One Hundred Days

30Nov09

My concentration is shot to bits at the moment so I’ve been wandering around the world wide web today and have come across Josie Long’s 100 days project via mondo a-go-go’s blog. To quote from the website : “From 1 December 2009, Josie Long cordially invites you to pledge to do one thing every day for 100 […]

“The universe and human stupidity”*

30Nov09

Today is my birthday – I’m thirty nine years of age and struggling to embrace my first day on the road to forty. Yes I’m feeling sorry for myself (see earlier entries) and yes I know I shouldn’t be, but still . . . Thankfully I feel a little less alien in the world thanks […]

Mundane

15Nov09

For many years I worked for Her Majesty’s Civil Service. Somewhat by choice but to be honest mostly out of an almost chronic lack of ambition and to be really really honest because Texas Homecare turned me down.

Keep Watching The Skies

05Nov09

I’ve been waiting to post this for a while now because it may be appearing elsewhere on the internet, however as a couple of people have asked me about my visit I thought I’d put it here at digyourfins for the moment as well. If it does appear elsewhere I’ll be sure to say . […]
