Ah, spring has sprung in Sunny Oldham 🙂

Tandhill road, were I live, is alive with blossom.

The garden  has bloomed to this in a matter of weeks.

And Rachel who is in bloom as well has gone from this

to this

in a matter of weeks

I have been guilty of over complicating my life. As a Taoist I shouldn’t be doing this. Stress over work, stress over pregnancy, stress over gaming stuff. You name it I’ve found a way to perceive complexity and make life stressfull.

As a result I’ve not been sleeping very well. Last night I was kept up with a dodgy stomach. Had I eatten something off? No, it was just the stress store had finally reached my guts, a tender area that shouldn’t be used for such purposes.

After a whinge to Rach, before see went to church (for those of you unfamiliar with Rach she is a practicin Christian), which fell on deaf ears I’ve got on with my chores.

The main one of which was mowing the back lawn, with our trusty 470hp petrol mower ‘Metallica’. After some whinging about needing an oil change Metallica got down to the job and chewed up the lawn in fine style. Although the garden is looking kinda wild at the moment, which I kinda like :), I know if I do a little bit now and then I’ll get it under control and next year add new features (a herb & veg plot is top of my list).

Anyways this is where you find me at the moment. Sitting on the Garden bench, with the wireless laptop, enjoying the simple pleasures of my sunny garden.

This afternoon the chaps come round for Roleplaying, and since we’re down a player this week we’re going to do some playtesting of Monkey 🙂

I have wolfman sidies.

Didn’t intend to, just left them to do their own thang in a regrowing sort of way.

I eat blue smelly cheez in sandwiches during worktime!

(colleagues suspect nothing…)

I have to share this crap with you.

No matter how low you think you have sunk in your imagined hierarchy of worth.

or How cruddy you feel

My work desk is the home of plastic spoons!

  I’M GOING TO SEE CLUTCH TONIGHT YOU BIG HAIRY APES!!!!

I’m still alive

Impending Fatherhood is like looking into the sun, in that it blots everything else out.

My cup runeth over, I wish I had more hours in the day to do all the stuff I wanted to.

I am very much looking forward the four day weekend break.
