It’s been a very busy and a very sad week. Saying goodbye to Ames at the airport on Tuesday morning with a future that can only be described, at the moment, as “uncertain”. On Thursday I got a call from my friend, Daniel. He had gone walking and cycling up in the mountains but he [...]

If you’re not into the band R.E.M. you should probably stop reading this now. Not that I want you to go, just that there’s no point in reading about something you’re not interested in. Then again now that I think about it, this sort of thing – or at least some aspects of it – [...]

Just thought I’d see what I’d be like if I was made into a South Park character – albeit more of a “Cartman sized” super plus model :). If anyone out there wants to create their own South Park character then simply go to the “Create your own South Park character” website and get cracking!

“I sat in my bedroom in amazement today at the countless, premeditated and almost obscene advertising on my TV screen. It made me want to puke at the generous exposure given to critical investments that often dwindle away and make you feel gloomy, lonely and useless. Some of it was just zany and laughable! Even [...]

I’d thought I’d mention more about where I live and the house itself – as a continuation from yesterday’s post. The property is situated amongst a few small farmlets and an increasing number of suburban houses. Indeed many of the small farms are being bought up to turn into estates where people can live together [...]

For some reason lately I’ve been reminded of my first childhood memories? I think it’s because Amy, in her illness, has “regressed” somewhat in her memories. 90% of the stuff she talks about is of childhood memories. Not even memories from last year or a couple of years ago. Nope, they’re basically all about her [...]

I have a theory. It’s not based on anything in particular. No news reports or university studies or political agendas to speak of, or…….No, actually, scratch that! It’s not really a theory at all. It’s just a “feeling”. It’s a feeling I’ve had for a long time now….maybe ten years or so? I don’t know [...]

There are some very strange people in this world. Some are strange in a good way. Others are not so fortunate. Then again there are some that you just can’t categorize, but you know they’re really really quite odd. Point in case: Our neighbor…… Now while we don’t really have much to do with him [...]

Today I’ve spent most of my time sleeping in bed because I’ve not been feeling well. I think it’s just a general “flu-y” thing that’s going around but I’m feeling better now. I’m not sure how Amy’s been today but I suspect she’s been OK? As long as she gets to listen to her new [...]

I was in church with Amy today and the priest mentioned something about a raffle to help…..well….someone?? I didn’t listen that far into the sentence I have to say – mainly because by then I’d already wandered off in my own mind. I do that a lot at church. Amy says that’s “acceptable” though, which [...]
