The weekend is almost upon us as I commence this arbitrary narrative. For those in desperate need of the two day sabbatical, the waiting is almost at a conclusion. Like an errant child in fear of a scolding after exchanging their dad’s Faberge Egg for a handful of magic beans, the light at the end of the tunnel is sheepishly approaching. Fear not, it’ll soon…

The Cropping of Maggie’s Locks
It’s Thursday 17th August at 12:20 pm, as I look out at the back garden the sun’s glare makes a welcome tarriance after the deluge of overnight precipitation. Such powerful rainfall my garden borders appear to have been jet blasted as I’d slept. Consequently, the thinner stemmed flora and fauna looked very sorry for themselves, staring groundward as though bowing subserviently in the presence of royalty….
The Entitled Species
Self-entitled society; inconvenience them not Their rights akin to ones they’d deny others Selfish; nauseating trait of the misguided Shellfish; nauseating comestible if mis-cooked. Selfie society, crave contemporary pictorial autograph Assassins smile for camera with their endangered trophy A memory snapshot for grandkids to admire hence Grandpa’s wildlife slaughter his unspeakable legacy to progenitors….
Summertime
This morning, whilst seeking inspiration for a blog topic, I commenced a surveillance of my back garden through the bay window.

During this period of contemplation, my wife Karen and I discussed how we…

Acquiesce to the ‘lovely people’ Cow tow to the supposedly ‘erudite’ Mantra of insecurity; foolhardy bastion of subservience Consequence, imbecilic compliance to those unworthy. “Blessed are the peacemakers.” Almighty’s adoption promised as thy…
Want That One!
This afternoon I had my first experience of transporting someone around a shopping centre in a wheelchair. This the consequence of my dad deciding he felt well enough to accompany my mum and I on a weekly comestible shop at Sainsburys, in the White Rose Shopping Centre. A supermarket shop my parents is generally a comical affair, where my dad’s OCD goes…
Legacy of the Loathsome
Despairing soul unhidden by eyes azure Anchor of one score years and ten exacerbates Ungrateful product of family fatuous Dowry from dimwits, legacy of the loathsome. Yeti drained of emotion, spiritually spent Will recompense for anni horribilis ever manifest? Half existence sacrifice an act of unreconciled folly? Avenues of joy anchor obstructed, duration decades Townsend penned…
Tick in the Box
Throwback Monday – An updated version of a tongue in cheek narrative I wrote two years ago on the topic of project management:- One hundred and twenty four years today France became the first country to make it mandatory for all cars and carriages to have a registration plate. The introduction of this innovative epiphany was to support the surete (French…
Prose In Repose
Wintertide At The Fox Parkland situ alehouse Stout of porter and constitution Thou comforting embers aglow Warming soul and spirit from unwanted chill. Wintertide sanctuary from Theoi Meteoroi Sustain thy children until time of bell Till adieus fall silent from thy ears And the Peroni pipes flow abates The Road to Recovery 2014, bereft…
