Things that are amusing me
I may be a little late to the party, but I’m enjoying flitting around http://visual.ly/ a fair bit at the moment – in particular where their infographics concern blogging and social media and have been...

So I Got A Tattoo
As I sit here, wrapping Christmas presents and wondering why most of my US-based friends are acting a bit odd today it suddenly occurs that I’ve not updated in a week or so and I’ve actually had quite...

Morning All
Its a difficult time of year for me – largely as an anniversary of an event quite some time ago that still has an ongoing effect on me. For the most part this manifests itself as bad dreams, restless...

Monday Yuck
I can tell it’s a Monday, my eyes feel gritty and I really want to be curled up in bed. It is a phenomenon I’m well familiar with, as I’m sure many of you are too. Having had a relatively quiet...

A low week
As much as I sometimes mutter and moan about the writing, there’s no doubt that I wouldn’t miss it for the world. This is especially true when feeling down and in need of distraction. This week is a...

Bad Dreams
I had a remarkably grim set of nightmares through the evening last night, waking several times and picking them back up in such a way that each seemed to be an episode of some grimly sadistic and gory...

Not the kind of rollercoaster I enjoy
Today’s been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, as opposed to the type that I’m normally found talking about. It hasn’t even been easy to define quite what the problem has been either – so it was...

Rough week
I’m not going into all the ins and outs of things, but it’s been a tough week on the mental health side of things, and that’s led to my dropping a couple of the juggled balls along the way. Being the...

Online Identity
Maybe it’s a result of my unabashed geekdom, but I’m increasingly aware of how few of the people I grew up with seem to have embraced technology. While I’m sure they are still out there, it does seem...

Ready For A Break
I have to be up in the morning. We’re off on holiday to Disney and as far as I can tell, everything is sorted and ready to go. Our bags are packed, a friend has agreed to check in on the flat and water...

Gloom and Doom
I’ve struggled a bit about whether to blog about how I’m doing as opposed to what I’m doing. In part it’s a hesitancy to wash dirty linen in public, or at least that’s how it can feel, and in part...

Doing Better
To the relief of pretty much everyone I seem to have come out the other side of the major dip this week – though not without giving my counsellor pause to wonder if it was sheer exhaustion rather than...

No game update this week
Unusually for me, the lack of a game update this week is entirely deliberate rather than the result of being busy and/or unable to plan my days. Instead it was Lady M’s birthday, which is always...

End of the year
So farewell 2014, and hi 2015. We’ve had a bit of a wobbly journey, but overall it’s not been too bad for us on a personal level. Certainly, compared to some of the previous recent years it has been a...

The Little Things
I made a mistake today. One of the areas of stock control we do in the library is the removal of older and damaged books from the shelves. The branch I work at is one of the smaller ones, but it is...

Danger In The Dark Write-Up
Well, I managed to get this week’s session written up today, in between taking the car in for its MOT, meeting surveyors and doing various household odds. I’ve been glad to be mostly back at home...

Articles and Powercuts
It’s been a bit of a mixed day, at least for those around me. My day has gone rather well, with articles flying off the presses and some pleasant chats with various people through the day. Keep Calm...

Bit of a low day
Really not sure what to make of today: I bought a mattress topper for our bed and it’s transformed our bed back into something we can sleep on, rather than a treacherous no mans land looking for...

Late night conversations
There may, in fact, actually be too much blood in my caffeine stream I’ve always been a night owl, and it takes a real effort sometimes to settle to sleep at the same time as Lady M. I do it because...

Fiction Fragment: Black Dog Barking
It’s been, and continues to be, a rough few days. This just came boiling out in my notebook, and it works both as a block break and a semi-autobiographical vent: The black dog is barking, and it takes...
