It came like a bolt from the blue. It always does. My wife wanted to talk. Not a friendly talk, but one of those talks where she wants to vent her huge frustration with me. She’s very good at this, and whether she realises it or not, has a canny knack of vicious character assassination, in [...]
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 [...]
It’s been a while, hasn’t it? My new job is going well – very well. That is the biggest reason that I’ve not been writing here. It’s not that I couldn’t find the time to write, it’s a little more subtle than that. My new job has become my current special interest, and has taken [...]
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’m finding that I’m needed to write each morning when I get into work this week. If I don’t attempt to empty my brain a bit, I can’t settle down to the work that I’m being paid to do. So it’s Wednesday morning, and here I am writing once more. What’s on my mind today? [...]
In the front left pocket of my jeans is a pen. And my mobile phone. Oh, and a tiny little USB thumb drive with data for things I’m working on. That last item is a new addition in the last couple of months. In the front right pocket of my jeans are all my coins, [...]
I’ve spent the last week listening. Listening to how my body reacts when pushed hard. I’ve been quite surprised at what I’ve heard. I shouldn’t be. My body reacted no differently than it ever has done. What was different this time was that I was seeing it through the eyes of Asperger’s. My old explanations [...]
Whilst browsing the web a few evenings ago, I found myself – as I often do – following my thought process to see where it would lead me. My starting point was a news item I’d seen earlier in the day that had piqued my curiosity. The story was this – a ghost village near [...]
