Yesterday and today have been nice and relaxing as any Rest Days should be. I say relaxing, but there have been fraught moments and the occasional curse as I’ve been trying to set up some new tech that I’ve splurged on. Not much, just a couple of things that I’ve…

Well, we’re a whole week into another year and I’m already learning. Nothing earth-shattering, just… well, stuff. Stuff like how damn quick Gracie is to defrost in the mornings. This week I have been on the early shift at work, which suits my lifestyle as I’m usually up and about…

I’ve had a lot on my mind recently, and unfortunately some of my less understanding colleagues have pointed this out to my managers. Fortunately my managers are more understanding of my situation and have given me a kick in the certain area that other colleagues haven’t noticed I need to…

Yes, it’s that time of year and what a weekend, eh? Temperatures reaching up to the high twenties celsius, clear sunny skies and thoughts of strawberries and cream as we witness a new British hero in that tennis tournament down in SW19. Well, I say “we witness”, but sadly I…
