I find myself...
… pretty much existing to get through to the weekend at the moment. This isn’t likely to end well for me come the end of the performance year, but hey, what the hell. Motivation is kinda non-exis...
Three days . . . .
. . . nearly there. I live in a box fort now. The next time I write will probably be from the new place. It’s going to be about 30 degrees on Friday and my car’s air conditioning is screwed. Obv...
Monday morning suc....
… wait, did I do that last time? I did. Llamas were awesome. Llamas are always awesome. We now have the money to look to move house. This is mildly scary. For now, it’s the ‘get the house vaguely...
'tis the season....
… to spend half your day doing performance review bullshit that means nothing because it’s 90% about who’s in the room when you’re being moderated, falalalalaaaaalalalala...... Gawd. And to make ...
Things that have happened...
Not written in a while; in fact, I’ve apparently managed not to write at all over Christmas or the New Year. So happy Christmas etc etc. Partly it’s been illness - I somehow trapped a nerve in my...
Been and gone...
Have struggled a lot to keep up with writing, both here and for my (still basically dead) youtube channel. Of course, part of that was the holiday in San Francisco. We liked it, it was great, but...
So my latest project o'doom....
.... is that I’m building my first kit guitar. Which is kind of awesome, also one more thing to distract me away from all the things I should be doing. I like the idea of making a custom guitar t...
Happy Halloween.
I’m from the future, deal with it. Also, I won’t write on the day. Not a lot has happened since last I wrote. Work remains as it was, nothing much has changed elsewhere, and I continue to hammer ...
I'm seriously sucking at writing. . .
. . . at least here. It’s starting to get a bit hard to keep up. My ability to retain any enthusiasm for my storytelling project in the face of almost no views or comments or anything, in fact, i...
I like time off.
It means I’m not at work. Just Monday and Tuesday to go and then I’m back and with any luck they’ve missed me just a bit but no so much that the entire place burned down while I was gone. Other t...
Two months in....
So long already? Weird. Non-youtube stuff. Work remains worky. My kind of boss who has been relatively supportive of my possible promotion case this year is leaving, which is giving me flashbacks...
Three and a half weeks in...
This project is genuinely instructive, if only because we’re going to find out just how willing I am to bang my head against a brick wall for six months in the face of getting zero progress for h...
Two weeks in. . .
. . . two weeks and the effort to reward ratio is just murderous. I am, admittedly, playing this game on hard mode because of a couple of things.... 1) Seriously, how much interest can you really...
Full steam ahead. . .
So. . . for about two weeks now I have been doing something that I have never done. I have been putting my writing out there. I’ve never done this. So I have launched a youtube channel, a blog an...
Little things...
… will help you survive. So today I officially find out my payrise etc, and the promotion of my colleague will be confirmed. I would be lying if I said there won’t be a very large part of me that...
v2
Since the site ate my initial entry here’s the short-hand version. Prague good. Weather good. Back at work sucks. Not feeling great about ongoing work prospects. Feeling super-great about llamas...
Holidays upcoming.
Which is nice. Finally-got-around-to-watching-that-catchup: Captain America - Civil War Or, as I like to call it. . . why do the Avengers *ever * bother to send out anyone other than the Scarlet...
So how long. . .
. . . do I get to coast along before I have to actually stop pretending that it’s only just the New Year, so getting things in order can wait until everything’s back to normal? I reckon about ele...
It's starting to look a lot like. . .
. . . llamas. Then again, it generally does around here. We got buried under what I can only assume must have been about ten miles of snow the other week. Not I appreciate that should you come f...
I have decided. . .
. . . that temperatures above 30 degrees centigrade are silly. Yes. The last three days of our trip to France were brutal. It was hotter there than in England, and it’s not even like we were in ...
We have all the wardrobes.
Also, I’m on holiday in two weeks time. This, I think, is a damned good thing. It’s a bit weird in that we had our big holiday in November last time, so it’s actually come around pretty quick, bu...
Dip dip dip...
… little April heatwaves. . . . Hot weekend. The first of the year. Went for a run yesterday and then did a bunch of shopping and gardening, and predictably enough ended up in bed with a headache...
Throwing stuff out is somehow relieving. . .
I don’t know why. Maybe it makes it feel like you’re making progress on something. Have made a large dent in the rubbish left in the loft at mum’s house, and we’ve kind of carried it on at our en...
And so it goes on. . . .
2017 here we go. . . Since I have been AWOL, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all and sundry. May llamas google at you all through the year. Because that, clearly, would be awesome. Chri...
September's running out fast.
It seems. I ran eleven miles yesterday, and I remember why I said I wouldn’t bother with anything upwards of a 10k anymore. Upwards of about 7-8 miles is where stuff starts to hurt. Lack of prac...

The place where I write now, apparently. . .
