Hi, The difficult thing about writing a blog entry – and I should add, IMO 🙂 – is getting started. It seems to be an either/or of having nothing in the tank, or the overly full shopping bag that’s wobbling about on the backseat. Today seems very much the latter metaphor. If you just give me a mo, I’ll try to make it to the proverbial table, and bring matters to rest. Right, that’s that metaphor well and truly tortured 😉 Let’s get on with this week’s gibbering eh? 🙃 Nails At my last appointment to the beautician – yes, make your own jokes about they’ve got their work cut out or I hope they get paid by the hour […]

Recovery

Hi, A good week? I hope so and if it hasn’t been, fingers crossed that things soon improve. Off-line With half-term underway, the Jones Crew have been taking it easy on a much needed staycation. We’ve had plenty of dog walks, breakfast out, and a few trips here& there. Child 2.0 does love history, bless him, so we’ve visited castles and spent time in the local library. Local luxuries With the Ever Lovely Mrs J at home resting, Child 2.0 and I headed into the suburbs and to the nearest big library. I had planned to drop him off, then have a pootle* around the charity shops, before picking him up. ( Pootle: to take a slow walk around a […]

Resale therapy

Hi, Thank goodness it’s a bank holiday weekend as I’m in need of some downtime. Old Git It’s funny, in that our staycation, we were out & about, walking, travelling, etc; and as I’d installed a new game, I was going to bed late too. Thanks hyperfocus 😉 and yet I was not as tired as I’ve been this week. Most odd. From Monday onwards, I was turning in at around 10pm most nights as I couldn’t keep my eyes open. What is it about the nature of modern work that has this effect? The lad done good In family news – no, autocorrect, not infamy news 😜 “Eee, it’s them Jones troublemakers and there acceptance and bloomin’ kindness. B*stards!” […]

Dress Size Roulette

Hi, How’s things? Hopefully good for you. I’m going to apologise in advance if today’s post jumps all over the place. My thoughts feel like a swarm of butterflies and words focus hard. 🙂 Deep breaths, Lynn…. To be unhurried Due to carrying over some holiday leave and a need to use it up before the deadline, I found myself with an extra day off. This both shortens the week, extends the weekend, and gives me that feeling of a No Rush Weekday. I’m not going to complain about the morning routine because I’ve no issues with it. I guess it’s like the difference between making yourself breakfast and having someone else do it for you. The former’s not a […]

What you already have

Hi, One of those inbetweenie weeks this time around. Well, I guess you could argue that’s every week when you’re an somewhat in-between genderfluid person. 🙂 McTwitch Due to me not checking my prescription properly, I ran out of anti-anxiety meds at the start of the week. Oopsie! I quite enjoyed feeling like I had a little less brain fog and I wondered if I was okay to just gently drift through the Christmas holidays. While, thankfully, I didn’t have the biting return of the Panic Goblins, I very much had a spell via McTwitch, as my flight drive kicked in, while I was fixing the printer. Yeah, so no great shakes – no pun intended – and a gentle […]

The one I forgot to give a title to

Hi, Praise be to the four day week. That and a good night out with friends. I am going to apologise in advance around this evening’s post. In an act of solidarity around the Ever Lovely Mrs J’s health, I switched to alcohol free beer sometime early last year. A shout-out to Big Drop if this is also your bag. I don’t think I’ve had a beer with alcohol since Wee Man’s birthday in mid 2022…. Perhaps unsurprisingly, having such a long break has honed my lightweight skills to perfection 🤭 Yass By lucky happenstance an email popped into my inbox offering an extra discount due to the new King. What have the royalty ever done for us eh? 😁 […]
