“Nice day for a… white wedding.”

Uncategorized

Hello dear reader, Unlike last week, I have managed to remember what day I usually post on. 🙂 With all these holidays, my internal clock is a little all over the place, but it’s been so nice to have the time off. Easter, then Bank Holidays, a day off and today (of course), the big event itself. Don’t worry, I won’t go into in-depth sofa-eye-view of Kate & Wills’ wedding. The media reporting got on my wick a bit and if I’m really honest, sort of put me off a little. Still, sat on the sofa with the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones, we watched the church service together. Kate’s dress was lovely and I wish them well. Talk about media […]

“Dark clouds drift away to reveal, the sunshine”

Uncategorized

Hi, Straight off the bat, I’d like to thank those of you who were kind enough to get in touch last week offering advice or simply the question “are you okay?”. I’m a lot better than I was last week. Phew eh? 🙂 Not to make light of it, although that is very much my way of coping with sh**, is to mock it. The previous week was not a good one and as I look back it at now – with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight – the return of the Black Dog was only temporary. Of course, when you’re down in the murk, you can’t really see  a way out of it. Perhaps some type of torch would […]

“Bridges I’ve been dreaming, are going down,
They’re changing my future.”

Uncategorized

Hey all, Today, I wanted to write something positive. To be the bearer of good news or a good gag. Neither are in abundance right now and this annoys me. What I want is to be rid of the darkness that tumbles within my head. It robs me of interest and joy; a fug through which I see the world. Disconnected. I have an appointment to see the quack – sorry, doctor – later this month and I think we were going to talk about coming off the happy tablets. Thing is….. I don’t think I’m ready for that. Not yet. Whatever’s lurking in my psyche, it hasn’t gone away. Sure, the treatment has helped – hell, I’m still here – but […]

“Incase of upheaval, fundamental movement below,
What’s really going on I want to know,
But yo, we don’t show on the outside, so slide.”

Howdy y’all As I type, I’m somewhat full of a rather nice tea. That’s the second nosh-out in as many days. Not that I’m complaining, I should add. While it might not be so good for the waistline, it most certainly is good for the soul. For the first time in a while, myself and the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones were without the nippers. Wee Man was at a sleep over and Little Miss was at Granny’s. So what to do? Well, probably what most middle class farties do: to the gastropub! 🙂 Glib comments aside, we both had a lovely meal together. I was great not to have to rush back and just relax in each other’s company. It’s […]

“Come take a trip with me, to Future World”

Uncategorized

Hiya, I had jotted some notes down on a bit of paper for today’s post. Thing is, I got busy at work. Friday afternoon is not the time for meetings. Actually, is any time a good time for a meeting? 😉 I find that trying stuff just for the craic works best on a Friday. That bit of technical wizardry you’ve put off and now the office is quiet, you can get your head around the problem. Anyhoo, after a bit of thinking outside the box, the development systems can now do few more things can it could before. Yay for results. Seems I’m not the only one who’s been bashing the scripting rocks together either. Blogger have released a […]
