Finally got round to writing my review of the Christmas Doctor Who episode over on my other blog (13 out of 20 was the score in case you can’t be bothered going to read it). This means that there’s not much of an update here today. You may even be wondering why I came here [...]

Less Is More
Posted: April 12, 2011 in FortiesTags: blogging, eBay, less is more, productivity, sports
I’ve always been intrigued by the expression “less is more” but never really lived by the edict in any practical sense. An understanding that quality is better than quantity has been my assumption as to what lies at the heart of this. Of late though, I have been giving this a slight re-evaluation via a [...]
So, apart from making lists and a slight false start when I started blogging about my short holiday up in London, it is fair enough to ask the question of what I have been doing on this ten week, self-imposed sabbatical. Well, the truth is thoroughly mundane: I just got a little bored by the [...]
On The First Day Of Christmas
Posted: December 21, 2010 in FortiesTags: blogging, Christmas, new year, Planning, resolutions, Twelve Days Of Christmas
The twelve days of Christmas, I believe, are the twelve days that run from Boxing Day to the 6th January. I’m not sure quite where the gift giving that is reflected in the song of the same name originates and I’ve never really heard of anybody who would go through the trouble of working out [...]
Don’t panic! It’s not the “last post” really. In fact, it’s more like a first post but it does mark an ending because I am, by all accounts, officially and despite all efforts to avoid it, forty years old (with due emphasis on the “old” bit). A year ago, I started blogging on this site [...]
Out With The Old

The (final) News in Haiku #28…. “I missed two haikus, But think I enjoyed my month’s Poetry challenge” The end of November and all is well. My month’s writing challenge was more manageable than the NaNoWriMo one that I had initially planned seeing as I only had to come up with seventeen syllables-a-day rather than [...]
The News in Haiku #20….. “Ireland is bailed out: Seven billion from U.K. Where’s that cash come from?” For fifty weeks I have been happily blogging away here and in just two week’s time I will have arrived as a fortysomething and this project will be complete. Following yesterday’s double post, I have, as desired, [...]
The Disc That Slipped
Posted: November 20, 2010 in CountdownTags: blogging, Children in Need, x-factor
Following yesterday’s interruption to normal proceedings for the Children in Need appeal (£18m raised on the night), tonight’s blogging is continuing the theme of non-standardness. No haiku, lists or daily stats for you today because, after three hours in the carevenly split either side of a Christmas shopping marathon in Bluewater, my body is giving [...]
The News in Haiku #13…. “X-Factor outrage Doesn’t stop me watching it. More fool me, I s’pose” Having a day away from it all and babysitting for the family. Walk in the park, afternoon watching Kung Fu Panda, spagbol for tea, now bedtime for nieces. Should just be in time to settle down on sofa [...]
Tales Of The Gas-Man

The News in Haiku #8…. “Miliband’s a dad; A second son. But will he Stitch up his bro too?” The central heating broke yesterday. It’s in moments like this when I realise how thoroughly ill-equipped I am as a handyman. Now I know that one needs to be Corgi-registered before so much as contemplating the [...]
