Rethinking

Uncategorized

Hi, Thoughts arrive like butterflies, so goes the old grunge anthem of the 90s. Focus, Lynn, focus. Half term holidays I had a look at my leave entitlement recently and thinking about the upcoming half-term, I’ve booked some time off. I think I had left it a bit too long – yes, even as Lynn “part timing it” Jones – having every other Friday off. Sometimes, I think you just need to put the tools away, fold up the work gear, and do something else for a time. So it is that the Jones Massive will be having a few days out here and there. No doubt with hounds and certainly with an eye towards hot drinks and suitable refueling. […]

Sparks, drops, and good friends

Uncategorized

Hi, This one’s going to be somewhat of a mixed bag. But hey, isn’t that how life plays out? But, I’m off today which is always a good start to the weekend in my book! 🙂 Sparks The housework is just about sorted and I’ve even had a chuck out of old clothes. Items that I loved at the time, but I’m not wearing. Some are old favourites that no longer fit (thank you, middle aged spread 🐖). Others I’m just not wearing because… well, perhaps a difficult truth to speak is I’ve got too much. I forget who said it but I’m conscious of the phrase “we wear 10% of our clothes 90% of the time.” So, yeah, stuff […]

How’s things with you? Hopefully good and if not, fingers crossed they will change for the better. Some witty title to do with counselling TL:DR – put your feed up, Anxiety Goblin, you’ve earned a rest, sweetie. This week was my last session with the therapist. I think the best way to describe it was perhaps a closing episode. Not so much a goodbye, but more an agreement – from me, I should add, not the therapist pushing in any way – that things are a lot better. Better in that I feel I probably don’t need the regular help and guidance. Ooo, isn’t that nice to say eh? 😸 That things are better! 🤘 Given that, perhaps time to […]

Out, Uncategorized

Hi, In the words of a recent songsmith, Käärijä, “this exhausting week and the many long days are behind” [mashup video – heavy music ahead, yo 🤘]. While I’m not quite up for a round of piña coladas, I am ready for some downtime. Ah, perhaps one day the money situation will be such that a further reduction in hours would be possible. Well, ideally the balance of reduced hours and enough moolar to make ends meet. This month seemed to be a bit expensive, and I had seek funds from the Bank of Ever Lovely Mrs J. I wouldn’t have minded so much if I’d spent a mint on fancy stuff – it was bills and repairs. Still, we’re […]

Hi, Ah, the pleasure of a short working week and the post morning run around of chores done. Just…. don’t look at the dishwasher collection, that’s next on the list after I’ve had a wee break. Of course, once I settle in to prattling on, that might become a longer break. Oops. Nails I don’t know if it’s my age and/or the change in diet, but my nails are rather weak at the mo. Specifically, my index and middle fingers – and no, it’s not from overuse of giving anyone the V… not that there’s a shortage of Bigot of the Week who could do with a collective ‘jog on’ 😏 from the woke mind virus – AKA normal kind […]

Low power

Hi, Five days. Five full days of the working week, the school run, and some home related faffery. I’ve even tried putting my head on the wireless charging mat, but I’m still not with it yet 🫠 So in an effort to put a break between that and the weekend, I’ve had a haircut (re buzzcut), a tangle with the epilator, and a warm shower. As Lili Von Shtüpp once said: “I feel refweshed” 🙂 Nerd news The old gaming PC has been messing around of late. The graphics just stopping, the antivirus being overzealous, and the error logs were longer than a 2004 MP’s expenses claim (allegedly 😉) So, geek goggles on and time to find a spare storage […]
