The Last Two Months in Brief…

… no sooner was I back then I was gone again.  The last two months have been very busy, very strange and very stressful and I just haven’t managed to get myself together enough to write.  Facebook may well be playing a part in my lack of blogging, I seem to be addicted
A brief timeline:
Pre-Christmas:  [...]

Kris Murrin comes to Boston

I’ve just spent the last hour watching The Woman Who Stops Traffic.  I’m really annoyed about it.  Annoyed because it seems to have completely missed the point when it comes to sorting out the traffic problems here.
Boston is a small market town miles from anywhere.  It is probably safe to assume that a lot of people who live here [...]

The Number of the Beast

Shamefully stolen from Radio 5 Live’s Drive programme, during which 666 being the number of the beast came up (although being so amused by the list that I can’t remember why it ever came up in the first place)…

A sure sign I am cantering headlong toward middle age…

Yesterday, unusually for me, I listened to the radio in the middle of the day.  In the morning on my way to work I listen to Chris Moyles on Radio 1- not everyone’s cuppa I know but he makes me laugh and generally makes sure I am a good 95% awake by the time I get to [...]

I was poorly, total of 7 weeks off work this year for two separate ailments (nothing much changes there [double [...]

Yes, I know it’s not Christmas for aaaaaaages

but I am starting to feel happy about the upcoming festive season so I am going to inflict the WordPress Christmas Theme on you all.  So there.

All is well at Tangerine Towers*

Let me tell you about the last few days…
Little’un is not sleeping well at all.  She has been waking up several times a night, demanding CD’s, cuddles and stories (at 3am – I don’t think so!).   I decided to take a few days off work to get it sorted.  Sleep management through the night, actual [...]

I heart Dave

No, I haven’t traded The Yorkshireman in for a younger, zippier model with gofaster stripes… a browse through the TV channels a [...]

It still hasn’t stopped raining

The view from the car whilst out and about on Saturday afternoon:

It had cheered up sufficiently on Sunday for us to spend the day at the seaside, and Little’un got to have a ride on Smokey the Donkey, who is her new bestest friend:

The effect of all the rain on the local countryside is nothing [...]
