“Donald, where’s your troosers?”

Hi folks, I’m posting a bit later than usual as I’ve been messing around with the Facebook code within the blog. I guess I just got my geek on and got lost in the idea of finding out who was hitting the like option. Ho hum. Something for another day perhaps! Maybe it would just have been easier to ask, but never mind eh? 😉 Shop Earlier in the week I had the good fortune to finish a little earlier than usual. I’d gone to a customer site and having made a bit of progress on what the problem was (Ed: some IT thing. Just don’t ask, ‘k?), I wasn’t going to make it back to the office to do […]

“I’m back and ready to go,
From the rooftops shout it out, shout it out!”

Hello Dear Reader, So much to blog and yet so little planning. Let’s start at the beginning, shall we? Yup, I’ve hit that midway milestone that is 40 years. I was…. back in my late 30s, strangely concerned by this number. Which is, now I’m older, wiser (!) and in a different age bracket, unsure of what all the fuss was about. I still feel like I did in my 20s, although I’m a bit more sure of myself and there are a fair few more miles on the clock. Other than that, all is well. The odd thing is, when do I start planning for my mid-life crisis? I’ve done the motorbike, tattoo, long hair, earring and dodgy outfits… […]

“Too much is not enough.
Nobody said this stuff makes any sense,
We’re hooked again.”

Hi, How’s it going with you? Me? Oh, a bit of a strange week – or perhaps more accurately, one of highs and lows. On the positive side, I’ve managed to pretty much clear my work do list and I’ve really managed to crack on with a few personal projects too. All good stuff really and unlike some work activities, they’ve been quite fun to do…. which makes a nice change! 😉 As it’s my birthday this coming week (yay me, but also a scary number. Eeek!), the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones has been kind enough to book us a cottage somewhere quiet. Plus my in-laws (outlaws?) have kindly offered to look the nippers…. as said offspring will be at […]

Get up
Throw yo hands in the air
Get up show no fear
Get up if yall really care

Hey, How’s things? I am, as regular readers may have noted, a day late. There is – thankfully and luckily – no major drama behind why I’m writing tonight and not on Friday. Basically, Sophie and I were fixing a lawn mower. Yes, that is the high level of high fashion glamour that I get up to off-blog and away from Chameleons 😉 Fixing a mower on a Friday night. How rock & roll, eh? 😉 But, in truth, I am very thankful. Soph worked her mechanical magic in making said equipment work once again. It’s certainly saved me from a significant outlay and, quite possibly, unpleasant back pain from having to use the other older mower that’s snoozing in […]
