“I left my head and my heart on the dance floor.”

Hi, A day late with the post. Tut tut! 🙂 Okay, I could say I’d planned to upload a scheduled post, but in the words of Mr Callahan; “Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself.” Really, one of the best quotes from prime-minster’s question time. (Ed: That was Callaghan. Honestly! Look out, Lynn’s about to go into a day dream about Dirty Harry running the country during the 70s!!) Where was I? Oh aye, a scheduled post. Yeah, I had planned to do it, but… umm… two things got in the way. A) My complete inability to prioritise and B) how would I tell you how good last night’s Invasion was? 🙂 I’m sticking with […]

“Do what you what you want,
till you don’t want it anymore,
(remember who you really are)”

Greetings and felicitations, A day off today which made a nice change… well, a change from the two previous weeks of being on a sick note, but let’s move on eh? 🙂 So, first week back at work over and done with. Okay, one day physically at work and then – because of lack of transport – working from home. Now, I don’t mind the odd day at home working remotely. It’s nice to get out of the office and have uninterrupted time to get stuff done. But, in all honesty, I missed being in and being part of the banter and general hubbub. I remember Sartre’s famous quote ‘Hell is other people’ and the article the accompanying article by psychologists disproving it. 🙂 We’re […]

“Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery,
Weaving time in a tapestry “

Hello one and all, Larks, it’s been warm of late. I’ve been out and about – well, dog walking at least – without a coat, hat or scarf for the last few days. It’s making for a very strange January, as typically, it’s rather chilly in this part of the world. Odd, as a few places – of similar latitude? – seem to have many inches of snow. Small mercies eh? 🙂 So what’s been going on? In some ways, not much – which given last week’s incident, is just fine by me! 😀 I’m signed off work while my arm and shoulder recover. I find it a little odd as mentally, there’s not much wrong with me. Stop that laughing […]

“you should watch – watch your stay here,
don’t look out you’re gonna break your neck”

Hi, Wow, first post of the New Year. I trust you had a good break over the festive period. From a blogging point of view, I was all prepped for a nice, quite week and I’d been tapping my creative reserves over what to talk about. Well, it seems the hand of Fate had other ideas for this week. Sitting comfortably? Then allow me to explain…. 🙂 Tuesday morning rolled around and as per, Wee Man, Little Miss and I were packed into my little car to head off on the school run. Off we went and then the next thing I remember is waking up – yes, waking up – with both children crying, we’ve stopped and a number […]

“Right here, right now,
There is no other place I want to be.”

Hi there, New Year’s Eve and the blank page of new day and year will shortly be upon us…. Well, unless you’re reading this after the event. In which case, err, hello. 🙂 Psst, if you’re a time traveller, any chance of next month’s lottery numbers? 😛 So, Christmas has been and gone in a flurry of shredded paper and sweet wrappers. Honestly, I could be describing the inside of a hamster’s cage, rather than the big day at Jones Towers. Really, all went well and good fun was had by all. The nippers didn’t get up too early – too early being pre-8AM – and despite both being very excited the night before, they did manage a good night’s sleep […]

“I got me a car, it seats about twenty,
So c’mon and bring your jukebox money!”

Hello dear reader, All ready for the big day? I mean, Christmas, of course, but if you’re planning something else cool, good luck with that one too. 🙂 Here at Chez Jones, after many a long night at the kitchen table, I think we are there in terms of having all the gifts wrapped. I did find one skulking at the back of my Lynn cupboard (!) for Little Miss, but luckily that was a nice easy one to wrap up. Unusually, the fridge isn’t groaning under the weight of enough food for ninety people. This time around we’ve tried a bit more planning – as way of a change! No, this time, we’ve pretty much got all that we […]
