Easy does it

Uncategorized

Hi, With Child 2.0 enjoying a long summer break of that season spanning gap between GCSEs and A levels, the Ever Lovely Mrs J decided to have a few days of as well. Due to a busy diary, I couldn’t join them on Thursday, but I am enjoying an extra Friday off. I should add that I’ve booked the time off. Apparently it’s Not the Done Thing to just not turn up and take the money. You know, how certain Lords, CEOs, and MPs don’t 😜 Maybe an honest day’s work is just for you peasants? 😁 Thank you. I’m here all week. Fight the power! 😉 Perhaps Pride? Notts Pride is this weekend – Saturday lunchtime, from what I’ve […]

A little luxury is still a luxury

Uncategorized

Hi, How’s things? Hopefully good and if not, I hope that they soon will be. A rare treat With two days off midweek, and having had a day out on Wednesday, I was glad of some downtime to get a few things sorted in the house. The -ahem- ‘post getting ready debris’ was enthusiastically installed across the spare room’s double bed, so that needed sorting out. Not to mention the Shoe Forest that had appeared, as my footwear collection migrated from upstairs to the stady confines of under the spare bed 🙂 Thursday I had planned to go out with Val, but sadly our work calendars couldn’t quite align, so that was that unfortunately. Still, maybe with luck we’ll strike […]

A holiday from him

Out

Hi, With GCSEs and school over, the Ever Lovely Mrs J has treated Child 2.0 to a mini break in Europe. Before anyone rings Child Services, I should add she’s gone with him 🙂 They’re currently somewhere in northern Europe visiting museums, taking in the sights, and enjoying a much deserved break. I feel I should point out that today’s title is not about our lovely boy, but Yours Truly enjoying a break from being the usual me. If you’re curious as to why I’ve not gone – or if you’re not, I’m going to tell you anyway 😉 – we have three hounds and sorting out immunisation jabs, kennel stay, etc; well, it’s a massive faff. Plus, given all […]

Out with the old

Uncategorized

Hi, So, how are things? Hopefully going well. For me, I’ve a day off as part of my nonworking hours. I feel very lucky to be able to afford every other Friday off. It certainly helps with my mood, resting up from a busy week, and I don’t lose the weekend to chores. Happy times indeed. Difficult news I think things at YATGB are going to take a bit of a hit as of this week. I’m not giving up exactly, but I think my blogging is going to take a knock. Those do-gooder types with their grown-up politics, care for the less well off, and bloomin’ acceptance of people. Well, they’re only in bloody charge now! 😉 What’s even […]

Salads it is then

Hi, How’s things? Here at Chez Jones, it is the cusp of the weekend. Work is done, the laptop shutdown, and my feet are up. Only the dogs to walk and then make some tea. Well, I say make. Realistically I’ll be assisting the Ever Lovely Mrs J, given I’m not a scratch cook. Bigot Bingo It’s been a good week for rentagobs and haters. I’ll give you a quick summary to spare you time and distress: Okay, that’s that crap out of the way. Good stuff Shall we talk about David Tennant’s awesomeness? Top parent points 🌟 Also, a Muslim Pride event too ☪️🏳️‍🌈 I hope the event goes well and folk feel loved & accepted. YouGov – a […]

#TransYouthAreLoved

Uncategorized

Hi, A message to trans youth 🏳️‍⚧️ You are awesome, you are valid, and you have a future. Please, ignore the haters and the grifters; they don’t speak for us and their views don’t define you. You do you. It doesn’t matter if you’re looking to transition socially, partially, or medically; if you have; or if you never will. Do what feels right for you. It’s your life, your mind, and your body. To mix things up gender wise is just as okay as it is to be mix things up around sexuality. It’s okay to be you, it really is. If you’ve found a label that works for you, that’s cool. If you haven’t, that’s absolutely fine too. They’re […]
