The ramblings of a discombobulated mind
Let me begin this post by stating that after 4 years living and working in Frankfurt, I still don’t speak German. I speak a bit more than I give myself credit for, and I understand an awful lot, but I don’t speak enough. Something I want to rectify, but things keep getting in my way….excuses [...]
Now, before you go saying anything..I know, I know..I have been remiss. I completely failed to take advantage of the perfect opportunity to start the year as I mean to go on. Namely, I didn’t make the (seemingly) obligatory “Year In Review/Happy New Year” post.
I did plan on writing one…then got busy and put it [...]

Or so wrote the inimitable, and not at all tramp like, harpy marrying, ridiculous child naming, humanitarian and all around do-gooder..Bob Geldof
Now yes, I realise that it isn’t Christmas time yet…despite what the shops and TV adverts are telling us. However, I have now confirmed [...]
Photo by Xosé CastroI don’t know if I can say that I am completely suffering from writers block right now…writers malais possibly, writers half a job definitely…the problem I have is that I have ideas…see things, hear things that would normally dump me in front of my PC for a decent writing session. Now, having [...]
Well, I have been in the UK a week with the boys now, and I am having a great time. The amazing British weather has lived up to its world wide reputation and been absolute garbage one day and perfect the next…with a smattering of crap interspersed…you know…just to keep you on your toes.
I am [...]
Some years ago my Dad decided that we really needed to go for a hike around the Brecon Beacons and I am not quite sure why, but I didn’t try and get out of it.
In fact, Dad managed to rope in my brothers to it aswell and off we jolly well went. Not content with [...]
Let me just say right now that I have had a fantastic Christmas. I flew over to Blighty late on the 23rd and, after Dad had been robbed by the car park people for parking in the 15 minute car park instead of the short stay…30 quid for an hour!!!, arrived at my parents place [...]
Whilst I don’t consider myself a typical guy most of the time, I am accutely aware that I tend to be around Christmas time. My usual Christmas gift purchases occur on or around Christmas eve, if I am completely honest. Being single and away from my kids though, means I had to be more organised [...]
So it looks like there is a possibility I will be in England for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with my folks. It goes without saying that I will do my damndest to get to see the kids at the same time, and I am sure I will manage to achieve it. That said, it [...]
Well, I am back from blighty (Britain to you non-natives out there) and I had a wonderful time. I still managed to put almost 1000 miles on the hire car…seems to be my lot in life I guess. What I did have though was an amazing weekend with my 4 (count ‘em) amazing kids.
Not a [...]
