“I graduated from the Universty of Life
and the school of hard knocks, sir”

Uncategorized

Hi, September already huh? How time flies. I’ve picked the last of the blackberries in the garden and the apple trees are looking good. I must resist the urge to make a giant pie, though. That would undo all the good work with the diet. (Ed: Don’t think of yummy, yummy chocolate!) The latter – the diet that is, not the choccy – is going okay and the additional walking means I’m feeling a lot fitter too. I’ve lost a few pounds, but mainly I seem to have toned up in certain areas. Still, better that than no progress at all. I also decided on a spot of shopping as I’d seen a couple of nice dresses on Dorothy Perkins’ […]

“And my feet dont fit in your sensible shoes”

Uncategorized

Hi folks, Midweek I attended a corporate seminar on something that seemed important at the time (Ed: Oh how you sing those praises, Lynn! :-P), which was a welcome distraction from the usual working day. Given the change of venue, many folk were in corporate mode and I did note a few interesting fashion choices. I really don’t mean that in a catty way, but as the word is. Some ladyfolk had opted for the summer dress and flats/gladiator sandals look. Yet, conversely, it seems we can’t quite shake off the requirement for a spot of power-dressing. The fitted sheath dress, killer heels and the working day make-up. Not too much of the latter, just a touch to enhance, rather […]

“Life in a Northern town…”

Uncategorized

Hello again dear reader, I hope all is well with you and yours. Time for another post in the old blog! The week’s been a little busier than usual, mainly due to the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones being away for a while. So, yeah, I was house husband for a bit. While it was a little difficult in places – clearly I’m not quite as with it as my ego would suggest – it was very rewarding. I mean the main thing is the chance to spend a decent amount of time with the kids. There was a fair bit of dog walking, some baking, a bit of Plasticine monster mash (don’t ask) and we were sorted. Anyways, the ELMJ […]

“It’s The End Of The World As We Know It
(And I Feel Fine)”

Uncategorized

Hi everyone out there in t’interweb land,  Argh, brain freeze. 🙂 Where to start? Well, it’s been a pretty good week, all things considered. The weather’s been good, the nippers have kept out of trouble, the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones hasn’t been over-worked and apart from a slight issue with the hound, all is good. Oh, and it’ll be about a week or so, since I reduced the anti-miserabalist tablets and dare I say (Ed: Dare! Dare!) that so far so good. All in all, it’s been rather quiet and relaxing. So there’s not really a lot to report! 😉 Given that I’d not been shopping for sometime, I decided to invest in some rather nice leopard print peep-toe heels. A […]

“Incase of upheaval, fundamental movement below,
What’s really going on I want to know,
But yo, we don’t show on the outside, so slide.”

Uncategorized

Howdy y’all As I type, I’m somewhat full of a rather nice tea. That’s the second nosh-out in as many days. Not that I’m complaining, I should add. While it might not be so good for the waistline, it most certainly is good for the soul. For the first time in a while, myself and the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones were without the nippers. Wee Man was at a sleep over and Little Miss was at Granny’s. So what to do? Well, probably what most middle class farties do: to the gastropub! 🙂 Glib comments aside, we both had a lovely meal together. I was great not to have to rush back and just relax in each other’s company. It’s […]

“Come take a trip with me, to Future World”

Uncategorized

Hiya, I had jotted some notes down on a bit of paper for today’s post. Thing is, I got busy at work. Friday afternoon is not the time for meetings. Actually, is any time a good time for a meeting? 😉 I find that trying stuff just for the craic works best on a Friday. That bit of technical wizardry you’ve put off and now the office is quiet, you can get your head around the problem. Anyhoo, after a bit of thinking outside the box, the development systems can now do few more things can it could before. Yay for results. Seems I’m not the only one who’s been bashing the scripting rocks together either. Blogger have released a […]
