The Last Resort

Hello, dear reader!

And guess who’s just booked a holiday!

Well, no it isn’t me. I will be though. Tomorrow to be precise!

Crash Landing

Hello, dear reader!

You find me today in a somewhat unravelled state.

Don’t worry, I’m not talking on the clothing front. No, I’m suitably decent and inoffensive in my appearance (well, as inoffensive as I get, anyway).I’m more talking on the mental side of things.

Unspecial Delivery

Hello, dear reader!

All good things, or so they say, come to he who waits

This week that theory was well and truly put to the test by an experience that showed both the good and the bad sides of customer service

Allow me to elaborate.

A matter of Perspective

Hello, dear reader!

So its my turn to chat with you this week...a few wise words from the wifey!

As some of you will be aware, one of my hobbies is to do paint-by-numbers paintings.

Serendipity

Hello, dear reader!

I have heard it said that everything happens for a reason.

Personally, I think that’s just a touch trite and fanciful. I don’t ascribe to any higher purpose or grand plan, and the only gears I see moving behind most things are the laws of physics, human stupidity and greed—or the awesome power of sheer bloody mindedness.

Then again…

Big Break

Hello, dear reader!

It’s probably going to be a quick one today.

That is for two reasons. One., I seem to have lost the ability to type with any accuracy (what do you mean, what’s new?) and two, there’s not been an awful lot going on over the last week.

It leaves me with somewhat of a dearth of subjects to whitter on about, so, instead of taking the time to look back, I’m going to look into the future.

The Road Most Travelled

Hello, dear reader!

And breathe!

Yes, for what seems like the first time this year, a whole week had passed us by without any expensive emergencies cropping up, and long may it continue.

It gives me the headspace to look a little further afield when considering the subject matter or this week’s offering. Not too far, you understand, but certainly outside these four walls. In fact, it also takes us to the end of the street.
You see, for some time now, we’ve been suffering from intermittent road works.
