An author's blog and general musings on weighty issues such as, 'how closely must my breakfast cereal resemble dust before I can open a new packet..?'.
This is a follow up to a post I did in 2015 – ‘Things that Make Me Go Boom’. And since this is me we’re talking about, there are too many things that drive me up the wall to be crammed into one blog, so I felt it time to do another. I had hoped … Continue reading Things that make me go (‘this is intensely irritating’) boom II
Well, I wasn’t supposed to be writing a blog this weekend (I mean, I was, but I couldn’t be arsed). And some may argue – quite rightly – that this isn’t really a blog post at all (if a blog is to be considered a thousand words or more, which it isn’t - it can … Continue reading We are the Champions, My Friends🏆
Hello, ‘tis I once more! ‘Who?’ I hear you cry. I know, you’ve almost forgotten me. You’ve almost (happily) deluded yourself into believing the only Adele you’ve ever heard of is the famous one who doesn't need a surname - like I do. But don't worry (you weren't worried), I’m still here! Just about. … Continue reading The First Two Months of Living Dangerously (Possibly the Last)
2017 is about to draw its final breath. 2017, of course, was unlucky enough to have to follow 2016 – which was an unbelievably sh*tty year, I think we can all agree. Everything went wrong in that year: Deaths on both a personal and celebrity level, terrible political decisions, too many kitchen appliances needing replacement…well, … Continue reading 2018: A Year of Living Dangerously…
What in the name of all this is holy possessed me to write this blog? This is akin to putting 46 candles on a birthday cake – i.e., you shouldn't! Oh well, it's my 46th birthday today ('How young you look, Adele', 'Oh gosh, thanks'), and I thought it my duty to have a stab … Continue reading 46 Things I Have Learned in 46 Years
Today, in the absence of anything more interesting to write about, I thought I might just tell you about my day. Not today Saturday - as I’m posting this – because right now I’m probably just sitting around in my pyjamas, thinking about cleaning the cats’ litter trays. I’m choosing Wednesday just passed – as … Continue reading A Day in the Life…
I’m not a movie buff, I can state that quite categorically. However, I don’t dislike films as such; I like films as much as the next man. So long as the next man is fastidiously fussy about what movies they will deign to watch. I certainly can’t just mindlessly watch a movie – just … Continue reading Two Hours I’ll Never Get Back
This is a dangerous post. This post could have repercussions; lose me valued friends and readers. This post would be better dismissed as one of my 'not so intelligent' ideas. Yet once that something is in my head, it's very hard to dislodge it, so it often ends up being written about. Like in this instance. So, … Continue reading Five Things Never to Admit to Anyone. Ever.
As far as I’m concerned, it isn’t the norm for me to write about things that drive me absolutely insane. Well, I have on a couple of occasions, but I don’t believe ranting is my ‘thing’ either. But the other evening, I was caused to become so irate about a certain matter that a scathing … Continue reading You couldn’t make it up…
Hello! It's my birthday! No, really - it is. I've written in a weird blue font and everything; man I'm feeling wacky today. I mean, who does that? Ha ha ha. Anyway, I'm 45 today! What did you buy me? Oh...oh, I see. Well, never mind. To make up for your insensitivity and forgetfulness, you … Continue reading Oh, you shouldn’t have…
