Wax and wane

Hi, Let’s start with the good stuff and see where we go eh? 🙂 Focus on the good, not the perfect That probably would’ve made a better title for the whole post, but hey ho, here we are! 😉 I was out with the doggos the other day, and while they were enjoying their umpteenth sniffing stop of Guess the Wildlife*, I paused to enjoy the warmth of the sun, birdsong in the trees, and the beauty of nature. The bluebells and crocuses are out (and fabulous! 😁); there’s a few late snowdrops, and I think I spotted some cowslips or primroses on my travels too. All very much a feast for the eyes given the blaze of colour away […]

Dumb ideas for the history book

Uncategorized

Hi, The other day I happened to fall on an article about the positives of journaling. Now, I think we can say that blogging isn’t quite the same as the former, but it may not be sat too far away on the bench. Yes, there’s stuff I do not write about on YATGB. There are family matters, stories that aren’t mine to tell, and – honestly – things that I think are fab, but would bore the socks off you. Stop that snoring at the back! 😉 Differences aside, I think there’s still something magical about the old blogging lark. Firstly, there is the ability to write about the Good Stuff, whatever that is. For me, that – despite the […]

Hi, Ah the warmth of the turning to spring, a day off, and a proverbial pocketful of, uhh, positives. What’s not to like? 🙂 Lights in dark woods I could’ve said ‘literary inspo’, but I are an Old, and not down with ‘da kidz’. Do you still put ‘yo’ on the end of that to maintain your props or cred? Sorry, I mean ‘rizz’. 🙃 Okay, enough with the unhip dadness vibes. I’m GenX, so I don’t give a ***k 😁 [ breath…. and focus ] I do not read as much as I used to. Like most of my hobbies, they lean towards the geeky and nerdtastic, because that’s exactly the sort of things I like. Left of the […]

Ignoring the stream of negativity

Posiblogging, Uncategorized

Hi, After last week’s micro-wobble, a visit to Chams to see friends and some time out of ‘bloke mode’ has done me a world of good. Funny that such a simple thing – well, I say simple! – helps me settle and become comfortable again. I suppose that “birds of a feather” phrase, in that it’s people who get it, and who understand. No need to keep the proverbial mask on, and conversations flows naturally, with no second guessing. Maybe a shorter phrase would be authenticity 🙂 But, this all this helps. Reasons indeed to be thankful. Self Care At the start of the week, I tried a bit of self-care to help push the cobwebs away, and let in […]

That’s no moon

Hi, I nearly started the introduction with “hello there”, which may ring a few bells if you’re a sci-fi nerd (like me) or have used the Internet any time in the last ten years 😉Still, we have our title, and possibly, a tie in with the graphic below. I feel that labels are shortcuts and as such, trim a long story to a short one – and in some cases, a single word. However, if the history of YATGB has taught me anything, it’s that I don’t do short explanations 🙃 Excuse me while I rev up the hyper-waffle-drive… 😉 Two scoops of ice-cream…. a dash of maple syrup…. and we’re off! [ Today I learned: To be genderfluid may […]

Hi, Ah, the pleasure of a shorter working week, and hearing the delicate song of birds in the hedges. Oh, and the recycling lorry revving up to take our cardboard mountain away 😁Well, much better than landfill, IMO. In a few weeks, the system will improve to take Tetra Pak cartons. Although in true muddleheadness, the convenient recycling points for those have gone…. and the new system isn’t in place. Deform clowns🙃 I suppose the old recycling units might be stuck on the roads somewhere. I mean, it’s quite possible the replacement, replacement transport has got a flat tire. If only there was some way to repair the holes in the roads! 😏 It’s all the rain, it’s the big […]
