Still no real word from Sian, not sure if this is because she is still recovering from major surgery or if she has washed her hands of me thanks to my albeit brief relationship with Rachael.

Do you set rules about how you use your time? (Blog Prompt)
Not in any strict sense as I don't believe humanity is meant to be bound by a timetable. Obviously to a certain degree I governed by shift patterns at work, which at my current job are fairly fluid tending to fall as business dictates and depending on my shifts it will depend how my day … Continue reading Do you set rules about how you use your time?

What is your favourite colour of hair? You can name your hair colour or a colour that you just like. In all honesty I don't think I have ever given it much thought, though if someone were to push I'd probably say when it comes to the opposite sex I probably lend to towards red … Continue reading Share Your World 26th March 2018

I remember bits and pieces of nursery but the most significant I can recall is being taken in on a day I didn't … Continue reading Share your World 19th March 2018
A Joyful Noise
"After John Coltrane came noise." - This quote is attributed to Philip Larkin. Yes, that is Philip Larkin as in the Poet Philip Larkin who wrote "they f**k you up, your mum and dad."

If a distant uncle dies and you were always his favourite and leaves you $50,000 (any currency) in his will, what would you do? I think that is a slight misquote- but you get the point. Well initially I would be very surprised as I don't have a particularly big extended family. But what would … Continue reading Share Your World 12th March 2018
