Some of you may remember my somewhat ill-fated Year of Health project, in which I spent six months of last year on an ultra health kick, losing over two stone in weight, then spent the next six months on a reverse unhealthy kick, gorging on cakes and ships until I was exactly where I was [...]
Song 24: Clutch – (Eulogy for a) Ghost. Wahay, and we’re back! I figured it is about time to finish this rather idiotic challenge off, seeing as I’ve only got seven more to do and they happen to be the ones I’m more interested in. So, funeral music. Well, this is actually something I’ve given [...]
Note: Before we get going, it strikes me as slightly ironic that when I bought www.bloodonthemotorway.com the idea was always that the novel would be serialised, and this domain, Blog On The Motorway, would be simply a new home for the blog I have written for years. The title being nothing other than a simple [...]
I was going to do my next 30 day song challenge today, but it seems a little unseemly to me to be writing about a song to have at my funeral when there is so much death around. From the death of a young woman who lost a battle with addiction and whose funeral is [...]
Last night I was getting all flustered about not having blogged in a whole week, when my partner rather sagely pointed out that nobody is even remotely likely to have noticed, something which seemed cold and cruel at first, but also wildly accurate. I never really notice when even my favourite bloggers go quiet for [...]
Much as it pains me to admit, the time to recognise defeat has come, and a hasty retreat is needed. Almost exactly one year ago I took the bold (for me, anyway) move of kicking nasty evil Windows into touch and moved into the wild unknown of Ubuntu. Smarter, faster, and it meant that I [...]
I will return to the 30 day song challenge shortly, but the next topic is ‘a song that makes you happy’ or some such, which is too difficult for me to wrap my head around at the moment, given that I have a head full of nasty cold, which I am currently trying to expel [...]
Just a week or so ago, I was feeling pretty blue about my major writing project, Blood On The Motorway. It is in itself something of a product of a fractured genesis, and if in fact the reworking of my first ever attempt at a novel, and although it has drastically changed over the near [...]
Well I did actually have a blog post all written and ready to go up today, but it can wait until tomorrow, because it is no longer in keeping with my mood. Today we went for a second attempt at a 20 week scan after the baby was laying in an awkward position through the [...]
You may have noticed that since I started my new job (and if you didn’t know, I’ve started a new job!) the frequency of posting has dropped to around the level of satisfaction of your average Charlie Sheen concert attendee, the whole idea I had at the beginning of the year to post as close [...]
