Yep, I know, it’s Christmas day and I’m posting a blog with a title that’s about death. Well, it’s not all jingle bells for everyone at this time of year, right? At the time of starting this, it’s 6:20 am and I’ve been awake for 90 mins crying. On Christmas fucking day… I would suggest… Continue reading (Don’t fear) the reaper

Pop Musik
You'll probably get the reference if you're of a certain age; if not, don't worry. I'll still let you read on... So, this will be all about music, which is probably no surprise as most of my blogs reference it in some way, shape or form. It's definitely safe to say that music is my… Continue reading Pop Musik
More!
I am feeling reflective on a late Sunday afternoon in November. I've been talking loads about what has been and not much about what will be. That needs to change. After all, we're not going backwards, are we? As always, a song is linked to the blog's title. It feels like this is a thing… Continue reading More!
Let me be your fantasy
In the last blog, I spoke a bit more about my relationship and how ADHD, hormones and mental health are affecting it. One of the things I talked about is maladaptive daydreaming. This is something that could be linked to both ADHD and some mental health disorders. Essentially, you can daydream for hours and control… Continue reading Let me be your fantasy
At the heart of it all
Yep, another song track - but I'm not telling you who this one is by. Answers on a postcard, please... And yes, this is another blog about love, or at least my take on it. You all know by now that these last two years haven't been exactly kind to me, so my relationship with… Continue reading At the heart of it all
Love me or leave me
I am 50. I have no idea how I got here, but one thing that I've started to realise over the last six months since my birthday is that I am different. I really noticed this yesterday when I was wandering back to the car after being in the Trafford Centre with my sister. This… Continue reading Love me or leave me
Can you see the real me?
This is not the first time this has been the title of a blog or an article. I originally used this over on LinkedIn as a title for an article which talked about the transition from corporate to freelance work, back in 2018. You can read that article here if you feel like you want… Continue reading Can you see the real me?
Are ‘Friends’ Electric
Yeah, I know; another song title and another blog quickly after the last one. But that's how I roll; music always is and always will be my first love. Gary Numan was one of them. 1979 Top of the Pops, with Tubeway Army, god, he was something otherworldly... Along with Adam Ant, before he was… Continue reading Are ‘Friends’ Electric
It’s Tricky
Before we even get into this blog, you need to know as soon as I think about the title, I am singing 'It's Tricky' by Run DMC. I need to get that out there - because it's sending me crackers! What we also need to get out there is 'it's tricky' is probably the biggest… Continue reading It’s Tricky
What the fudge?
OK, I've been absent for over a hot minute, right? If I was to sit down and write about what had happened in the last two years, we'd be here for a very long time. No one needs that. Let's just say that life has been turned upside down on many fronts; I don't necessarily… Continue reading What the fudge?
