Well things are going wrong!
My partner has been looking for a new job recently and one came up which had her name all over it. We did wonder if the universe was playing some kind of joke because literally the day after announcing to her boss that she would be moving on she stumbled across this job. Working in the same village as I do, working with plants, and doing what she is very qualified to do. Jobs like that don’t come round too often so she applied.
Well she got an interview, and thoug
So you took the bait then, time to reel you in I suppose. Here is my forecast for the short term and then looking further ahead, hope you like it.... Synoptic situation. Number of meetings attended 3 Number of meetings to go 1 Urge to kill rising Will to live falling. Forecast. Urge to kill is expected to rise with increasing frequency of gits from the south west. Will to live expected to fall further as pressure rises. The longer term outlook is mainly dull with outbreaks of pain. As the weeken
We have a very long and narrow back garden with access and off road parking at the back. When we first bought the house the solicitor pointed out that there was potential for development at the back and that we could make lots of money from it, at the time we were not interested. We are both keen gardeners and we relished the opportunity to get our teeth into our new plot and turn in into our little bit of paradise. So we spent a few years planting and landscaping our way down the garden until

I wasn't going to write this at first, I couldn't really see the point. But as I thought on it, it occured to me that I probably should, just to get it off my chest and maybe to spread a bit on sense to the masses. What am I on about? I'm talking about the rash of, quite frankly, racist, bigoted and downright offensive comments posted in some threads, by some posters. I'm all for freedom of speech, I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However sometimes I wonder where people get th
Little did I know that when I got my cat a few years back that I would get hundreds of free pets. The other day I was watching TV when I felt something on my arm, looking down I saw a little flea crawling across my skin. 'Calmly' and 'rationally' I made a lunge for it with the remote control. Smashing it's little body to bits. On closer inspection of our cat with a fine toothed comb I discovered he was host to a rather formidable number of the little blighters. "Ah, no wonder he's been acting
Well what a differance a couple of weeks makes! Since my last blog entry I have been really busy, working every day and I really haven't had time to be S.A.D. I've finished a couple of really big projects at work and now the weekend stretches before me with the prospect of meeting up with a few old friends and catching up on old times. The sun has been shining today and I feel pretty happy. Nothing quite like burying yourself in work to make you appreciate the good times I say. Have a great wee
This is what is going on inside your cat's head while it is standing just out of reach and you are trying to touch it; Touch my fur....................no, don't touch my fur! Touch my fur....................no don't! Go on, please...................no don't I bite Go on...no……Please! Feed me! Touch my fur! Attack! attack! Touch my Fur! And now while it is half asleep staring at you with half closed eyes (think Gollum/Smeagol) We want's it, we NEEDS it! No, can't, Master's food, musn't touch! It
There is something wrong with my nose this week. It feels like It's been bashed but I dont remember doing it. It's slightly swollen on one side and there is a dull ache on this side when I prod it. I think it may be a sinus problem but i'm not sure. Probably I should go to the doctor but two people have called in sick today so lets see if it better tomorrow. Meanwhile, prehaps I should stop prodding it and going ouch! Maybe that'll work.
Well despite my worst fears my cat came back. He escaped from my in-laws on the 1st of September and was finally captured by a lovely couple about 1/4 mile away yesterday. 30 days after his escape!
He has lost a lot of weight and as I type this I am waiting for an appointment at the vets to get him checked over. I spoke to a lovely lady at the cats protection league who said that the is some risk that he may develop some liver damage from the rapid weight loss so it's best to get him checked
Well I know I said a wasn't going to look at the model Output thread anmore but unfortunately I did just that. Well, there is a cold snap on the way afterall. :lol:
Again it was full of useless comments or comments which belong in another thread. I don't know why I'm so uptight about this, it really isn't like me at all but for some reason I'm wound up about it. So much so that I took the step to actually report one particular post to the mods. Something I have never done before.
I'm glad t
Life is a bit like that isn't it?
I come home from a fantastic holiday, the food, wine, company and scenery were all fantastic, the weather was ok too .
But when we got home we found that our cat had escaped from the people who were looking after him. The very same day we left.
Unfortunately no one has seen him for two weeks. We have posted fliers around, notified all the authorities we can think off and searched everywhere but I fear the worst for the little fella. To make things worse, d
Not heard about my new job yet. Spoke to the boss today she said that I had done well, then said actually you did very well. Sounds pretty positive but I don't want to get my hopes up.
They will let me know by the end of the month.
More waiting then....

I think this is by Spike Milligan but I'm not sure. I just remember my dear departed Dad saying it to me when I was little. So in his memory here it is again. Spring has sprung, the grass is 'ris. I wonder where the birdies is? Some say the birdies on the wing. 'Tis the silliest thing I ever heard. For I know the wing is on the bird! Have a great day all.
A poem by me. Some sort of Cat We think that it's some sort of cat, It's certainly covered with fur, And now we've started to stroke it, It's suddenly started to purr. And now it's just made a beeline, For the food we left by the door. It's certainly some kind of feline, And it's just done a p## on the floor. It's definitely not a fierce tiger, And unlikely to be a big bat. It’s trying to squeeze in beside us, And trying to get on my lap. And now with all the confusion, With everything all of a
Well it's been ages, I know, I know I'm terrible at communicating and I'm sorry. It's just that nothing particularly exciting or newsworthy has happened since I last wrote.
Talking of lack of communication.
There I was in my hotel room watching Boris Johnson talking about who the hell he thought he is when several alarm bells went off in my head.
Here is my chain of thought:

I’m allergic to autumn, don’t know why but I get horrible hayfever symptoms from Sept to the first frosts. Some say I’m allergic to fungal spores, could be, it doesn’t really matter though as I can’t seem to avoid it. This year has been particularly worse however; I’d forgotten what proper long term ill is like. It’s just exhausting isn’t it? It made me wonder how these people with long term illness cope with it day after day or even year after year. I hope I’m never unfortunate enough to ex
Well quite frankly, since Christmas the SAD has really kicked in, dreary weather, short days and post xmas blues all combined to make me feel like it’s all pointless. I’ve got lots to live for, my life is pretty great actually. But the trouble is I just wanna sleep all the time and let it all pass me by. I’ve got no enthusiasm for anything right now. The only thing that helps is plenty of exercise and then the Spring. Until then, cocooning isn’t an option, I have a life to lead and a job to
Well I haven’t written an entry for a while so I thought I would have a go as we now have a new format. Well recently things have been pretty busy, work is hectic with loads of problems to sort out, but that’s ok I like a challenge! At home the house is back in student mode after having a big clear up a few weeks back we are back to piles of washing and dirt accumulating in the corners again now, I must try and clear up this weekend or I may catch dysentery. The new car is going well and the
To the tune of Thunder child....thanks to Flagpole! He appears to be quite simple. As he leans against the wall. Enamelled in plain white splendour. He isn't very tall. They turn him on when it's winter, Turn him off when it's mild. Once a year they paint him, Radiator child! Sorry I forgot to take my pills.....
It’s funny how our expectations cloud our judgements isn’t it? For example: Person A works has a leading role in a small company but he doesn’t believe in his own abilities as a manager. As a consequence whenever he is praised for his work he quickly dismisses it and it’s quickly forgotten. Perversely, whenever he is criticised he will dwell on what has happened and torture himself, wondering what went wrong and agonising about how to put things right. He goes home to his wife and tells her al
For years I have lagged behind my friends and family in regards to procreation. I stood quietly in the corner, rolling my eyes as they compared rearing notes and cooed over their offspring. Even the sanctuary of the pub held no safety. Each of my drinking buddies has there own kids and much of the chatter is about the latest exploits of little Tommy who has finally managed to use the potty or tie up a shoelace.
Personally I found all that mind numbingly boring, who really needs to know the in
