Hi, Tiredness: which is not what I’d planned to write about today, but it seems a strange, sometimes sneaky, beast. It’s the end of the week and, as I’ve said before, I find there’s a certain level of magic about the weekend. Perhaps it’s the idea of promise; that you’ve a whole three nights and two days to do what you want. Anything from reading, lying about, to walking, going swimming, baking, cooking, visiting friends & family, to the more everyday necessities of grocery shopping. Yet tonight, I nodded off on the sofa. I was comfortable and I felt my eyes start to grow heavy. Now, there are a few things in life I can resist and a few that […]

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 […]

“The future us already here. It’s just unevenly distributed.”

Hi folks, It’s Friday night again and it being February, Winter is giving us a last hurrah before the gentler turn of Spring. Except this time around, Winter’s invited its best mates High Tide and Climate Change to the party…. and they’ve all been watching Changing Rooms with Keith Moon. This is not going to end well. 🙂 Floods Glib comments aside, it’s not to bad here. Yes, the wind and the rain are rather strong, but by no means are the Jones Massive – nor any of our clan – bailing out, or having to be evacuated due to flooding. I know it’s very British to talk about the weather, but there are times when there’s a point, rather […]

Check your six

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, […]

Cleaning up

Uncategorized

Hi folks, Larks, it’s late – or, depending on your point of view, very early 🙂 Unusually for me, I’ve been playing a video game into the wee hours. Normally, it’s web pages, blogs, podcasts and maybe a view tunes of yesteryear via YouTube on a Friday night…. Blogger Challenge The challenge this week is to write about skincare: do you have a routine? Are there products you like to use? A routine? Well, not really, no, I don’t do the regular cleanse, tone and moisturise gig. The closest I think I get is the every-other-day use of a Clinique Facial Scrub for Men and the daily use of moisturiser. I have greasy skin, so I’m careful not to use too much. I […]

Wrong and then right. Maybe it’s all in the mind?!

Hi, I used to think that time was a constant. You know, the dependable oscillation of an electrically charged quartz wafer, the slow turn of the planet, or the slow arc of the sun across the sky. But no. 🙂 Instead, time seems to run at different speeds. Take for example waking up. The alarm goes and through Herculean effort, I manage to raise not only my eyelid, but focus my eye and swipe ineffectively at the smart phone.  🙂 Apparently, five minutes pass, whereas in my head, it’s ten seconds before the snooze function kicks in. I wonder if this lost time is used to pad the morning when you get into the office and you realise you are […]
