Life is about doing amazing things, things that matter

by Dave

Bollocks to this! I’ve had enough of this funk that’s lasted well over a decade. Life isn’t about suffering through the daily grind. Life is about doing amazing things. Things that interest and excite me. Things that matter. It’s about making genuine connections with the people in my life and spreading the happiness. It’s also [...]

Early Morning Rain – Eva Cassidy

by Dave

If you have even the slightest shred of emotion within you, you can’t fail to be moved by this song from Eva Cassidy. The correct and accurate lyrics… Early Morning Rain In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand And an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand I’m [...]

Vincent

by Dave

I hated this song when I was a boy but now, but now that I’ve seen the twists and turns of life… I absolutely LOVE it.

Blue Moon – The Werewolf Cut

by Dave

This seems appropriate today, what with it being the 31st day of October and all. My eldest daughter (5) is transfixed watching the wolves sing and insists that I play it over an over again! To be honest I’m a bit bored with it after watching it 80 times, but if you haven’t seen it [...]

The purpose of a man is to love a woman

by Dave

Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders – Game Of Love (1965) I can never remember the title, instead I know it as, The purpose of a man is to love a woman, hence the title of the post. Crank up the volume! How’s that for a fine tune on a Saturday morning?! Eh? Eh? I first [...]

Do you know Turf Dad?

by Dave

Someone I thought had disappeared off the face of the blogosphere (oh how I dislike that word) appeared again out of thin air. Turf Dad is back! Well, by the looks of his archive pages it looks like he’s been back for a while, but anyway, if you don’t know him, go check out his [...]

Freight Train

by Dave

My youngest boy (7) loves to watch trains and as they go past we like to count the carriages. If we see one with 14 carriages it’s something to get excited about, seeing one with as many carriages as this would probably blow his mind: How many carriages did you count?

Say ‘Aaaaaah’ Adrenalynn

by Dave

A friend of mine posted a video and for no other reason than I think she’s brilliant I’m posting it here too. That is all.

Adele – Make You Feel My Love

by Dave

Just a beautiful song from a woman with an amazing voice. I believe this was written by Bob Dylan, but I have no idea who he wrote it for or even whether anyone recorded it before Adele. Anyway, I seriously doubt whether anyone could sing it better than this.

Clinically Dead

by Dave

Unlike Joe Hobot, I’ve never been clinically dead. As it happens, Joe has managed it twice! I’ve come close to the end a few times, most notably in a light aircraft that lost power after take off, and also when I was about a foot away from being pushed under a moving train by some [...]

What’s wrong with you?

by Dave

I mentioned on Twitter that I’d been to the doc because I’ve got a dodgy knee. If you kneed ( <— see what I did there?) to know what’s wrong with my knee… it started clicking and locking up. It’s quite funny if you’re not me. and if you are me, which I am, then [...]

Beautiful Women

by Dave

I was prompted to put together a list of beautiful women (other than my wife) after writing a post about to the top 10 sexiest men in the world according to Kirsty. The thing is, I don’t carry such a list around in my head so I thought I’d make a list as I go [...]
