Shall we take a test?

Uncategorized

Hiya, The white space that’s the Blogger interface has been open a good twenty minutes, and yet, other than right now, I’ve yet to put anything in. Not that I’ve writers block or anything, I’m either easily distracted, or a terrible procrastinator. (Ed: The Procrastinator. He’ll be back… possibly… or not. Maybe). This week has been a little full on for my liking. Not that there’s been much drama (thankfully!), just it was all rather hasty. [ Update: apparently, this is my 500th post. ] When in doubt, just ask Tuesday, I stopped off at an out of town shopping park to see if they had the shoes I wanted. They did, but they’d moved the shoes into the middle […]

Looking forward

Uncategorized

Hi, How was Christmas? I hope you had a good festive break. I hesitate to use the word ‘holiday’, on the grounds that the rush up the the big day, seems anything but. With all the present buying, wrapping, food prep and visits; I’m glad of the down time period between then and New Years. Not that we get up to much at New Year’s. In days of old, the Ever Lovely Mrs J and I would go to an alt rock club in town, but that must be nearly 20 years ago now. I’m 40+ and I’m not careful, my waist will soon match my age. 🙂 So year, I’m quite happy to stay at home, get the kids […]

A gift of calmness

Uncategorized

Hi, This morning I was late in for work, as I had an appointment at the local doctors’ surgery. Nothing serious mind, which is all good news. I was due to see said health profession at 9.30, which gave me half an hour to kill, after dropping Little Miss off at school. Wee Man has been away all this week and while there was a brief moment of ‘….and relax…’ as there was only one bedtime routine to do, I have missed him and the place wasn’t the same without him. Far too quiet and a distinct lack of family banter. Where was I? Oh aye, post-school run. 🙂 With 30 minutes on my hands, I could have gone home […]

Down with the sickness

Uncategorized

Hi, It’s been a quiet week this time around. On Tuesday night – or Wednesday morning? – I woke up feeling very cold. Not the sort of cold you get when you’ve kicked the duvet off, or the heating’s packed in either. Ah, hello random illness! I’ll go prepare the spare room shall I? 🙂 I’ve been off all week feeling somewhat rough, very tired and unusually, not hungry. A small joy in all of this, although I don’t seem to be getting thinner. Perhaps all the loafing around and sleeping hasn’t helped the old walking routine. Now, I have thankfully [touches wood] only had a few minor blips with my health over the years. Perhaps not a bad thing […]

Under pressure

Uncategorized

Hi, Yeah, we’re back to pop culture references as a title. Well, at least for another week. 🙂 In the last week, I’ve been recording my blood pressure. It all kicked off after I had an appointment at the local doctors’ and he pointed out I’d not had it [my blood pressure] taken for some time. I wandered off to see the Nurse and it seems it was a little too high for someone of my age. Early 40s eh? Is there when bits start dropping off as you fall apart? If so, could some of my flab evaporate elsewhere please? Oh, except in the boob and bum department, I need all the help I can in those departments 😉 […]
