The hardest day

365,Football,General,Net joy 19 February 2011 | 0 Comments

For some reason I find the weekend to be the hardest time to keep up with the blog a day ethic, which surprises me since I thought they would be the easiest. I think it is the lure of Total Wipeout in the hour that is my normal blogging time, or the fact that I [...]

The general report of a creaking man

365,Blood on the Motorway,Diet,Exercise,General,TV,Writing 17 February 2011 | 0 Comments

Try as I might I cannot find anything to wax lyrical about, so how about a report card? A general state of the union you might say, except not for any particular union, just me, your humble blogger. Having a day of general achiness and creakiness today, although I am not sure how much of [...]

Being productive.

General,Ubuntu,Writing 12 February 2011 | 0 Comments

Today has been one of those rare days where I actually get to block out a significant period of time to do some writing. Ellen and Rosie have gone out for the afternoon and will not be back before dinnertime, which means that I have a six hour block of time, although I do have [...]

Deserving democracy

Well that went very nicely, thanks to everyone who left messages of niceness on here, on Twitter, on Facebook. It’s always lovely to be the recipient of happy thoughts and congratulations. It makes you wish you had something glorious to announce every day. Maybe I should just start making up accomplishments or grandiose announcements every [...]

None of them can stop us now.

General,Music 10 February 2011 | 4 Comments

One of the things I have wrestled with most over the course of seven plus years of blogging is how much of you the person to give. You know; the real you, the one that walks around in the world, talking to people, eating sandwiches and more importantly the one that has things happen to [...]

Adrift

**WARNING: Today’s post may be taken as evidence as to why attempting to blog every single day may not be the best idea. Apologies in advance, especially to Clive Tyldesley.** I am, it has to be said, bloody knackered, and a bit too mentally adrift to be of much use to you tonight. It’s been [...]

Rambling man

365,General,Travel 8 February 2011 | 0 Comments

Slightly different blogging scenario for me today, normally these are typed out after Rosie goes to bed, or at least during that period in between her being put to bed and the time some hours later when she actually settles, with me sometimes managing to write as many as fifty words before she materialises again [...]

Victory lap

365,General 5 February 2011 | 10 Comments

Well that was  easy enough.You see that face there? That’s my happy face. My I just passed my theory test face. I have now got two years to take my proper test before this theory test expires, so I’d better get a wriggle on. It nearly didn’t quite work out as planned however. Last night [...]

What I should be doing

General 4 February 2011 | 1 Comment

Hello there. Tomorrow is my driving theory test, so I should be revising rather than typing away on here, and I shall return to doing so in just a moment, and will not be instead ignoring my revision and watching England beat the Welsh in the first match of the Six nations. Oh no, perish [...]

Priorities

365,General,Politics,Travel 2 February 2011 | 0 Comments

I hate priorities. Stupid, no fun priorities, with their sensible button down collars and penchant for the music of Celine Dion and getting your tax returns done on time. Priorities, with their disapproving glares and that little voice they provoke in your head that say ‘Can you really afford that?’ Just a hint, if you [...]
