So this morning, a surly-looking bloke comes up to the till. He’s wearing a face like thunder, and pulls out a £10 note to pay for a pencil. He pays, takes his pencil, and leaves. A few moments later, he returns, with a car park ticket in hand. He’s trying an old trick. He’s gone… Read more

The Fitness Quest Continues!
So I’m doing a number of stomach crunches per day (ramping it up to 60 as of today) and press ups too. Got some weights too, for the arms – so far, I can feel tightness in my upper chest after the press ups, but the abs don’t feel any different, apart from hurting for… Read more

The Fitness Campaign Starts… NOW!
As of today I have begun to enact my New Year’s Resolution to get fit. 20 Jack Knifes and a twenty minute jog isn’t a huge amount of time, but it’s a start, and one to build on. Which I will.

The Year that was 2014
So, we rapidly approach the end of 2014. What sort of year has it been? It has been a year of struggle at times, especially on the personal front, for reasons that I won’t go into great detail here. Suffice to say, what happens in my family will stay firmly within my family (I will… Read more

The Self-made Emoticons!
I have decided to create my own little selection of emoticons for use on my site – and possibly elsewhere! Shock! Happy/Content! Confusion. Anger/Irritation! Enjoy!

My Phone Lives! Oh yes, and a Formula 1 update
So, my phone is back! (well ok, it’s a replacement, not the one I had, but still!) I am no longer quite so cut off from the outside world! I have to consider whether my next phone will be a Samsung though. The S3 I had ended up giving up on me when it would… Read more

My Phone has died!
Well this is irritating. My phone, which is barely a year old (I got it last July) has decided to pack in. It no longer charges, which is naturally rather disappointing, since without power it might as well be a paperweight. Still, a replacement is on the way – I don’t normally do insurance, but… Read more

Feeling Icky
Over the past couple of days I’ve been feeling quite drained, and now this is starting to manifest itself not only as a feeling of tiredness but also a general, unsettling queasiness. I think lurching from the heat of the ExCel Centre to cold station platforms and back again has done nothing for my health.

Eye-opening Discussions
So, this morning, having been watching the news (perhaps not the best thing for me to do), I saw a story about trolls on Twitter harassing the parents of Madeline McCann. Not being one to always know when to keep my mouth shut, I jumped in to offer my own opinion. The conversation that followed… Read more
