News: Dramatic flash storm
Yesterday there was a short but Biblical rain storm. Doesn’t seem to rain as much as it used to. It’s probably that climate change thing I keep hearing about!

40.
As with last year I made a fuss of my best friend’s birthday, us happy singles have to have eachother’s back at birthday and Christmas time. Had a great day myself, hard not to when it includes gifts, a traditional English breakfast, a safari park and a roast dinner with Champagne. 🍾🥂

Cat’s Birthday
You heard it here first, my little pal became a world wary 6 year old on Thursday 6th May 🍾🎂 As well as serving his favourite meal I bought him what I’m sure every cat wants: a statue to guard his outdoor den and keep evil spirits at bay! I’ve been getting more lap time…

BBC Interview
My day job is to design and deliver classes on work and organisation and I enjoy this a great deal. In my eyes work is fascinating because so much of human life, meaning, identity and status is connected to work. We often spend more time “at work” than we do with our families, we may…

Practicing what I preach
I bought a couple of bottles of this award winning Champagne at Morrisons when they dropped the price from £18 to £14. This weekend they dropped it again to £9.99 so I bought 5 yesterday (all their stock in store) and another 10 today. 🍾 It’s not spending money it’s saving money if you think…

There’s always room for hope
For the last 4 years America has performed a rectal exam on itself, in full view of the world’s media. Unsurprisingly it has not been pretty, but I hope one day we can look back and see it as necessary. “Business as usual” is the fundamental reason America is coming apart at the seams, it…

A cold strange day in Worcester
Yesterday I had to deal with the annual unpleasantness of my vehicle MOT. Because nothing was open I couldn’t head to a cafe and carry on working as I normally would. Instead, I dressed for the cold and hit the streets for some exercise. Worcester was like the set of 28 Days Later, eerily quiet…

Snow prep.
My reasonably priced snow boots (I’ve got a flash pair that I don’t wear when it snows because they’re too beautiful to get dirty 🙄) have a hole in. That’s a bit of an issue given their purpose in life, so I picked up a very reasonably priced replacement pair. They were the last pair…
