Drunk
Got on the plane feeling fine. I’d cut down on the caffeine beforehand, drank enough water (2 litres at the airport, took another 2 on with me). During the flight started to feel ill. I had a bad pain at the base of my spine, spent over 4 hours of the flight standing at the [...]
Add New Post
I’ve never ‘got’ Facebook. The friends thing weirds me out partly because so many people seem to have these friends who they have never and will never meet and partly because I find it all confusing what with posts, pages, comments, likes, fans etc. I deleted (as far as you can there) myself once and [...]
A dislike of Spring
Whether it comes in like a lion and out like a lamb – or vice versa – the joy of spring beginning is hard to resist, says Simon Schama BBC I dislike intensely the Spring season. Just as many people don’t like the cold starkness that is Winter, I hate the newness that is Spring. [...]
If I could be
Jacqui is completing an application form at the moment – what for does not matter here – and there are a variety of questions along the lines of “If you had a million pounds what would you do” and “If you could invite 3 other people for a meal who would they be and why” [...]
When gloop was good.
When I was a kid back in the 60′s and 70′s – you know I wish I’d been born say 5 years earlier. I could have really got into being a punk or a goth, I could have been one of those that voted Maggie Thatcher into power and probably even more fun could have [...]

If you go upstairs in that store and you are in a wheelchair you cannot browse the DVD section. Building supports and their deliberate placement of the aisles mean [...]

Part of an email
This arrived in my – and thousands of others – inbox on Nov 5. I liked the whole email when it arrived but I really liked this part. Just read it again and I still do. (I’m at 12097 of the 50000) 2) You deserve some fun. We get so focused on doing the things [...]
2 targets
1. Weight. I’m back on the diet. I started eating crap again and this is not good. I’m around 75kg still, target is 73 for now, it will lower. 2. NaNoWriMo. Will I write 50,000 words? No idea. Can I hit 20,000? Pretty sure I can. It’s not a story, it’s more bio based. I [...]
Credit inexpert
At some point in the last couple of years Jacq signed us up to a service called CreditExpert. I will have chosen a password, told J what it was and left her to do whatever it did. I don’t care for any money issues, it’s all down to Jacq to sort (which she likes so [...]
