“Hope is a good thing”

Uncategorized

Hi, Another bank holiday weekend? I don’t mind if I do! 🙂 Oh, and it’s half term too, so an extra day with the nippers, will be time well spent. How are things with you and yours? All good I trust! Disagreement I would normally say, I’m not one for politics and if this isn’t your thing, do skip on to the next bit. There’s something about shoes and looking fancy. 😉 [ If you decide to ignore Lynn’s rant, go to page 65. If you decide to hear what she’s got to say, go to page 9. If you prefer to attack the Ork in a denim skirt using your +3 mascara wand of fabulosity, to give a much […]

Happy

Uncategorized

Hi folks, I’m sat here nursing a very large mug of tea, wondering how I should start this post off. Silly really. I’ve been here a few minutes, mulling over how to get going, when really, it’s probably just best to get stuck in. Stream of consciousness, seat of the pants, hang the editor, etc (Ed: Oi!) Today, was one of those proverbial rays of sunshine when everything just seemed to click into place and all is good with the world. I had the good fortune to have the morning off and lunch with the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones, as we had an appointment in town with the bank. Nothing serious, just checking on the family piggy bank and the […]

The sum of our years

Uncategorized

Hi, Once more into the Blogger interface, dear friends, once more….. and then…. your brain goes… meh. At least, that’s what seems to happen to me. Some days I’ve got loads to say and other times…? Well, it takes a little while for the old noggin to wake up. Ooo. Listen, what’s that? Sounds like the 8.48pm train from Ideasville calling in. Interviews It’s been an odd week for interviews. On the one hand, I’ve had the good fortune to have a telephone interview with an agency. They rang me up after seeing my LinkedIn profile. Honestly, does anyone have a LinkedIn profile for any other reason than to pimp their CV and hope to get head hunted? 🙂 I’m […]

Check your six

Uncategorized

Hi, Funny how some nights out seen to be damn near perfect. For those times, I think it’s good to sit back and bask in the afterglow. Did anything amazing happen? No, not especially, but everything went to plan. It all started to go right when the Ever Lovely Mrs J and I came to a mutually agreeable time on me going out. All was cool, calm and collected. Hell, I’d even managed to read to both kids and have a decent shave without damaging myself before leaving. As Bill or Ted would say: most unprecedented. 🙂 Arriving at the venue, I was greeted by a group of folk waving their arms about while some other folk, in army fatigues, […]

Fitting in…. or not.

Uncategorized

Hi, So we’re a few days into the new year. Even if you didn’t have a calendar to hand, the tip off would be the sales of get fit DVDs, the return of the nautical look and Easter Eggs (and not the ones the NSA sideloaded into your smartphone either 😀 ). Due to the way Xmas fell this year, I’ve had the good fortune of a number of days off, and this week, I’ve only been in two days. A nice easy welcome back to the working week….. or ‘turning up’ as I like to call it 😉 Last year I signed up for a Blogger Challenge and this involves receiving a topic suggestion and, well, you guessed it, […]

Gut-con One

Uncategorized

Hi, It’s odd this blogging lark. I’ve pondering writing this entry for a little while and, I’ll be honest here, not one of the opening starting with a sweeping musical score, birds singing gaily in the trees (birds don’t have an issue with silly marriage exclusivity rules apparently) and bring sunshine dappled across the the rolls hills and forests. No, most of them where the pounding crunch of flat boots across the gravel of bones, the swish of a dark cape and a fanfare of sonorous brass…. Bugger. Even my darker moments are camp. 🙂 So, what’s the big deal? The Drama Du Jour? It all seems a bit silly, but then – as I’ve said elsewhere – emotions don’t […]
