Most people today use their smart-phone as an alarm clock. Me? I have two children who manage to sleep very deeply school days, and today, which is a Saturday, manage to wake themselves up at 6am sharp, grab metal objects and bang them against the radiators in the house. By 6.15am today I was ready […]
Everyone has a little luxury, you know that little something that brightens your day. Mine? Well that’s good coffee, freshly ground little granules of heaven. This lunchtime we were sitting in church and I was dreaming of fresh coffee hugging blue top milk, and a very crispy bacon sandwich with runny egg in doorstop fresh […]
My little girl has been going on for a while about a movie involving small cartoon horses, and could she go, so me and my wife tossed a coin, and Lady Luck decided that my wife should lose two hours of her life, and I should stay at home with my son! Wait, hang on, […]
Sunday 24th December Yesterday the kids were given a monster type egg cup, complete with monster type hair, so yes you can imagine what they wanted for breakfast this morning.

This week I had the day off, and my wife and I had planned lunch together at a new restaurant, which was where she dropped a bombshell! I had completely forgotten about the school fair, and had avoided this for many years, but thanks to my bad timing I had the day off to join […]
This morning I had the day off of work. I woke up after the birds, to the sound of the bedroom door opening and my wife standing there with a hot coffee. What she said next blew the last remaining brain cells I had left clean away. My wife announced the kids were happy watching […]
Saturday the 28th of Forever Imagine, just imagine being woke up on a Saturday before the birds are out of their nest singing their hearts to the screams of “It’s a slug, it’s a slug! Nope, it’s ok, its just wet tissue roll I made earlier!” Well that was my Saturday wake up call, followed […]
