Would you believe that after all the trials and tribulations of getting my new pair of glasses sorted they STILL aren’t ready? Yesterday morning when I went to collect them, although they did manage to get the lenses made with no errors, the manufacturers sent them back in the WRONG frames!
Just my luck [...]

Suddenly, I am back up to full speed without even noticing. After my recent lay off I decided to concentrate on one project at a time and to clearing my outstanding GDRs from last year. Now, I find I have several projects all running at once—they kind of crept up on me—all these plates [...]

Yesterday was the kind of Saturday I’ve needed for quite some time. If I could have wished for a better feeling come the twilight of the afternoon, then I got what I desired. It was a nice day but not all that exciting. It was low level boring stuff to most, but for [...]

I find that working on a public holiday has more benefits than drawbacks. The bus is empty on the way to work, the streets are clear so the journey takes less than half the time, there are no school kids lying across all the bus seats, the shops that are open have no [...]

I hope you all liked the interview with poet Sage Cohen in yesterday’s post. Hopefully it made a nice change from the norm, and I think you’ll agree it made for great reading. I’d like to thank Sage for the opportunity to be involved with her new book and for coming to Freedom [...]

The more I work on Greener is the Grass the more I’m not happy with the title. It’s crap, to put it mildly. It’s not reflective of the story and nor does it create the right emotional response. I’ll keep it just now as a working title, but I’m definitely going to change [...]

It’s not that I’ve been too busy to blog over the past few days, I’ve just had nothing to say. I didn’t see any reason in filling up these pages just to tell you something meaningless, so I took a break. I never broke off from writing, just from blogging.
My time spent working [...]

Laura and her pals never woke until later in the morning. Not surprising given the time they were up to last night. I eventually fell asleep around 1am, though it wasn’t easy.
When I got up this morning I made some lovely fresh Columbian coffee, ate a bagel, then went round to the shop [...]

The first half my day in ten syllables: relaxing, enjoyable, fulfilling.
The second half of my day in ten syllables: frustrating, disastrous, calamitous.
I kicked things off by heading up town in the morning, but instead of going alone I took Gail. It was a chilly morning, but nice and bright so perfect weather for walking [...]

I couldn’t believe my eyes this morning when I logged on to my PC, morning coffee in hand, to read that a US Airways plane had ditched into the Hudson River. The first I knew about it was the sight of the plane floating on the water, and people standing on the wings waiting [...]

Murder is a thought not often contemplated by the sane and the civilised, but it crossed my mind today. This probably only serves to prove my theory, that if you had to work with some of the wallies that I do, you’d also be as insane and uncivilised thinking as I am. Trust me.

I didn’t sleep much last night, my stomach still turning over in spasm and gurgles. I tried to eat some bread and consume a cup of tea about an hour before putting out my light last night, but it didn’t sound like it was sitting too well. I hardly ate yesterday at all, and [...]

I got back from a couple of days through in Glasgow around 4pm today; sore, weary, but very happy. The reason for my visit was to stay at my sister’s flat, do some catching up, and go to a gig that Lindsay had bought tickets for me for my birthday in September.
We went to [...]
An odd day.
For some obscene reason I’m suddenly finding it difficult to rise from my kip in the mornings of late. It’s not like I don’t get up; this morning for instance, I got up later then normal and after ten minutes went and lay back down again. I never got up again until an [...]
