Decisions, decisions….

Hi, You know those days, or even weeks, where nothing seems to go right? Well, I’ve had the good fortune that it’s been quite the opposite. Is this vintage yet? After decades on the information not-so-super B road, fast broadband is finally coming to our neck of the woods! At Chez Jones, we’re rather excited about this, so fingers crossed it all goes well on installation day next month. The kids pretty much stream everything they watch these days, and on to tablets, rather than the telly. We shop on-line; I work from home when I can, and Wee Man writes and completes his homework online. Work has been challenging but my coworkers have really pulled the stops out to […]

Asking for it

Uncategorized

Hi, It’s a late post from me this week. I’ve no excuses, dramatic tales of daring do, nor special reasons why. Well, none apart from there’s not much I have to say.

Firstly, as I’m writing this, it’s going to be biased. Secondly, it would be somewhat tedious…. Possibly more so than a regular post 🙂 But hey, moving on. So, yes, I made a mess of things before I went out, and yes, I did upset the Ever Lovely Mrs J. Yes, I did feel bloody awful about it, and yes, I did apologise profusely. Not […]

The Why Factor

Uncategorized

Hi, A couple of weeks ago when TrendCo came to see us, Steph asked me what do I get out of coming to the Chameleons and dressing as Lynn? That’s quite a question, and one I’m not sure I fully answered back then. To Steph and Nicola, I said being in bloke mode most of the time was akin to being at work, and getting to be Lynn, or cross dress if you will, was like a holiday. It’s not that you don’t like work, but a holiday is more chance to switch off. I’m not 100% happy with that, so I guess here’s a chance to try again. The easy part to answer is why come to Chameleons. At […]
