“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…”

Uncategorized

Festive greets! 🙂 I hope all is well with you and yours. All sorted on the shopping front? Personally, I’m done. The Jones Massive have pulled together – no, not like that – and the present cupboard is fuller than Jordan’s bra. Present-wise, there’s lots of stuff for the nippers and quite a lot for Mrs J too. I guess I like to spoil all of them and it’s only money right? It’s just the wrapping to get out of the way and I’m not really looking forward to that. 🙂 Still, on with a few choice tunes and just get stuck in. I had the good fortune to visit a friend during the week and in addition to lots […]

“Oh the weather outside is frightful….”

Uncategorized

Hi, Funny, I can’t think of that song lyric without thinking of Die Hard. Guess it’s an age thing. 🙂 How’s things with you out there in blogland? All good I trust. For those of you outside of the UK, we’ve had quite a large amount of snow. Despite Hollywood showing a British Christmas as flowing sea of pure white drifts, the truth – as per – is somewhat different. Mostly November/December is dark, cold and mostly rainy. Except for this last week anyways 🙂 This time around the snow has been pretty heavy and it’s been unusually cold too. Certainly a lot colder than a more typical November. Speaking personally, I think we got off pretty likely hear in the East […]

“And you will be so happy to know,
I’ve come alone, it’s over.”

Uncategorized

Hi, I’m a bit stumped on how to start this post. Not through any requirement to put out a massively important message, I guess it’s just breaking in the white space. Did you ever get that feeling when you got a new exercise book at school? That first sheet was somehow sacred because it was unmarked and full of what might be. Then again, I may just be being a bit of a mentalist. 😉 Anyway, let’s start with some good news shall we? As way of a change 😉 Whatever synergy it was that’s sent the old Black Dog on holiday has kept working its mojo. I’ve felt… well, just kinda normal over the last few weeks. Okay, as […]

Thunder… thunder… thunderstorms (??)

Uncategorized

Thor was well and truly in a blinder of a mood today. Real big-assed wrath-of-the-gods thunder. Impressive stuff. Oh and there was a much needed rainstorm. Welcome to the British monsoon season. Which brings me nicely – ooo, good link eh? – to shopping the other day. P. and I had gone shopping and for the first time in ages, we went into Monsoon. “That’s a nice skirt,” she says holding up this gorge pale green patterned silk number. I nod and fumble with the price ticket. ****ing hell, I think, and it’s not designer. 🙂 Funny that in some shops you can get an outfit for that price! 🙂 After much too-ing and fro-ing, we did get an outfit […]

Been a while hasn’t it? Well, we’ve been away – no, not at her Majesty’s pleasure – but on holiday. A week or so of fantastic weather up by the Lakes. No mobile reception, iffy TV reception: but acres of blue sky, rolling hills, a playground (for El Toddler) and plenty of chance to read on an evening. Quality. As Lilly Von Schuck would say: “Ahhh… I feel wefreshed.” 🙂 Things are going well at the mo, family life is good (we’ll see what happens this Thursday shall we?) and work is slowly down from insane to just frantic. I’ve been asked to do a piece on my make-over (see previous blog entries) which I really must get around to […]

Summer Loving?

What is it with the Grease jokes? Enough already! Well, we’ve got an all male ballet review, so I guess it’s just a matter of time before someone does a TG Grease. 🙂 Actually, dare I Google that? I’m sure someone’s got some Sandy pix somewhere. Summer Wardrobe You may have already read that P. and I were having a bit of a sale on Ebay. Nothing like getting folk to give you money for you old tatt. Anyway, P. asked if I wanted to keep anything before she flogged it on. There was a very nice yellow and red (no, stay with me) sleaveless shift dress… which I have kept and wore to Saturday’s Chams do in Leicester. I […]
