“Do what you what you want,
till you don’t want it anymore,
(remember who you really are)”

Greetings and felicitations, A day off today which made a nice change… well, a change from the two previous weeks of being on a sick note, but let’s move on eh? 🙂 So, first week back at work over and done with. Okay, one day physically at work and then – because of lack of transport – working from home. Now, I don’t mind the odd day at home working remotely. It’s nice to get out of the office and have uninterrupted time to get stuff done. But, in all honesty, I missed being in and being part of the banter and general hubbub. I remember Sartre’s famous quote ‘Hell is other people’ and the article the accompanying article by psychologists disproving it. 🙂 We’re […]

“In the satisfaction stakes,
It’s like sitting on the number nine bus”

Hi, So, last week on sick leave before I go back to work. It’s been different being off it physically, but with it mentally. What I mean is, when you’re ill, like with flu or a bad stomach, your brain is a little all over the place while your body attempts to get over the situation. This time around, despite an amount of ‘ow’, I am fairly with it, so it’s been good in that I’ve been able to catch up on reading and enjoy life in the slow lane. Taking the dog out for a few long walks – well, at least when it wasn’t chucking it down – and it’s been good being home when the kids come back […]

“Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery,
Weaving time in a tapestry “

Hello one and all, Larks, it’s been warm of late. I’ve been out and about – well, dog walking at least – without a coat, hat or scarf for the last few days. It’s making for a very strange January, as typically, it’s rather chilly in this part of the world. Odd, as a few places – of similar latitude? – seem to have many inches of snow. Small mercies eh? 🙂 So what’s been going on? In some ways, not much – which given last week’s incident, is just fine by me! 😀 I’m signed off work while my arm and shoulder recover. I find it a little odd as mentally, there’s not much wrong with me. Stop that laughing […]

“you should watch – watch your stay here,
don’t look out you’re gonna break your neck”

Hi, Wow, first post of the New Year. I trust you had a good break over the festive period. From a blogging point of view, I was all prepped for a nice, quite week and I’d been tapping my creative reserves over what to talk about. Well, it seems the hand of Fate had other ideas for this week. Sitting comfortably? Then allow me to explain…. 🙂 Tuesday morning rolled around and as per, Wee Man, Little Miss and I were packed into my little car to head off on the school run. Off we went and then the next thing I remember is waking up – yes, waking up – with both children crying, we’ve stopped and a number […]
