Tired but not retired
Hello again I'm sorry not to have written for so long. The day job has been manic in terms of content and discontent, politics and puerrile naval gazing so no change there! However, I've written the first two draft chapters of my novel so that has halped but also taken me away from Blogit. We also...

AGM: Let's all panic
The company holds its AGM today and annual Members' Lunch. People here are of course running around like headless chickens as this is a major publicity exercise. Those that are particularly frantic are those who use it as ain internal publicity exercise to show how good they are. Never mind; had a...

Day job taking all day
Sorry for not posting for a few days. In truth the day job has been really hectic again and so, so dull at the same time! Christian and I went up to Derbyshire at the weekend to stay with my parents and had a lovely time - Dad's breathing seems to be a lot better. They live in a converted barn in...

Down but not out
I hope you all enjoyed Easter Sunday. We had a lazy morning with the papers, radio and lots of coffee then drove into Cambridge to pick Ivan up. His party in Southend seemed to go well - so well it was a struggle for him to stay awake for the rest of the day. Susan and I then had a lovely walk...

Bacon sandwiches
were a great start to our day today. Ivan and Christian managed to drag themselves out of bed as the sizzling sounds and enticing aromas spread through the sleepy haze of relaxation. Ivan then left for a party in Southend with some of his old friends from the Royal Ballet School while Christian went...

A new beginning
At 2.00 GMT on Good Friday 2009, I started my novel! I know that sounds a little grand and pretentious but I am so thrilled that I have finally made a start. It feels as though I have waited my whole life for this moment. I know that those two words 'The End' are a long way off and may disappear in...

Sickness
I'm afraid I haven't been online this week because I've been on a different kind of line: a horizontal one! I got up at 5.30 on Monday morning and just felt dreadful so had Monday and yesterday off. I went into London this morning and felt even worse so have come home again and will do a bit from...

It was as good as we hoped
For those of you who read my last post, you'll remember that the boys and I were travelling to Colchester yesterday to see our soccer team - Leeds United - play. We don't get chance to see them too often so when they play in East Anglia we do our best to get tickets. I've written about the match in...

A good 24 hours
Thanks for everyone who commented on yesterday's post. The concert at Ivan's school was really enjoyable. He played bass guitar in two pieces and cymbals and the triangle in another! There was a marvellous string quartet playing Brahms through to a jazz band playing Dave Brubeck; Susan and I had to...
