Question time

Uncategorized

Hi folks, I put off writing a post this evening. It’s one of those… two minds sort of things. Instead, I *ahem* busied myself reading what other people have been up to, checked social media and played a computer game or two. If there is one thing I can do well, it’s putting things off. I would probably get a medal in it, although they’d have to post it, because I probably wouldn’t have turned up. 🙂 [ time passes and the delete key gets used a lot ] So, yeah. I did write something, but it’s related to an event at my work and right now, it’s a little too personal to put up on this old blog. Maybe […]

What is it to be a man?

Hiya, Well, that’s the first week in the new job, in the bag. So far, so good, which makes for a very nice change.

Immune System, one. Virus, nil. But not this time! Oh no. Each day was a new variety as the virus decided to ditch the old and switch to something new! So, […]

“Hope will never be silent.”

Hi everyone, First off, happy new year. Yes, I know we’re a week or so into it, but better late than never. The observant amongst you will notice that I didn’t post anything last time. Not that this is a paid for service – and that’s quite possibly a good thing, given the quality :-). It was a combination of not having much to say, not have been up to much and I was very much enjoying watching a film with the kids. My, they are growing up quickly, which – as a friend, Val, once said – they do do that. 🙂 Wee Man is mid way through his first year at secondary school and seems to have settled in […]
