I just wrote an article the other day about being complacent, then I write one about not being subtle, in which you’d get the impression that I am of two minds. I’d like to clarify that despite the complacency article lead you to believe that I wasn’t being assertive enough in what I believe…. ….the […]

I’ve recently have been told that I lack subtlety; on reflection I do believe that person is right. The problem now is overcoming this. I’ve set my whole outlook on my life around the idea of being direct with what I need to, would like and what I feel. The concept that perhaps such directness […]

Friday evening, site at a stand-still owing to the weather conditions (again) and there I was lingering about seeing what everyone else was doing to fill their time.

My boss (God bless him), is limited to only speaking in colloquialisms and idioms, which to me is great as all he ever says is “in the first instance…”, “within reason”, “to a degree” and so on… and I can quite happily mock him behind his back. Anyhow, he was telling a story about when […]

This week has been very good! I started it off on Monday by beginning my kung-fu & tai-chi classes which I thoroughly loved. Tuesday was good because I did my job well and was told by my boss that the engineering company (sub contractor) would want to snap me up if I wasn’t already working […]

Words fail to describe the things that have gone through my mind today so lets leave it at just a picture and a clip of Pico (the hamster) doing his thing on the coffee table. Click the image to see pico in action! I should point out that the picture and the clip were taken […]
