“Yep, I’d rather be called deadly, for my killer show-tune medley (Thank you!)
‘Cause way down deep inside, I’ve got a dream.”

Hello dear reader, How are things on Planet You? Matters at Jones Towers are a little chilly; not from the emotional view, but the physical. The Jones Mansion is undergoing renovation work – an extension to the Polo Lounge (!!) – so we’re without windows in certain parts of the house. Just the gentle breeze and occasional clap of canvas. Still, with luck, the builders will be back in to fit the necessary parts Saturday morning. I’m willing to forgo a Saturday lie-in for the sake of being able to feel my toes when I’m in the back of the house. 😉 Earlier in the week it was the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones’s birthday and armed with a shopping list, […]

“Would you have liked a present too?”

Uncategorized

Hey all, It’s a well worn phrase around this here blog, but this week really has gone by in a flash. I *think* I can remember Tuesday starting and suddenly, it’s Friday night. I’m sure it won’t be long in that I’ll blink and Wee Man will be visiting with his grandchildren. 🙂 It was the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones’ birthday just the other day and that, of course, meant shopping for pressies. Funny, but I do tend to worry a little when shopping for others. Yes, I do buy my nearest & dearest a fair bit, but it’s not a scatter gun approach. There is a method to the proverbial madness: keep an eye on what they’re using, listening […]

“Keith’s gotta big bouffant on,
We all got wigs, so let’s go!”

Hi there, A fistful of ideas about what to write about today and here I am, thinking how to break the white space and just get going. Oh, that seems to have worked. I think it helps – at least, makes it easier to write, if in someway, I’m having a chat with someone. Okay, sure, it’s a bit one sided right now (Ed: no comment), but it’s not IRC is it, it’s a blog. 🙂 Right! To business! What’s been going on? Well, it was the anniversary of meeting The Ever Lovely Mrs Jones this week. Nearly twenty years now. Good grief and yes, she did say: You get less for murder. 🙂 To be fair, she did wait […]

“Whatever may come, the world keeps revolving..”

Uncategorized

Hi everyone, Four years. YATGB has been ticking over for four years. I’m somehow surprised that this little blog of mine has managed a whole 4 years. It’s a combination of things. One, that I’ve kept at it when other hobbys have fallen by the way side and two, that so much has changed. The world, me, my family and many of you too. Talking of you: there’s that magic third factor: you. You good people keep coming back and adding your wit and wisdom to this blog. Without that, it would I feel be far poorer. Just me howling into the void. You make me think. You make me laugh. You let me connect and for that I’m grateful. […]
