Well, I haven’t been to London to see the Queen. I could do I suppose except she’s on holiday in Scotland, so I’d be wasting my time. I’ve been at Mister Good Guy working on The Mona Lisa Million Project. I feel an acute time pressure to make it work, so I’m pulling out all [...]

Getting straight to the point here. There’s a guy called Tim Gary who came to me highly recommended and now I’d like to pass that recommendadion on to you. Tim has built a reputation for being an all round good egg, and from my dealings with him I can tell you it’s well deserved. I’m [...]

What a week this week has been!! So amazingly busy on the Stay-at-home dad front. Yesterday was the day of five school runs. FIVE. I took them all on the four mile trip to school first thing around 8.30, deposited my boys in school and my girls in playgroup. At 11 I returned to collect [...]

Happy Sunday!! Always thought this was a fantastic song. Billy Joel provides today’s Sunday Love song. I don’t even need to find the lyrics for this one… they come up on the screen. How’s that for service? After you’ve listened to the Sunday Love Song, why not pop over and see the Sunday Thought For [...]

Not everyone gets the humour of Tommy Cooper and I was certainly too young to appreciate him when he was performing, but as soon as I had developed my well honed sense of the ridiculous, I came to appreciate him for the genius he was. Hope your Friday turns out to be fantastically funny! My [...]

Not withstanding that the definition of success changes depending upon who you ask… and for the purpose of this post accepting that the success I’m referring to relates to status and wealth…. Why does it seem to me that so many successful people have a “jerk gene”? The thought came to me this morning as [...]

I caught this piece today about Mount Snowdon, the highest peak in England & Wales, getting a tarmac path. I had to laugh. But I think it will make plenty of people cry. Read the full story here. I understand why they did it. They want to make the mountain more accessible but somehow it [...]

So, short and sweet is the way I want to try and work this blog for a while. Check it out to see what the hell I’m blathering on about. A weight loss update: Since getting heavily into the Mona Lisa I haven’t been able to concentrate on my weight loss as much. I still [...]

Just for hoots I want to try something out here. Random postings. Mostly short and sweet. Occasionally long assed. But more frequent. Let’s see how this works out. Dave. Pic

I’m feeling smug because I had to buy a new pair of jeans last week. I had to because my old jeans were starting to look like clown pants as the excess material around the waist was gathered up by the belt. Dropping a jeans size is a big deal for me. I’ve been wearing [...]

I remember being about 6 or 7 years old and my mother dragging my younger sister and I off to the supermarket on a Saturday morning. Back in the 70s we travelled on the bus because having even one car was a luxury, having two cars was practically unheard of. For me it was fun [...]

In months gone by I might have been tempted to think that the week just gone had been the week from hell. I lost my way with my diet, with waking early, with my online presence and a few of my other goals. My week was hijacked with the school sports days, cooking food for [...]

Not digging the daily weight loss updates? No worries, I think I’ll look at another way of doing it for a while. Maybe a weekly update or a twice weekly update. That might suit me better anyway, because I could use the time I spend doing that everyday to doing the thing that might keep [...]

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! The alarm has been going off at 4am everyday this week as I try like crazy to make a difference to my life by seizing the day by the scruff of the neck. I’ve had some good results this week getting up early, although not once did I make it out of [...]

Ready for another day of eating just one meal? Oh, hell yeah! I’m within sight of my reaching my goal to lose 30 lbs of fat and I’ve decided to blog about it here. This is the third day of the latest phase of fat loss using the ‘one meal a day’ method, which if [...]

Two years I made the move from being a career man to a full time parent, and was the best decision I ever made. Previously I mentioned that there were certain freedoms I enjoy as a stay at home dad but these days I’ve come to take those freedoms for granted. Yesterday after I’d been [...]
