“You can’t hide it you might as well embrace it.
So believe me it’s not easy.
It seems that something’s telling me…”

Hello again, Unlike last week’s Friday failure, I’m going to give myself a little more leeway by writing something up earlier in the day. If that’ll help improve the quality, well, it’s too early to tell 🙂 These last few days have been fairly quiet and as I’ve said before, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I don’t mind reading or watching drama, but given the choice, I’d rather avoid the less than jolly type. Oh, I suppose I should mention the Jubilee to keep this topical eh? Right, that’s that done. What else? 😉 Oh yes, the pre-Jubilee School Trip I went on, the kids sent thank you letters to the parents who helped keep an eye on them. 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 […]

“No Time, Never Got a Thing to Wear”

Hi, While we’re not out of winter just yet, the lighter mornings are enjoyable. A touch bracing perhaps, but it’s light, yay! Lots of folk seems to be enjoying the brighter evenings, but personally, I like it dark around 6ish. I dunno, for me at least, there’s something a little bit magical about the night. Sure, summer’s fun, but dark night holds something else that a warm summer evening doesn’t. Still, that’s one of the good things about living in a temperate climate, we have seasons. Okay, a lot of rain, but seasons none-the-less. 🙂 It was Chams the other night and although we had nothing special planned it turned out to be a packed evening. A few new faces […]

Hey all, Nothing but good news this week… as way of a change 😉 No distant bark of the black dog. Maybe it’s been blown away by the recent gales? You can but hope eh? With a smile from Lady Luck and a few TXTs, I got the meeting agreed with the Avon Ladies. I had a slight wardrobe brain fail on the Wednesday and so I did my usual of packing two outfits. This time, the kilt-style skirts, new top, leggings, spare tights, two sets of boots and some skinnies just in case. Maybe that was a tad overkill, even for me, but despite trying to lay the items on the bed and decide, my mind was a bit […]

He’s a man by day, but he’s a woman at night.”

Hi, The week gone has been a bit unusual. For a start, the house has been only half full as both the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones (Ed: TELMJ?) and Wee Man haven’t been in. The latter was visiting his cousins and, as I write, still is, while *ahem* TELMJ is making her way back from a week long course somewhere down south. That’s left me holding the toddler, so to speak. That’s been nice, lots of father/daughter time: plenty of cuddles, a few books, an occasional snack and the odd tantrum. Her, not me, as way of a change 🙂 I think we are coming out of the Terrible Twos, so Little Miss’s language has really come on. I’ve really missed Mrs […]

Been a while hasn’t it? Well, we’ve been away – no, not at her Majesty’s pleasure – but on holiday. A week or so of fantastic weather up by the Lakes. No mobile reception, iffy TV reception: but acres of blue sky, rolling hills, a playground (for El Toddler) and plenty of chance to read on an evening. Quality. As Lilly Von Schuck would say: “Ahhh… I feel wefreshed.” 🙂 Things are going well at the mo, family life is good (we’ll see what happens this Thursday shall we?) and work is slowly down from insane to just frantic. I’ve been asked to do a piece on my make-over (see previous blog entries) which I really must get around to […]
