I have a lunch date! in OD

I couldn’t let that pun go unappreciated. Don’t get too excited about the title.  Yes, I have a lunch date tomorrow, but it’s with my sister and nephew.  She messaged me on FB today to ask if I...

Santa is a stalker in OD

I’m currently obsessed with a podcast called Fake Heiress. It’s about Anna Sorokin. I’m enjoying it, but I’m not sure about one choice they made. Sunday, I went through to Hartlepool for the cr...


  Tomorrow, I’m heading through to Hartlepool for a craft fair, in the hopes of finding Christmas presents. Which I’m looking forward to. Been a long while since I was up there. I’m not sure w...

Exit poll shows a Tory majority of 86. This is Not Good At All. Also, looks like a massive SNP majority in Scotland.  55 seats out of 59. Will

Oh, mother in OD

I phoned home last night and my mother said that when I’m home for the holidays I would be called into service to help her with something on the computer. Now, I expected it to be something to ...


Yesterday, my toilet decided to stop flushing. Bet you weren’t expecting that start to this entry. Phoned the landlord and he passed my number onto a plumber, who arranged to come round this m...

A Midsummerfest Carol in OD

On some planets, in some cultures, it’s traditional to celebrate on or near the shortest day of the year. Typical. Celebrating when light is in the shortest supply. Here, however, we’ve got it ...


Last night was another Frank Turner gig. I was supposed to getting a lift there and back.  Then the person said they couldn’t commit to going because of family issues.  So, I booked a hotel ins...


Wookie cushion. The Horror Channel is having a classic monster movie marathon today.  So far I’ve watched Dracula and Frankenstein is nearly finished.  I enjoyed Dracula, but my enjoyment of Fr...

The good kind of knackered in OD

Extra image just cos: You may remember that I mentioned a while back that Boro has a Snowman trail, based on the 12 days of Christmas. Well, it was in the papers today that the Snowmen that ...

Delurgyfied in OD

Lauren may have to see a doctor for whatever condition makes her think this is any way acceptable. I don’t know what I did on Wednesday night, but the lurgy is gone.  Now I’ve just got a cold...

All lurgied up in OD

I don’t know if it’s something I picked up at the con, but the past couple of days I’ve been shivery and cold, sneezing my head up and coughing worse than normal (I have a smokers cough). Not h...

And thus we hit the trail in OD

Yup, it’s politics. This is an entry that I wanted to write before, but stuff kept happening. When I last wrote on this topic, the Tories had been refused a recess for their party conference. ...

Royal Fly Pew Pew in OD

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...

It finally registered! in OD

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...

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...

Swim, Interrupted in OD

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. ...

Prorogue Trooper in OD
