“Come into the garden, babe,
oh, come on in!”

Hey folks, Summer holiday time this week and very welcome it was too. A few days away from the rush of work and a chance to ignore the List of Stuff To Be Done on the fridge (home) and monitors (work). Instead, time to wander through the countryside, let the kids play without having to watch the clock and, if I’m lucky, to ponder life, catch up on some reading and generally do note* for a week or so (* Ed: for our visitors, note is a corruption of ‘nowt’ which in turn is a northern slang for ‘nothing’). Earlier this month the Jones Massive went off to a party. It’s not something we do regularly and it was with a number […]

“Cause I’m in too deep, and I’m trying to keep,
All the thoughts in my head, instead of going under.”

Hi folks, Deep breath and concentrate, Lynn…. It’s been a bit of a mixed bag since my last blog entry. There’s been some good stuff and some not so good stuff. I’ll get the moaning not so good stuff out of the way and end on a positive note. 😉 Given last week’s mental… issues… I had high hopes for Chameleons this time around. Funny, really; I could have really done with some ‘Lynn mode’ this week, yet it did not come to pass. Or more accurately, not completely. Home was fine, work didn’t hold me back, but the weather – for me at least – was just too much. I was late leaving home and on the way there, I […]

You took my light, you drained me down,
But that was then and this is now,
Now look at me

Hello, How’s things with you? Hopefully all rather good. It is – at least at the time of writing – the weekend and for some of us, that’s two days away from work. Time for you the Jones Massive to duck the treadmill of modern life and kick back into the slow lane. With luck, there’ll be a spot of lunch, a few walks in the park and if the weather stays good, maybe a bike-ride too. Yay for spring! Cheer up, Mrs This week saw the last of my anti-miserablist sessions, or as the NHS like to call it: CBT. The session was fairly brief, just a summary of what we’d talked about and a bit of the obligatory […]

Tomorrow doesn’t matter.
Turn that music up,
‘Till the windows start to shatter!”

Hiya, I’ve stalled on writing this post a few times. Not really for any great shakes, more a case of procrastination. I’ve even changed the title four five times as I’m rummaging for the right lyric in my head. Talking of such, I had hoped to go with ‘I’m down with the capital C B T’, only the rapper in question didn’t sing.. umm… rap that. Oh well! Nor can I re-use Lady Ga Ga’s masterpiece to  clubbing as I’ve used that previously. Okay. Time for a hot choccy to stimulate the old brain….. Slurp… Ahh. 🙂 Last Friday Night… Ack! There’s a line I could have used. Oh well, I’m not changing the line again! 🙂 Friday night was a […]

Hello one and all, It’s been busy-busy-busy this week. The type of busy that requires three words and two hyphens for emphasis. Hell, any busier and I’d have to throw in an exclamation mark! Oh, there it is. 🙂 Yeah, so work; rather frantic, but in a good way. Lots of things done, items ticked off the list and folk genuinely helped…. which is why I feel I’m there. All good stuff. Therapy time again last Monday – and this coming Monday for that matter – and it went fairly well. We talked briefly about how I’d felt since the last meeting and I did my best to be open and honest. Basically, I felt like sh** after the last one 🙂 […]

“And then I’m happy for the rest of the day,
safe in the knowledge that there
will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it.”

Hey all, I don’t know if you get this or not, but there are times when there are so many thoughts rattling around in my old brain, that it’s difficult to really know to start. Okay…. deep breath and concentrate, Lynn… and stop talking to yourself too. People talk as it is. 🙂 Shall we start with good stuff? This Thursday was Chameleons and as I hadn’t taken ill or broken anything (yay!), off I went. In time honoured tradition, it was a case of two outfits, but on this occasion, three sets of boots as I really couldn’t make my mind up. Ditzy eh? 😉 I was a little late than usual because I got caught up with work, […]
