Did I read that somewhere?

Here’s the thing, sometimes I have difficulty separating fantasy from reality. And

sometimes

I forget what I’ve actually told someone and what I’ve thought ‘oh I must tell such and such about that’. I live in my own head most of the time and always have done.

It’s been a fairly successful morning

Considering I’m feeling rough.

I’ve got a few ideas jotted down for future posts, finished reading and reviewed a book, added feedback on a book over at http://www.netgalley.com, checked my emails, mentally designed a set of cushions and then ordered the materials,  and emailed for a review copy of a book I want to read.

I’ve even managed to eat a sensible breakfast. Next up, dress, dinner, walk the dogs. Might not seem like much but for me it’s progress.

It’s been an interesting day; Or, how I got rid of my recent writer’s block

I’ve tried going to Weight Watchers and Slimming World several times. I’ve spent stupid amounts of money on them, in membership, paraphernalia, branded food etc.Continue reading “Why I’ll not go back to paid weight loss groups”

If I ruled the country…

It was a particularly fruitful ride in the cold/almost rain this morning (see previous post). I had another thought. Scary, two in one twelve minute motorcycle ride through Lincolnshire. The second thought was on the nature of government, namely if I ran the country what would I do?

The Confusion Monkey strikes again!

I was supposed to be working today. The permanent Sensory QA is on holiday, I’m covering a few days. Except, someone didn’t know this, or more correctly the precise details, and asked one of the minions to cover.

On the cold, and slightly damp ride home I decided that the Technical department had a Confusion Monkey hiding among the files. It’s a bit like the Lab Elf at my last job. I shall tell you about the Confusion Monkey; gather round children.
