Drop me off outside Straightsville

Looking Back, Posiblogging, Uncategorized

Hi, Eh, there’s a lot going on upstairs in the old noggin- just not necessarily, anything with focus or structure. Yes, it may be one of those posts! 🙂 Tech stuff A few things to get out of the way. Feel free to skip over these. Well, TBF, you could skip over any or all of my ramblings! 🙂 I’ve kept the switchover to a different CAPTCHA and I am hoping that that will be easier for you to use. The previous one seemed to have a habit of some sort of time out, where a comment might get thrown away. Annoying to say the least! The new one is open source and does not send any data off YATGB […]

Stepping stones

Posiblogging, Uncategorized

Hi, How’s things with you? Hopefully good! Flown the nest Last weekend Child 2.0 and I made our way up the country to help settle him in to his chosen university. The Ever Lovely Mrs J stayed home to keep an eye on the hounds, and because – bless her – she’d come down with a seasonal lurgi. Cue much unpacking, avoiding crowds, and then a wander around the campus to find the important spots. No, not the bar; the library, shop, and next week’s lecture halls. I’m so proud of our boy for facing his social anxiety and taking himself far away from his comfort zone. We’ve kept in touch via messaging (thank you Signal – secure, open source, […]

Little things

Posiblogging

Hi, Today I had the pleasure of some self-care and a morning without anywhere to rush to. Yay for a nonworking day and a stroll through the park to my beauty appointment. Local stuff Well, no rush other than through the traffic, as Nottinghamshire seems to have all of its road upgrades at once 🙂 Not a complaint, given that traditionally, the East Midlands receives less funding on infrastructure and healthcare. However, the city has removed most of the old Broadmarsh shopping centre, and there’s a gorgeous urban park in there now. Work will start soon to remove the remaining concrete structure, and indeed the old multistorey that looms large over Maid Marion Way. The latter was our go to […]

The Tide

Hi, Ah, what to write about today eh, dear reader? Well, it’s not going to be the news because I’m still not reading it. 😐 Apparently there’s been some sports thing involving lots of running about and a ball. I know that doesn’t narrow things down because a lot of sport seems to do with one or both of those requirements. Okay, except archery or shooting, but I find it wise not to rib folk who can assassinate you at a distance. 😉 Umm, not that anyone who excels at such a sport would do such a thing. They’re very lovely people! 😁 Okay, so flippancy aside… Oh, and I was going to call this ratcheting, but apparently that – […]

Serendipity, I guess

Posiblogging, Uncategorized

Hi, As I write this, I’m sat on the dog sofa* enjoying the cooling breeze from the garden. No bifold doors as we’re old school. The sun is mostly behind the high trees from the neighbour uphill, so it’s an absolute joy to enjoy the greenery, birdsong, and slow time. ( * If you have hounds, technically all sofas become dog sofas 😉 ) Under one of the hedges, a blackbird is flicking the fallen leaves around, looking for insects. I do need to get around to trimming the brambles that have built up, but that’s not a hot weather job. I’ll absolutely need some sturdy protection against those thorns. The washing is already done and hung up in the […]

The time between

Hi, I was going to start off by making a wisecrack about being a genderfluid person who’s been struck in one gender for too long. However, it feels a bit meh, given there are many folk who get significantly less freedom than I do. So – and despite me showing said quip, I think it’s better to count my blessings and enjoy what I have. For a start, this week’s been pretty good and the cooler – but still summery – weather has been very pleasant. Child 2.0 continues to sort out the red tape around higher education, and he’s enjoying a very laid back long break. He’s certainly earned it, after all the exams and coursework. Friday Give or […]
