Is that a Light?…
After a couple of years of removing stuff from the farm it is now officially just back to a big job. I know this because every person who sees the property tells me so. “This is a big job” they say, “you should have seen it last week/month/year” I say, and we all laugh. Well…

That House from Lethal Weapon 2…
I was a man desperately in need of a metaphor or a simile. Or perhaps a definition of which is which? I tried all variations of falling boots, and life’s similarities to various roads large and small. I even looked into the weight baring nature of ungulates. But in the end I went with a…

Stop the Ride…
I’m having a hell of time focusing on things at the moment. Things are getting done, in a haphazard fashion, but it’s mostly the essentials and often even those are behind schedule. One of the kids had a shower and there weren’t any clean towels. I kind of feel things like that fall into the…

Head Cleaner…
There’s nothing quite like a 600km round trip with half a dozen Ministry of Sound dance albums to clear your head. Even more so on winding roads in a car with a hair trigger for an accelerator. Driving seems to occupy just enough of the cognitive functions of my brain to allow me to think,…

Clean Room Chronicles Pt 3…
I’m starting to think I could have given the whole house an acceptable tidy up in the time its taken to do one room. Actually I’m sure. But I’ve woken up to wardrobe doors I’m not scared to open. I also slept better than i have in a while, possibly due to the reduction in…

Dates matter, the days they fall on not so much. My calendar is filled with little markers on the numbers, I rarely even notice if it has a little F or W above…

It’s Not My Fault…
I’m great at procrastinating, but terrible at relaxing. And that seems really unfair, I could live with not getting something done if I could enjoy not doing it. At the moment I’m blaming all lack of progress today on people not showing up to buy my sofa. If the people had showed up a 9am…

Where’s My Off Switch?
It’s not having lots to do that’s exhausting me, it’s the constantly thinking about the things I have to do that really interferes with my life. I’m not great at just being in the moment and leaving stuff at work, and I really want to be. I’m either worrying about it or doing it, and…

No Prison Can Hold Me…
My first day of house arrest is going well, I totally didn’t go shopping for food, and definitely didn’t spend any time cleaning. I mean putting on loads of washing and making the bed isn’t really cleaning is it? And it’s only real shopping if you use a trolley and not a basket. So as…
