Three is ‘top three pet peeves’. Where do I begin??? I do not like being pestered when I’m on a lunch break. This would happen quite a lot at Staples, but then, I did kinda invite it, by being too nice – and by becoming part of the management team there. Blocked Aisles. You know […]
Two is ‘write something someone told you about yourself that you never forgot’. I was working at Staples when a colleague, who I didn’t know particularly well at the time (we got to know each more in time) told me she thought I had a natural gift at sales. I wasn’t sure if I believed […]
I don’t recall the specifics, but the other night I dreamt of my Nan again. I think this is because the other day, she would have turned 100, and her birthday falls right before my daughter’s birthday, who has just turned 10. No one will claim I’m especially spiritual, but the timing of their birthdays, […]
My daughter likes me to tell stories that mash up our world with fictional worlds. In particular, she likes Pokemon and Legend of Zelda mix-ups. I’m glad she enjoys me telling her stories, but I will admit that making up that kind of thing off the cuff is quite hard for me. It doesn’t help […]
It’s a minor thing, but I’ve now put together nearly 68,000 words of my Warlord story. I’ve developed a few new Formula 1 pages (including updates to driver profiles, a new section on circuits and an expanded F1 Explained section). Of course, in normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have had the time to do any of […]
So I’m shamelessly ripping off an excellent idea from Paul over at The Captain’s Speech, He’s taken a look at what he regards as the major events from his blog over the years, so I thought I’d do the same. 1. Eye-opening Discussions This one goes back a ways, to the 2nd October 2014, when […]
I felt a bit frayed today. There’s a little pit of worry, anxiety, in my chest, not helped by a trip to the supermarket that saw people getting in my way nearly every single time I went to grab what I needed. The longer this situation continues, the more I suspect it will unsettle me. […]
March is nearly over, and what a month. It’s gone from relatively normal, to lockdown, with shelves being emptied in our supermarkets and shops, and businesses closing their doors (in some cases, businesses are permenantly shutting some of them). We still don’t know the long-term consequences of all this. At the time of writing, 1,801 […]
Getting back into the bathroom industry has brought back knowledge more quickly than I’d thought. I’ve done a few surveys now, and it’s jogged the grey matter. Slowly but surely the store is picking up, and with that, opportunities will grow.
A second day of physical labour has really taken it out of me. I am, in a word, knackered.
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I know of a fun way to burn off calories, but I’ll not be sharing the details here! I don’t know if I could call any of the standard means of seeking fitness ‘fun’. I’ve been doing regular sit-ups since the start of April, interspersed with a few […]
