Money, money, money

Uncategorized

Hi, With the summer hols in full swing, it’s been a doddle to zip down the ring road and into work. No more school run for me for a few weeks and plenty of people away on holiday too. As such, I’m ahead on my hours and an early start, means an early finish in my book. All good reasons for a good mood. Oh, and it’s Friday. Woo! And it was Chams last night, Woo hoo! 🙂 Talking of good things, Sandi and I have been on the look out for a way to help boost the group’s funding. Luckily we didn’t go ahead with our currency speculation or pole dancing club. Much as the latter would have been […]

“What sorcery is this?”

Uncategorized

Hidey ho, In an effort to avoid the last few weeks of ‘bugger, it’s Friday and I’ve not written anything’, I’m going to strike while the iron is hot. Or, in more modern language, get ma shit together 🙂 BTW, if any of you know anyone who talks like that, get help as there’s a risk of being stuck in 90s Slacker talk. Moving on…. Home-front As I type – or more accurately swipe -this post, I’m currently sat at home on a work day, enjoying the warm sunshine in our newly tidied up conservatory. Thing is, we’ve used it as a bit of a dumping ground come play area and it was, frankly, a mess. Cue a busy weekend […]

A series of lessons

Uncategorized

Hi, After last week’s post in which I reset and started over, you’d think that I’d start to keep a note of ideas. An idea came to me as I was listening to the radio and driving to work. Ah, I must put that on a slip of paper, I thought to myself… and then promptly forgot. Gah! I guess this is what separates the triers from the capable, eh? Still, lessons learned! Note to self: make a note quickly. 🙂 The long drought of all Jack and no Jill – I so hope that’s not slang for something kinky – has been broken, as it was Chameleons in what was starting to feel like an age. So it goes […]

Trousers: it’s all in the cut

Uncategorized

Hi, It’s been a long two weeks since the last Chameleons. A *ahem* mere 21 days between meetings, but who’s counting? 🙂 In days go by, I think I would have been thinking about climbing the walls. As time has gone on (Ed: nearly as much as you have, dear), some times, the gaps don’t seem as bad. Maybe it’s the weather, or the gentle acceptance that I’ll be fab again soon enough, I don’t seem to get into the funk that I once did. Reasons to be cheerful eh? 🙂 Talking of looking back, I was at work the other day when a colleague passed me, wearing some rather fancy, tailored trousers. There was that brief moue from the […]

Quiet reflection

Uncategorized

There are times when the words tumble from me like so much water over a cliff. Out they pour, backed by the need to get The Thought clear of my mind and to the screen, to freedom. This may be a blog post, a joke or even a scene from some imagined story. A short burst of clarity where all is as it should be and there is only the fast clack of keys, or the rushing patterns swiped around the smartphone’s screen. Those moments of brilliance are fanned with urgency. A haste to ride the thoughts as far as they’ll take me because in a moment, the everyday will crash in and the glorious flood of creativity will run […]
