Pension benefits

I receive an annual update from my company's pension trustees. It updates all kinds of financial indicators, along with a commentary which, I strongly suspect, is cleverly written to keep us non-pension experts from asking too many difficult questions. Of course everything has a positive sheen.... Sign in to see full entry.

Dentist's Chair

Our eldest son is having to undergo treatment for rogue teeth. He has a number of problems including baby teeth not having come out of their own accord (he is thirteen), teeth not pointing in the direction they should and teeth deciding that the inside of his mouth is less preferable to the gums...

Autumn in August

I haven't been around for a while so apologies for the lack of posts! When I last travelled, though, I was standing on the station platform at six o'clock in the morning and sensed a change. This morning, I realised that autumn has arrived. That may sound strange because today is very warm and sunny... Sign in to see full entry.

Unexpected

I've mentioned in another of my Blogit entries that my first love died when she was just twenty four. She was a soul partner but not an earth partner. I have often felt her near to me since. She comes into my thoughts when I least expect it (not that I ever really do expect it) or I realise that she... Sign in to see full entry.

You know when

you have days when work just seems pointless? I had one today. It's partly my fault because I couldn't sleep last night and spent an hour from 12.45 to 1.45am catching up on some stuff and writing on Blogit. So yes, I'm tired before I start. But isn't it often the case that, when you're physically... Sign in to see full entry.

Anyone for tennis

We've just been to to the local leisure centre in the village to play tennis. Our younger son, who is ten, is very sporty and beginning to get really good. He has a natural backhand which I hope future training or coaching will work with rather than against. Our little girly is eight and can barely... Sign in to see full entry.

Scrabble

Our little girl asked me last night if we could have a game of Junior Scrabble. It was past her bedtime but I promised we'd play today. She didn't make a fuss about it but bounded into my arms when I got home from work this evening and whispered those words known to all parents "You did promise!" We... Sign in to see full entry.

Small voice

We went to a dance festival yesterday in a local village. The school my wife runs did well and our daughter won a number of prizes and a cup for her overall performance. We were all really pleased, as of course was she. The day was marred a little for me though, not by bitchy comments among rival... Sign in to see full entry.

Travelling with my mummy

There was a little girl of about nine or ten on the train today. She was already on it when I joined the train and sat down in a seat across the aisle from her. On the other side of her was her mother. I thought the little girl was staring at me (not unusual when, as a child, you come face to face... Sign in to see full entry.

Tantrums at Tesco

My wife returned from her weekly shopping trip to Tesco a little while ago. She takes my mother too and they always go for a coffee afterwards before loading up the car and returning home. As soon as she walked in, I knew that something was wrong. It transpired that, just as they were putting the... Sign in to see full entry.
