Things To Make Me Smile (and a few things that annoy me)

  • That They Might Face The Rising Sun

    I’m finally getting around to watching some of the stuff I recorded over Christmas, and in yesterday’s case it wasn’t the one just gone. I finally watched “That They Might Face The Rising Sun” (in case you hadn’t guessed). I’m slightly undecided about it but I think I shall come down on the favourable side.… Read more

  • Do Something

    Over the last few days I’ve been catching glimpses of myself in the mirror and to say unappealing and disappointing is putting it mildly.  Is this the moment that the change happens  – no, not that change – the mindset change.   I saw a reel on Insta and it was Joanne Donnelly and she… Read more

  • AI & IT

    I don’t have the soul of a programmer and I don’t have the patience to be one either.  I want to say last week but I think it was the week before, we had a hack-athon / prompt-athon where we had to come up with ways of automation that would help us in our day… Read more

  • Tidy Your Room!

    I know!  When we were younger that was the last thing we wanted to hear from our parents.  Well I’m saying it to you now – tidy your bedroom. Last night was one of those little moments where I realised I couldn’t have somebody come in here ’cause the place is just cluttered with clothes… Read more

  • Starting the Summer

    It’s the May Bank Holiday Weekend – although I will admit that I woke this morning wondering if it really was a bank holiday or should I be getting up to go to work, but I think that’s a normal reaction.  Anyway – May, Summer – I had a productive day on Saturday – I… Read more

  • I’ve been out of the apartment

    I’ve gone from an almost hermit like existence to being less of a hermit.  I can’t really say social butterfly because that would really give the wrong impression.  On the other hand compared to normal it could be used… Anyway – this year I decided to go to things and do things.  The last few… Read more

  • Decisions

    This is just a small follow up from the post on the 25th of Jan – It’s time to nuke my X/Twitter accounts – I’ve two – one where I’m me and one where I’m not me and therefore a little bit more me. Yes I know that makes no sense whatsoever!  So a quick… Read more

  • Encounters

    Why did I let my neighbour erode my joy? Ok – scene – my apartment faces out to a carpark – that’s a spot of exaggeration – my apartment is built behind a row of houses and all the houses have their parking spaces at the back – so the view from one side of… Read more

  • Slow Sunday Morning

    It’s been a relaxing morning I woke up had a look at the weather forecast and decided that comfort was going to be the order of the day. I eventually got out of the bed and went to the kitchen and blended stuff to make a smoothie type thing.  I’d previously bought a smoothie thing… Read more

  • Moving Over

    The past evening or two I’ve been going through the list of folk I follow on X and looking to see if they have made the jump to BlueSky. Some have and some haven’t, some even got skipped, and that it possibly the part that made me happy. Looking at the list and the batches of… Read more
