Lockdown 2: Lock Harder
So today we go into another lockdown and this time it’s put a spanner in the works of some things we had planned over the next month or so. First up, The Wife and I had both booked days off next week so that we...
Getting Away For A Few Days
With all our holiday plans being scuppered this year and with the bloody virus still hanging around, our chance to go abroad over half-term was dashed and so we decided at the very last minute to get away for a few days and escaped to...
Bored of Covid Now
It’s been seven months now and the whole unprecedented situation is really starting to drag! I’ve been working from home since the second week of March and while it does allow me to feel like I am getting more work done as there aren’t the...

Football Season Is Upon Us
With the football season nearly here it’s time to set up my fantasy football teams for the year. As usual, I’ll probably forget about it around six weeks into the season and then wonder why I’m doing really badly. I’ll be doing the Sun and...
