Give up your day job.


Once again, I aint got nothing, I’m as empty as my wallet, I have let my creative juices dry up, I feel like Private Pike as I keep saying to myself “stupid boy” in the voice of Captain Mainwaring and I had been doing so well.

The last cunning plan crashed and burned almost on take-off (I should have known it was never going to be that easy) but rising like a phoenix is the same insane dream just modified with a sense of reality (sort of) regarding the time scale, it’s still a cunning plan, it’s just going to take slightly longer than realised, that gives me a little more time in reality to declutter our lives and to bring the house up to scratch, but rest assured the plan is moving forward. No doubt the further adventures of my lunacy will raise their head as soon as something happens!

I have been incredibly busy at work, so much so that the well has run dry, I can’t multi task or focus on too many things! I still have ideas and sparks of blogs, but by the time I get to resolve my idea and commit to paper, its so watered down the magic has gone from it! To rectify that I have bought two little black books (not to be carried at the same time) to carry with me so that I can jot down those little sparks of an idea! I honestly was never a boy scout, but I do like to be prepared, who knew!
Family life is spiralling at the moment with all of us so busy there is hardly the chance to catch our breath, thankfully the youngest is catching our coat tails and putting us back on the right line, every little helps, the pooch is also doing his best to bring cheer to us all and greets who ever rocks up to the front door with a wag of his tail, thankfully bonfire night wasn’t too stressful for him even though it was like the battle of the Somme on the night itself! (another part of the reason for the cunning plan to crash and burn quite literally).

I will admit to avoiding the TV as much as possible as “Brexit (as in couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery) is incredibly annoying, round them all up put them in a field, and simply leave them there, I’m not wishing anybody any ill will. It’s simply just those people who look after themselves (I wish I got subsidised bait at work) the money jockeys are only looking after themselves (again), I knew that this would happen, hence the reason for avoiding Brexit, I have no intention of discussing this on this particular medium (actually on any medium for that matter), I don’t think that the FBI would help me with any death threats that might come my way, well at least on that subject matter!

Now as we rush headlong into the least favourite part of the year, my birthday and Christmas all in the mix, I cant wait for the 30th of December to say hiccy burpday to the Mrs, I know that she needs some cheering up, that’s why I keep buying her flowers of late,  I haven’t done anything wrong I just wish to ease her ride through the rich tapestry that we call life, I can be a nice person when I try, I know I need to try a little harder, at least for the wife’s sake, bless her!

I’m hoping that by doing this spontaneous blog the juices erupt like Vesuvius (ooer missus) that does sound wrong even as I read it back to myself, hey ho its done now, I intend to tinker over the weekend to complete something more meaningful, on that note I have decided to try and finally publish “The Whalers Dues” no later than New Year’s day, fingers crossed. It’s taken me longer to finish this particular blog than it has taken George RR Martin has to complete game of scones, at least I think that’s what his series of books are called, I’m not sure, as I’m old and infirm and don’t seem to have much recall these days! I have decided on a path hopefully not full of bitterness and bile, I hope it’s as good as I have thought it was, if not I have wasted a shit load of time trying to polish this particular turd, who knows let’s see how it goes. As always, I’m sure that you all will be vocal and tell me!

The old blogs have been ticking away with most days in double figures for the older ones, someone must be bored as they trawl through the classics (cough splutter) that’s part of the reason why I haven’t put pen to paper (so to speak) why spoil a good thing I would hate to over burden you the discerning reader, music is the order of the day with playing more and more just to fill the void of TV, I have no intention of resorting to Drag Race like the wife does (and yes I knew it wasn’t about cars) life is far too short to waste what little time I have in my life (me full of doom and gloom …..never) I’m sure that it will come out in the wash!

And yes the name game is in play!

So that’s the spur of the moment blog done, already I can feel the juices starting to bubble (no its not flatulence…..hang on it might be) thanks for all the kind words and messages at least none of you have thought I was in a deep dark place, I was I simply have some tools to deal with it so hopefully I am a ray of sunshine to my friends and family (again cough splutter) keep spreading the disease and watch the skies as there will be one arriving a lot quicker than this one, I will post as soon as this one starts to run out of steam, I know you all would like some consistency, so do I let’s see how I do (again I’m sure you will all be vocal) so until the next one………..Toodles!
