The cost of wood is rising
In July I sort of realised that trying to avoid a delivery charge for framing would was going to cost me way more when I loaded Jamie’s car with 13 lengths of 2 x 3s and cracked the windscreen. I immediately promised to sort it out and got on the phone to Autoglass and they […]
A little girl lost
I was asked to read “a brain dump” when I returned from playing pool tonight, I didn’t know what that meant but Jamie handed me the laptop she was holding and went to make a brew. The story was about a man and a woman who met fell in love married and had a daughter […]
Elephant in the room
I knew today was coming but until Jamie asked me to accompany her to Leighton for her appointment it was something I worried about without being able to tell anyone. It’s embarrassing to admit I was worrying when I was not the one who was ill I was not the one who had looked up […]
Sunday morning oldies
I am not sure there’s anything better than waking up every morning next to Jamie, until we get to Sunday and then I realise lazing in bed till 10 with a brew reading and the whole experience just gets better because we don’t have do any “adulting” today. So as we lay there reading and […]

The Del Greening story
A while ago I pre paid for a copy of the Del Greening autobiography and because I did I was “honoured” with a mention on page 324 as part of the Literary Cringe Club. As I have said on many occasions Peter and the Test Tube Babies are my favourite band and Del is guitarist […]
The Damned
The Adverts were just coming on stage when I got there and did a great half hour set which I enjoyed because I have liked their stuff for years and seen them a few times. Penetration came on after them and didn’t really do it for me although they played their songs well I have […]
Damned but not Forgotted
Back in the beginning 2020 I bought two tickets to see The Damned in concert at the O2 Apollo in Manchester, I was so excited to see one of my favourite bands of all time but not only that it was the original lineup Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies and Brian James. I did […]
Dads worried
I keep seeing how dangerous American Football is and it would be a dream to see my son play the game but my worst nightmare if he got seriously hurt, I am not sure I could forgive myself? I am not sure Lincoln wants to play American football because he wants to or because he […]
