Supermarket talk

Jamie said tonight that the best part about being in a relationship is going to the supermarket and chattering all the way around and arriving home not realising that you have just enjoyed completed the most mundane life task and enjoyed every leisurely moment of it. She is right everything is easy and enjoyable when […]

Waiting in a layby

Sat here waiting for Jamie’s train to arrive at Crewe Station 21:04 I could have let her get a taxi but that would have meant waiting at home an extra 30 mins before I see her and that just ain’t gonna happen, rather spend that time in the car with her. Kids are at home […]

The Fizz

Water is the elixir of life and I need it every day but water is boring I just don’t enjoy drinking it, so add coffee and sugar Now fizzy water is far more interesting same thing but with something extra something that makes water interesting Jamie is the fizz to my life, yeh it’s OK […]

Make me proud

As I am back at work both children are still off school and because Jamie is also working too, they are pretty much left to their own devices and they are so great at that because of video calling and the fact that they can have a laugh with their mates without leaving the house. […]

Back to life

Not sure I realised just how much I was enjoying being off work even if I had spent a lot of time working. It was just nice to go down to me shed and just be me, woodworking darts listening to music or a podcast. Whatever took me fancy really, it was nice? Today I […]

New Years Day

After having such a productive day yesterday fixing all the available cladding to the end of my shed (just never got around to doing it) they were sawn ready just needed a bit of good weather and the inclination. I also fastened the facia boards to the far end of the shed, yet again made […]
