mind eh? Apologies for the lateness of this post. I arrived home on Friday to find that our Internet connection was dead to the world. Oh well, I guess I’ll be catching up […]

Hi folks, So much for Final Destination – thankfully 🙂 How’s things with you? All good I trust! Yes, I’m back and just about over the jeg lag. The flight was rather long and yes, we were both nervous. Yet, the Fates smiled and nothing serious happened. Yay! Everyone was fine at home and there was smiles all round when we got back. Indeed, a couple of midweek telephone calls seemed to find Wee Man in unusually high spirits, I don’t know what Granny had been feeding him, but it can’t be legal. (Ed: Child Services, if you’re reading this, that was a joke). Much as I enjoy a bit of travel – except maybe flying – it was good […]

Hi folks, The old song line – 24 little hours – rings true once again. A good night’s kip and a walk in the refreshing Spring weather has helped lift a small weight from my shoulders. Nothing serious I hasten to add, just the welcome return of a slight smile instead of the troubled brow. So, in the words of a barman talking to a horse: why the long face? 🙂 Iffy jokes aside, the last few days have been a bit frantic. I had a dose of flu… proper in-bed-hot-and-cold-shivery-flu… not the man flu that we blokes normally get. As in, sssh, don’t tell the wife… a cold 🙂 I was okay after about two days of resting up. […]

Hi folks, Crikey. Where to start? It’s been one of those odd few days were both nothing and everything seems to have happened. Does that make it a quantum effect or more that I’m just confused? Let’s move on! 🙂 It was time for a meeting with the Chameleons Group t’other night. The Centre’s doors have been changed as part of the renovation work and for a short time, we were locked out. Luckily some of the Centre’s other tenants were kind enough to let us in… at least they did when I knocked loudly on the fire escape door. Maybe we need a key for the group? Something to email the site managers over I guess. Following on from […]

Hey all, There are times, as a blogger, when the well runs a little dry. It’s not that you’ve got the curse of writer’s block – although I guess you’d have to be a writer to qualify for that 😉 No, instead, and at least for me, there’s this fog. A dull grey nebulous sensation of uninspiring meh. I know that’s not a word, but just go with me on this for a mo, okay? 🙂 I guess, there’s nothing I have to get off my chest. No tales to share or point to make. But, and to be honest with you, I feel that that’s laziness on my part. You make the time, dear reader, to subscribe to these […]

Hi, How’s things? All going well I trust. Today I had the good fortune for a day off: just me and Little Miss with the run of the house. There goes the neighbourhood! 🙂 Some father daughter time. As I write this, she’s having a much needed kip after a morning of running around in gleeful abandon. That level of energy and joy that only small kids seem to pull off. Me? I’m recovering from trying to keep up with her. Still, cheaper than the gym and much more of a laugh 🙂 Chameleons came and went yesterday evening. It was a packed night, not so much with any particular event, but the number of people who made the effort […]
