To dress, or not to dress?
That is the question.

Hi, As I write this, I’m sat using the Ever Lovely Mrs J’s laptop, far away from Jones Towers. It’s half-term, so despite a bit of rush, we managed to get the kids out of school early and up to the North of England. Me being me, I’m using some remote control software to connect back home. I’m always slightly concerned that one day, a holiday home owner will find YATGB. Oh well, plain sight and all that eh? 🙂 Shoes With the weather turning warmer, I’ve ditched my usual walking boots and switched to my Converse trainers. Yes, in Richard mode, I have two sets of shoes. Three, if you count some interview / posh dos. Four if you […]

A little respect

Hi, Apparently, it was IDAHoBiT the other day.  A day to push back against homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia. Ideally, we wouldn’t need a day to remind certain folk not to be, shall we say, a little less accepting of us, than we’d like. But, hey, 50% of the human population is female, and we’ve still not quite cracked the idea of treating each other equally.

Dad Duties This week gone I’ve been holding the fort as the Ever Lovely Mrs J has been away on business. Granny J has been over to help pick the kids up twice, as that’s really helped. Especially as work has become rather busy. Still, at least the day goes quickly. So, no visit to Chams this week for Yours Truly. I did wonder […]

Show, don’t tell

Hi, Well, I’m knackered. Not that lack of sleep a bit tired kinda gig. But the thought of how long I have before my brain switches off, and…. Oh, it’s just gone. 🙂 So, this week I’ve been out of the office and running some training events. Each one is about two hours, and I’m up on my feet for all of that (apparently training people while doing handstands is considering showing off. Who knew? 🙂 ). So, there’s two of those a day, with about an hour or so’s travel between venues, plus set up and somehow, getting the all important cup of tea in. But, I am not complaining. At least, I hope it’s not coming across that […]
