George is calmed

Took delivery of 5 sheets of 50mm Celotex insulation board and spent an hour fitting some and already you can feel the difference, with only half the roof done. Also bought 3 sheets 9mm hardwood ply to cover the roof insulation but will fill any gaps in the insulation with expanding foam and create a […]

Boys will be boys

Lincoln was chilling waiting to go to school but didn’t have his jumper on which I wasn’t happy with because he had been under the weather for the last couple of days and it was cold on my walk earlier so I asked him to put it on. He got it out of his bag […]

Plotted against

Got a reply from my email to my employer basically saying shut up and do as you are told which wass not unexpected but still disheartening. It means the future of where I work is in the hands of a company that sees no future for me in that company but has no idea what […]

Now Summer’s gone
