Chaos and Cricket

As chaos reigned at Middlewich High Reagan felt unsafe so text her Mom to say some pupils were protesting the toilets being locked all day so pupils are unable to use them, something we as parents do not agree with and the school have been told about but they had taken this decision to stop […]

Glad you’re happy again, Dad

As we walked to Youthie tonight Lincoln said to me “You’re happy today Daddy, you’re going to be happy tomorrow and the next day and the next and the next, I’m glad you’re happy again!” We chatted all the way to Market Field and off he went into the Wych Centre leaving me to walk […]

Coping better

Just got in from playing pool and pleased we actually won a match sadly too rare this season so to take all the points with a 5 3 win against White Lion a good side with some very good players was really good! With no car because I can’t tax it because the MOT ran […]

Finding Joy

Jamie said to me this morning “you have to find joy because work is not your life!” and it made me realise that I really have forgotten what brings me joy? What I hadn’t realised was how much being appreciated for doing a good job at work is important to me. That should not matter […]

Home again

We just sat and watched TV I put an American comedienne on called Karen Morgan and she was funny and after BBC4 had a Queen night I watched Jamie looked at her phone and occasionally looked at the TV and slept for a while. She’d been in London since Thursday afternoon and I went to […]

Pressure and Stress?
