The swan the ball and the boy

So picture the scene an angry swan, a crying boy, a ball on the canal, a barking dog and did I mention a lovely night for a walk? As we watched helplessly as Lincolns football floated off, the angry swan attacked the ball flicking it towards the bank, as I grabbed the ball the swan […]

Reaching the end of my tether?

When I am raging mad spit comes out of my mouth, I wish it was fire because that’s what should be coming out. This morning for the millionth time I asked Reagan to do something and yet against gave me attitude and told me “I will” but added that she was doing something at that […]

Someone’s going die

Reagan came home and said “Lincolns crying, he’s damaged a parked car on the other side of the bridge and they won’t let him go!” Well let me try to describe the next two minutes Mommy dashed upstairs and changed out of casual clothes she’d been wearing laying in the sun, into t-shirt jeans and […]

182 Days

182 days ago I sat with Jamie I was drunk and I had been drinking regularly for years and I had reached a point where I wanted to take control of it. COVID and lockdown hadn’t helped but it was just an excuse to drink every single day, I had been doing that, way before […]

Appreciate your surroundings

It struck me as I walked along the canal tonight just how beautiful the moment was, as the birds sang all around me ducks with ducklings flitted about in the water, Billy had walked past 3 different dogs and not bothered with them and the sun shone all over it all. It just made me […]

Reflections

I have added another page today, the third page I added recently which I have been working on for ages. I have found some of the questions really challenging to answer and some were really easy, the 75 questions seemed a good idea when I had the idea but I didn’t realise how hard it […]

Long days

Wednesday is the only day I have to go into the office so my day has to start earlier (not by much) because I have to commute, I have to put on a shirt and tie things pre COVID I would not have thought twice about but now it’s become not the norm which is […]

Readers

Today I went for an eye test because I am finding it more and more difficult to see to read and I hope getting a pair of readers stop me straining my eyes, which I think is causing me to have headaches. I have also stopped drinking Lucazade because of the headaches incase its sugar […]

Family Questions answered

Todays blog just advertises the fact that I have added a new page called “Family” these pages are very hard to put together because they are very revealing to me answering the questions and to anyone reading the answers but putting it all down in print feels good. I am almost finished with Reflections the […]

Digging my scene

A good day today I met me mate Tom’s wife Celia on my walk this morning and stood talking to her for 10 minutes followed by Mainy’s Dad Pete for a similar 10 minute chat so even though I was out for over an hour only part of it was spent walking much to Billy’s […]
