“And you will be so happy to know,
I’ve come alone, it’s over.”

Hi, I’m a bit stumped on how to start this post. Not through any requirement to put out a massively important message, I guess it’s just breaking in the white space. Did you ever get that feeling when you got a new exercise book at school? That first sheet was somehow sacred because it was unmarked and full of what might be. Then again, I may just be being a bit of a mentalist. 😉 Anyway, let’s start with some good news shall we? As way of a change 😉 Whatever synergy it was that’s sent the old Black Dog on holiday has kept working its mojo. I’ve felt… well, just kinda normal over the last few weeks. Okay, as […]

“Still looking for answers if only one,
Turn my back the urge has gone.”

Hey all, I remember Monday fairly well. The journey to school, packing bags, wading through work emails. After that, everything seems like a bit of a blur. Not a drunken or robotic loss of memory, just… well, this big rush and then I found out it was Thursday. I like my time at work to go quickly, but maybe not quite so quickly! 🙂 Funny, but as a kid, you’d be sat in your least favourite lesson – Maths, no French… no, most of them if I’m honest – and how the time dragged. A whole 40 minutes of being sat at a desk. But now? Forty minutes is just a good kip or a ride home if the traffic’s bad. I […]

After a hurricane comes a rainbow…”

Hi folks, How’s things? All good I trust. In my neck of the woods? Okay now, but the start of the week… well, I think I had to prepare a spare bed for the Black Dog. Irksome so-and-so, he’d moved in over the weekend. Why I’ve not idea, maybe trans stuff or maybe just a slump in the old brain chemistry. I wish I knew. 🙂 Still, plenty of work and some good laughs with the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones and that sent him packing. I’ve just got in – hence the later than usual post – from a very nice meal with Mrs J. Not so good for the waistline, but certainly very good for the soul. While we […]

You’re up and you’re down.”

Hi peeps, Before we dive into this week’s wittering, I think I should take the time to say thanks. A number of you commented, PM’d or emailed me over last week’s troubles and I found that deeply touching. You didn’t have to and for you doing so, I’m grateful. Thank you. Tuesday Laptops, they’re a bit Martini aren’t they? Not so much shaken not stirred, although today’s appointment did turn over a few stones… Where was I? Oh yes, tortured analogies. 🙂 Any time, any place, anywhere. All you need is a WiFi signal and you’re good to go. Well, okay, a full battery helps too. 😉 So here I am, holed up in a quiet room, sarnies to the […]

“I’ll escape if I try hard enough,
Till King of the Jungle calls my bluff.”

Hiya, This week’s post comes from the top of a proverbial hill. The view’s rather good and the weather’s holding out: neither chilly nor too hot. Through some low cloud I can see, well, mostly. Some of the sky is dark and scary, but most seems a bit misty with bolts of blue if you look long enough. If I concentrate, I can see the path ahead. Sure, it’s a bit patchy or rocky in places and there’s a few forks here and there where the way’s not so clear. But, I’m on the level – no longer slogging to get up the slope and I seem to be the dank of closely packed trees. If I stop and look, […]

“If it’s not like the movies,
That’s how it should be…”

Hi, A week of highs and lows this time around. Funny, I suppose after my oh-so quiet post of last time. Maybe a case of be careful of what you wish for? 🙂 Tuesday, well, that was a bit of a black day if I’m honest. But don’t worry, it did improve! It wasn’t that anything went wrong or that anyone was hurt, that particular day. Instead, I guess I just slipped a little in the wrong direction. Maybe the chemical thrusters failed and I drifted towards the black hole far closer than I’d liked. I’m not talking about feeling a bit down, moreover the flat out lay on the bed – or in my case – sit in the […]
