I’ve had a couple of weeks of being prodded and poked … it’s hell in Tesco during the evening rush. No, just kidding! Mostly dentists and hygienists actually – as well as a ‘ladies’ appointment that wasn’t a bundle of laughs. It’s enough to put you right off lettuce … The upside though, is that now […]
Where did the week go: again? No news of any real interest again this week, but that won’t stop me rambling on, will it? Actually; there is something. Just to let you know in advance that I’m going to be on Rosie Wilby’s Radio show “Out in South London” on Tuesday 1st February. It’s on […]
“It’s my blog and I’ll cry if I want to …” And even though I didn’t want to, I did! I’ve got so much to say this week that I’ll have to leave some of it out. As I start to write this, it’s 1.00 pm Saturday and I’m in my office for the first […]
It’s my Birthday today. Big whoop … not. There are so many reasons why I’m not cock-a-hoop, but most of them are not for this blog. What I will say though, is that having a Birthday so soon after Christmas is not a lot of fun. Everyone’s fat and on a health kick, so aren’t […]
Just look at me. No; don’t look … I’m too fat. I cooked my last roast dinner and was finally able to emerge from the kitchen last night after 10 whole days of festive food preparation and consumption. We eat and drink guilt-free over Christmas, then – when we realise we can’t get our clothes […]
It’s 4.00, and I’ve just sat down in my room to do this little Christmas blog. I’m teetering on the verge of flu symptoms but am using all my powers of positive thinking to fight it, because if I’m sick, my family don’t get any food: simple as that! One year – about 13/14 years […]
By the time I write next week’s blog (which will probably have to be on 27th), we’ll have had our presents and be feeling all fat and bloated. I won’t – of course – as I never overeat and rarely touch a drop … Back in the real world though; I do actually only dare […]
You know that lovely old rhyme “Thirty days hath September, April, June and all the rest; except November – which seems to have about Forty, and December – which seems to have about Eighteen” … yeah; that one. December seems to go twice as fast as the other months, doesn’t it? At least I managed […]
I’ve hardly been in my office this week. It’s been a week of irksome tasks to be attended to, and I’ve felt a bit de-motivated too – which hasn’t helped. Christmas is a time when couples enjoy all those couple-y things, like decorating the tree together and going somewhere nice to do their Christmas shopping. […]
I’ve been psyching myself up for a rant, but woke up this morning having completely forgotten what it was I was worked up about. Hopefully it’ll come back to me as I ramble. I’m writing this on Friday morning as I’m off to Doncaster to visit family this weekend and won’t have time to do […]
