The meeting with the new Routes to Work person went well.  I think I’ll get on with her. The volunteering meeting, not so much.  As I feared, it was about working at the cemetery.  As soon as I...

I’ve got a Misfit Ray fitness tracker that I call Vortex Manipulator (Doctor Who fans will understand).  Since I started swimming, I’ve had to add my swims manually because they simply didn’t re...

Going to have to mess about with the settings on my phone, it’s doing the cutting pics off here thang again.  Here’s the full pic of my now healed tattoo: I think I might need to get it touch...

Today is Mental Health Awareness Day.  As such, here’s your periodical reminder that if you want to vent and don’t want to do so in your diary, feel free to leave a private note. Will

Not a bad seat for the match. Saturday morning I met Nikki and Kev for the game.  There was an African market so me and Nikki went for a wander round.  Nikki bought a bracelet and the person sh...

---

There was an open day at an art studio in town today as part of the Art Weekender, so I went along.  One of the studios was a guy that I’ve known for a while, so we caught up and then I made a p...

I did go for a swim on Tuesday.  T’was fine.  Not so much today though. I’ve found things are easier if I swim for 10-15 minutes then go in the jacuzzi (sorry, I mean spa) for about 5 minutes. ...

Yes, it’s another political entry. First thing I have to do is correct myself. In my last politics entry, I said that the Government had lost an appeal at the High Court in Scotland. It was, in...

Surprisingly, this entry is pic heavy. Will

Later tonight, I’m going to do another megadump of pics from the weekend. Tomorrow, I’ll write about the Supreme Court ruling. In this entry, however, I’ll talk about Newcastle and Mythos. Now...

Innit absolutely adorable? As you can tell from my last entry, I finished reading The Testaments.  It’s good.  It’s very good.  My plan was to read it quickly but the prose was so gorgeous that...

What is your ideal pizza? Deep dish? New York style? What toppings?  Hawaiian.  Not particularly fussed about the base What is your favorite style of french fries? Curly? Crinkle cut? Shoestrin...

Read The Testaments.  It’s fucking awesome and the prose is achingly beautiful. Watch Undone on Amazon Prime.  It’s brilliant and trippy and the rotoscoping really works. Will

---

I finally got the cross stitch my friend gave me for my birthday last year framed. Here’s a close up: It’s not been done the way that cross stitch is usually framed as my friend didn’t leave ...

I know, I know, I said no more politics for a while.  But no-one saw this coming… One of the things I forgot to mention in my last entry was the court case.  Today, the High Court in Scotland r...

---

So, I wasn’t going to do another political entry this soon. But then @sleepygene said he was expecting one. So, here it is. Yesterday was a quiet day in Parliament. Not much happened. I am, of...

---

Yesterday was week 2 of swimming. It went better than last week, but only slightly. There’s a fitness centre in town that has a smaller swimming pool. I’m going to get a free day pass and give i...

---

I know, I know, another political entry. But I thought I’d just wrap up the week. By the way, the title is our Prime Ministers full name. On Monday, Hillary Benn tweeted out the cross party bi...

---

Yes, it’s another political entry. No, I’m not apologising. Today was the debate and votes on the anti No Deal bill. There were a few amendments. One amendment passed. Why? The Government didn...

---

Yeah, it’s another political entry. In British politics, we have the phrase “Crossing the Floor”. This is when an MP leaves the party of which they are currently a member, usually to join anoth...

---

Today, our esteemed Prime Minister held a press conference outside 10 Downing Street.  It was basically about nothing except pleading with potential Tory rebels not to vote against the Governmen...

---

So, I’ve decided it’s time to get shot of the Buddha belly.  Can’t really call it a beer belly any more, really. With my particular health issues, I decided that swimming would be the best idea...

---

Yeah, it’s a political entry. Last time I did one of these, it ended with Boris Johnston being elected leader of the Tory party and, therefore, Prime Minister (or Britain Trump, I’ll let you gu...

AKA: in which Will decides to see how many pics he can post in a single entry before OD cries Uncle and tells him to stop playing silly buggers. Entry pic is my new incense burner in full flow....

---

My new backflow incense burner.  Hopefully, I’ll get a pic of it working properly later. So, my journey home was an… experience.  I was running late to leave for the station, so I decided to ge...
