Hi folks, I’m sat here nursing a very large mug of tea, wondering how I should start this post off. Silly really. I’ve been here a few minutes, mulling over how to get going, when really, it’s probably just best to get stuck in. Stream of consciousness, seat of the pants, hang the editor, etc (Ed: Oi!) Today, was one of those proverbial rays of sunshine when everything just seemed to click into place and all is good with the world.

Hi, Tiredness: which is not what I’d planned to write about today, but it seems a strange, sometimes sneaky, beast. It’s the end of the week and, as I’ve said before, I find there’s a certain level of magic about the weekend. Perhaps it’s the idea of promise; that you’ve a whole three nights and two days to do what you want. Anything from reading, lying about, to walking, going swimming, baking, cooking, visiting friends & family, to the more everyday necessities of grocery shopping. Yet tonight, I nodded off on the sofa. I was comfortable and I felt my eyes start to grow heavy. Now, there are a few things in life I can resist and a few that […]
