Note: This is one of my more unusual articles. There’s nothing bad, and no bad language either. Just, umm, oddness. I spot things. I have an unusual attention to detail that means that means I see things most people miss. Whilst this often means humdrum things like trying to decipher personalised number plates on cars, [...]
Here in the UK, a General Election has been called for 6th May. In the grand scheme of things, I’m not very big on politics. However, whenever a general election happens, I end up getting very drawn into it all, with very set views all of a sudden. I’m a liberal. Not out of choice [...]
I’m sure that everyone finds it difficult to be positive all of the time, no matter how high their self confidence is. My self confidence level moves around hugely, but on average has never been very high. Trying to keep my glass half full rather than half empty is a problem that I face frequently, and even after [...]
I’ve been left with a familiar feeling. So much so, that I nearly entitled this piece Groundhog Day. But to call it that that would just be showing another of my traits – the one where I present my own interpretation of things as fact, without having all the information needed. Passing off BS as [...]
Ah yes – Peter Pan, the boy that never grew up. I was left feeling like Peter yesterday. It all started when we rushed out the door on Sunday morning. I took the kids to the rugby ground – my son for his weekly training session, and my daughter to stand and watch with me, [...]
I wasn’t intending to have a break in writing these last few weeks – it’s just the way that things have worked out. Interestingly, the reasons behind my lack of writing have ended up being very life-affirming for me. First, the good news: I was approached by someone I used to work with a couple [...]
This, in a sense, is a follow up to the article I wrote earlier about my experience with dipping into autism advocacy. If you haven’t already done so, it would make sense for you to read that article first. – Imagine if you will, a hypothetical mother. She has an autistic son. She believes that [...]
I seem to have mislaid my apostrophes. Oh, and I keep wanting to spell apostrophes as apostrophies. As a child, my spelling was never very good, and whilst I tried hard to learn the rules surrounding grammar, apostrophes, and how to write speech using quotes, my execution was never very good. I could write a [...]
These days, if you catch me after I’ve been busy for a while, you may find me to be initially unresponsive. Many people over the years have commented that I seem to be away in a little day dream world. From my perspective it’s no day dream, its more of a shut down. Let me [...]
Yes really. I woke up on Monday morning, and felt terrible. My head pounded, my view of the world felt hazy and I had pain in my kidneys. I felt decidedly hungover. I cursed myself for drinking on what had been a rare night of being on my own. And then it dawned on me. [...]
