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...
In a world that has decided, That it’s going to lose it’s mind in OD
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...
Well, frak in OD
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
Happy #dogsatpollingstations day! in OD
If you don’t know what I’m on about, look up the hashtag on Twitter. You can thank me later. Today is an odd news day. There’s this huge national event, in this case it could literally set wh...
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 ...
This is my culture man, this is my home in OD
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 ...
Breaking through a life over-rehearsed in OD
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...
For my monster from the slab, began to rise in OD
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...
Sci-fi Weekender X photo dump in OD
All geeked out in OD
As mentioned in my last entry, this weekend was the Sci-Fi Weekender X. First I had to get there. Train from Boro to Darlington, fine. Darlington to Peterborough, first class on one of the ne...
Welcome to sci-fi camp in OD
As mentioned in my last proper entry, this weekend I am in Great Yarmouth for a sci-fi con. I wasn’t planning to write til I get home, but cannot resist showing off my accommodation for the wee...
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...

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
Who you gonna call? in OD
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...
Make Art, Not War in OD
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
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...
