I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Out I went revelling in my newly restored ability to drive and thought since the wife is out to the theatre tonight I’d wander around the local store, pick up a few choice nibbles and once the kids are in bed… setle down to watch some of the crap movies we have on DVD. So … More The heady feeling of freedom.
For the first time in years I’ve let my beard grow a little. I wouldn’t call it a ‘beard’ as such… yet. Currently after not shaving for a few days it;s more of a ‘long stubble’ kind of look. Of course the look has changed a lot since I last had one, for example (sadly) … More A bearded monster.
Whoever told her she could sing needs a good slapping. That whiny nasal voice of hers has always driven me up the wall and time and distance isn’t improving things. Ok some of the earliest Supremes songs were really good, but that was before her whine dominated the sound. These days when I hear here … More Diana Ross
On the strength of the specialists suggestion I can now drive safely again, the wife has gone off to work… and thence to the theatre. The kids are naturally at school, and each has an ‘extra-curricular activity’ tonight so won’t be around until gone 4:00. The visitors are running out of the cash they need … More Quiet… too quiet!!
Had the x-ray. Toe still cracked. Saw the specialist. We were there on time… he was an hour late. He is also quite mad, utterly bonkers… and quite probably certifiable. I can’t quote specifics, but from the moment he said hello… which he didn’t… he clearly wasn’t quite the full loaf. No doubt the wife … More Toe the line.
I miss the smells and sights of an autumn walk though the woods, especially after a shower. The colours of amber and gold blinking in the light as the sun alternately shines through the leaves and sparkles in water droplets hanging from bare twigs is a sight I’ve not seen here in Australia. The ubiquitous … More I miss…
Maybe not in every way but I did feel I was getting back to normal this morning. Then I changed the dressing… which stunk. The nail looks like it’s hanging off and it really isn’t looking as good as I’d hoped it might. In an effort to ward off any *more* problems, I’m off to … More Every day in every way…
Lying in bed last night and I started to think… I do occasionally… honest! Anyway, I started thinking about ‘the last time’ for doing, seeing, saying (etc.) things and whether we would have done whatever it was differently had we been aware it *was* to be the last time… for whatever it was. 🙂 This … More So there I am lying in bed…
I’m sure lots of you know how addicted I am to books with complex story lines and highly developed characterisation. The two most obvious I’ve been ‘hooked’ by have been the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy (and the associated supplementary texts), and of course The Harry Potter series. Well for the past few nights I’ve … More Inheritance: Eragon's saga
Lowering the tone slightly from the last post… .. the wife called me in to the ‘study’ this morning and told me to see what the ‘white thing’ was on the top of a set of cupboards. Thinking it was something the kids had left behind when they left for school I reached up. Then … More Spot the cat.
