Do you sometimes put things off because the mammoth task standing before you (physically or metaphorically) is just too much of a burden and it is far easier to leave things alone? As human beings, we are designed to take the easier option. The path of least resistance. As I recall to my colleague on […]
My Latest Obsession
How quickly another year rolls around. Perhaps because our perception of time is so wildly different as children but as an adult time just flies. It is strange to think we have already been based in this post-war new town for over five years now. We moved into our home on New Years Eve 2015. […]
The Greatest Gift Of All
Surprised to receive a Christmas card from my former colleague Fred this afternoon in the mail. If you live in the United Kingdom I am sure you also have been receiving your correspondence later in the day from Her Majesty’s Mail Service. Pre-pandemic we would receive our mail usually around 11am but now we get […]
Keep On Running
It is almost seven months since I last posted an entry and I feel that my readers are well overdue an update. I have had a few posts sitting in draft status waiting to be finished, but never getting the required runway to complete, edit, review and subsequently pull the trigger and publish! While I […]
Have A Little Faith In A Higher Love
Little did I know of the importance of a simple song recommendation from my sister Samantha on Thursday 18th July 2019 at 17:52 UK time (which was 20:52 local time for my sibling over in the UAE). For some reason, this cover version had passed me by – as has been noted previously, I rarely […]
The Unwelcome Mistress
While exchanging WA messages with a colleague, prior to the official start of the lockdown period, she described the current pandemic sweeping the globe, as an unwelcome mistress. A beautifully poetic way to describe COVID-19, as it had adversely affected her friend’s summer wedding plans. I suppose postponed nuptials is a minor inconvenience compared to […]
Bring on Whamaggadon
What you, dearest reader, do not know is I rarely blog live (or as soon as possible after the event). Actually I never blog during the event, perhaps in the future, an opportunity shall present itself. Yet, as usual I digress from my main narrative. Being obsessive about the closure of any given story, I […]
Legacy
Growing Up
I always tend towards the extremes. I rarely ever do things by halves. While this post will centre around Doctor Who, I really want to go back to my obsession with Hollyoaks at the turn of the century. Unsure of exactly what started this obsession but it probably relates to my sisters Samantha & Natalie […]
My Kind Of Town
Can a single location have a major influence on your life? Perhaps your hometown or your place of birth? Or where your parents were born or where you grew up? Where you spent your formative years during the summer exploring, discovering, living a relatively carefree existence. It is a strange fact that the English county […]
