Hi, Okay, let’s hammer the plastic keys and brain dump, maybe that’ll bring some stillness…. or, more likely, silliness. Ah, and there we go; off to the usual start of nonsense! Writing as it goes from brain to fingers to keyboard 🙃 Visiting I’d had enough this week, so I booked Friday off to shorten the week. I had some chores I wanted to catch up on, and with Wee Man having moved a little closer, it was a chance to pop over for a visit. He and partner – I’ll have to think up a nickname at some point! 🤔Mrs Wee Man seems a little too early! – have moved into their new rental, and have been busying setting […]

Travellers are advised that the YATGB train service to Disappointment, stopping at WTAF and terminating at Yet Another Rights Rant, has been delayed to totally foreseen circumstances. Hello there 👋 So much for Friday night’s post eh? Luckily all deadlines are self-imposed. This week – despite it’s reduced length – has been a bit of a slog. Everyone is fine and there’s no drama thankfully. I think it’s a case of too much going on and that’s, well, just worn me down. There’s some uncertainty around employment and that’s not helping. Hopefully there will be clarity – there’s a topical and not-always-used-correctly – word to use. Virtual This may explain why I’ve been gaming – or more accurately, modding more. […]

Hi, A short week this time around. I could get used to this! 🙂 Ah, but it were not for the requirement of filthy lucre to settle one’s bills and put food upon the table. Random thought: is it more environmentally and economically prudent to be a vampire? 😁 /S I mean, for a start you’re not contributing to intensive agriculture. Okay, you do have to have a nibble from time to time, but humans may donate willingly for a few bob. I guess you’d not need the heating on, being undead. That and your travel bills would be less. Sure, it takes a while to get anywhere as a bat, but the night views must be nice, right? Would […]

Out, Uncategorized

Sunday morning during the Easter weekend in Nottingham. Beautiful blue skies, a warm Spring sun, and a faint yet cooling breeze. My boots – vegan, women’s, M&S – whispered against the city streets as I made my way up through the manicured ruins of the new Broadmarsh park. No longer the slum of an early century, but maybe a tombstone of a once proud shopping centre. Across from the carefully laid rocks and water courses, loose tarps from the building’s skeleton flapped in the wind. Ghosts of visits passed drifted into my head. Christmas in the old Co-op restaurant, Games Workshop with a friend, buying knee boots in the 90s…. Up, up, and across Market Square to Speakers Corner: a […]

Hi, A day late, tut tut eh? 🙂 It’s been a full week; both in terms of working Monday to Friday, plus it’s been busy at home and otherwise. With Friday zipping by and most of the evening given over to Child 2.0’s activity out, his driving experience, and a late tea for both of us; I was tired. Mind you, I was tired at 5 PM, so another four hours on the go just topped me up nicely to TGIF night 🙂 I am, however, observing rather than complaining. Okay, maybe a bit on the tiredness 😉 It’s great to spend time with Child 2.0 as I know he’ll be looking to go to university in about 18 months […]

Hi, Ah, Friday at last. Wow, this post is going to date in a day’s time isn’t it!😉 It’s seems is that funny period between winter and spring – wring or sprinter? 🤔Also, why have portmanteaus become a thing again? Hint: not recommending spwing, unless you want to sound like Elmer Fudd and you’re hunting wabbits 😉 [ CTRL ALT DEL…. set ADHD-service.exe to low priority 🤓] The period of time where it’s not quite warm enough to reach for your spring wardrobe and switch up to brighter colours and thinner fabrics. However, having had a few months of warm dressing – and as much as I love the comfort of hygge: rich fabrics, autumn colours, warm tights, etc; like […]
