The blatant overreaction of Israel to the abduction of one of its solders comes as no surprise. The tact approval of the USA is hardly a surprise either. Both parties are pushing for all out war in the Middle-East between the supporters of the USA and ‘the others’, mainly Syria and Iran. USA has been … More Israel overreacts.

I hate being depressed. Makes a mess of everything you do. relationships suffer, your general day to day life suffers. Long term prospects suffer…. not matter which part of your life you look at its affected. And then there’s the effect it has on those around you… and knowing you’re disturbing *their* lives just makes … More Depression stinks.

Ok – found a pretty good theme which will keep the site going until I find something better. I quite like the look of it but it isn’t exactly right… I suppose in reality I ought to get some practice in and try to modify it a bit… but nah… can’t be bothered 😀

Been ‘one of those days’. Started off with one child going on an ‘access visit’ to its birth mother… followed by a visit to the post office to post a couple of letters… then to the solicitors for yet another round of the Landscaping Saga which is still playing on after three years.

Just had a call from a friend who told me her 6 year old child has just been prescribed Ritalin because she has 3 of the markers for ADHD. I’m not one to argue with experts… once I’ve learned as much about their specialism as they have… and I don’t know anywhere near enough about … More ADHD ? Wassat?

Taking far longer than I thought to get my self back to work. We’ve had a lot going on including the ongoing saga of the landscaper… and we’ve had three kids to stay… and now it’s slightky eased 🙂 The house is still a mess, made worse by the kids who seemed hell bent on … More Getting back on track slowly.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here… a month at least… and a lot has happened in that time. Can’t stop to discuss it right now… typically… but will be back later on once I’ve mad a start on the disrepair and grot the house has accumulated. Hints on what’s happened include an … More Hello!

Was reading in the papers today about twins… boy and girl aged around two… children of a couple who had IVF treatment in order to have them. Kids were left in the care of their grandfather. Seems they climbed up a three metre ladder to reach the roof of the household water tank. The roof … More Funny old life 😦
