Birthday Parity

Hello, dear reader!

And welcome to the parity.

That’s right, after a couple of months where things between myself and my superspouse, Tina have been subtly out of whack, we’re finally back on an equal footing.

Because, once again, we’re the same age.

Vision quest

Hello, dear reader!

I have an issue.

It’s not a brand new issue, if I’m honest but one of those creeping, gradual, ‘sinking into quicksand’ type situations. The type that without you really noticing at any point, becomes something that could cause real problems.

I’m talking about my eyes.

The Write Time

Hello, dear reader!

Hey there, peeps.

Today I want to talk to you about two of the three Rs, namely reading and writing (we’ll leave the arithmetic for another time).

No, I realise this won’t be to everyone’s taste and I’m pretty sure I can hear the sounds of computers being shut down and phones turned off even as I type but bear with me.

Please?

All Quiet

Hello, dear reader!

It’s going to be a relatively short one today.

The reasons for this are twofold.

Firstly, I’m a little under the weather, having endured a restless night due to a badly upset tum-tum. Secondly, there’s not actually a whole lot to report on right now. Something I actually class as a good thing.

Phoenix Rising

Hello, dear reader!

So as promised by my husband (The cheek !) here's some thoughts from a more female perspective on some of the events from the last month or so.

The saga began with a phone call, which prompted a series of events that haven't really slowed down… Yet.

The Holiday Delay Delay

Hello, dear reader!

I’m back!

Yes, after no less than four whole weeks away from you, I have returned refreshed, reinvigorated, and only ever so slightly on the poorly side. Because there’s not one but two delays that have contributed to this extended period of radio silence.

And Breathe!

Hello, dear reader!

It’s fair to say it’s been an interesting time of late.

Those who are regular readers of these poor offerings will remember that last week’s post was a short and somewhat cryptic one and, as intimated, this was from necessity.

But, time has passed and, with the full permission of Tina, my ever-exemplary wife, the time has come to lift the curtain on the reasons for that. Something I’ll do right now.
