It’s fair to say that this week and last have been ones where I feel I’ve really struggled to remain on course. I mean this

Exposed foundations

September 27, 2017 daveywankenobie

Last night I had a vivid nightmare.  In this lucid (partially waking) waterfall of subconscious fears I had rented my home to a close friend.

Alcester to Wixford with Tinker

September 26, 2017 daveywankenobie

Tinker wouldn’t stop wagging his tail or licking me. He similarly refused to stop climbing up to shoulder height and playfully nuzzling my face. As

Start as I mean to go on

September 25, 2017 daveywankenobie

One of my Slimming World consultant’s favourite phrases is ‘if you do what you always did then you get what you always got.’ It’s been

Damaged or incomplete 

September 24, 2017 daveywankenobie

Technology is wonderful. Until it isn’t.  When you put your trust in something and then it ceases to do what you expect of it then

EGX Non-Scale Victory!

September 23, 2017 daveywankenobie

Yesterday was something of a personal triumph for me. Nothing particularly amazing happened in the great scheme of things, but what did take place probably wouldn’t

Feature wall

September 21, 2017 daveywankenobie

Currently (despite my willingness to do so) the furniture and pillows remain uneaten in my house, and there are almost no rabid bite marks on

Mirror images

September 19, 2017 daveywankenobie

I’m feeling rather low today and I’ve had hardly any sleep. I’ve been walking around and drinking coffee for hours and hours and if I’m

Boiling the ocean

September 16, 2017 daveywankenobie

After I wrote yesterday’s blog I started thinking about my early posts. As I’ve said a few times before here, although I love that people

On the bank of the Rubicon

September 16, 2017 daveywankenobie

It’s 8am and I’m lying in bed at the moment. It’s cold in my room and the duvet is warm. I don’t really want to

Pumpkins

September 14, 2017 daveywankenobie

I’ve been twalking with a friend after work today  and I feel as if most of the conversation has been about me. I don’t like monopolising

Cold hands

September 11, 2017 daveywankenobie

Time seems to be accelerating at the moment. With the benefit of hindsight I guess it always passes at a frantic rate, but over the

Impostor

September 10, 2017 daveywankenobie

I slipped off the wagon a little last night, and over indulged a bit. Let’s just say that where there whereas there were previously four

New teen

September 9, 2017 daveywankenobie

I made an early start today. I’ve a lot to pack into two days now if I want to get everything done. This working for

Windy days

September 8, 2017 daveywankenobie

Earlier in the week I wrote a rather long post about plateaus.  A couple of people I know wondered why at this stage in the

Baldy

September 6, 2017 daveywankenobie

I’m a true believer that pretty much every cloud can (with the right attitude) be found to have a silver lining.  It’s all about perspective.

It’s not a plateau

September 5, 2017 daveywankenobie

I don’t like the ‘P’ word. Not one little bit. I refuse to think about it most of the time because I’m now convinced it’s

The Snipe

September 3, 2017 daveywankenobie

Whereas I used to be the undisputed Jedi Master of not doing much at all, these days (despite probably needing to rest a little more

Peeky

September 2, 2017 daveywankenobie

Well, for a Saturday this is a late posting. Normally I’d have done this ages ago – but today I’ve had to make a straight

Bubbles says it’s not cakey 

September 1, 2017 daveywankenobie

It’s early morning and I feel mostly back on track, although to be honest my stomach still feels decidedly strange and I have an odd

When your partner gets her kicks by making a copy of you in animal crossing and giggles uncontrollably as you shake maracas 🙄it’s spousal abuse... #animalcrossingnewhorizons
Life may be shyte at the moment but you can help smiling at this cosy pooch transportation method 😂
Happy new year! Let’s hope we all survive the zombie apocalypse long enough to see 2022! 😂
Love is not expressed by grand gestures, bottles of champagne or expensive trinkets. It’s to be found instead in something as simple as feeling insanely happy that you’re both wearing matching slippers on Christmas Day. To me this says more about how alike and in love you are than any diamonds or lumps of hammered gold could ever do. 2020 has been a s&&t year - but it’s proven without any doubt that the person I’ve chosen to be in my life (and spent every single day with) is absolutely the right one for me. Happy Christmas all 🎄🎅🏻
When your partner discovers the 1962 Peel P50 in Forza Horizon 4 😂
Seems like Tesco now do an ultra hd car wash! Try as I might I couldn’t see where on earth to plug in my Xbox - and they mentioned nothing about high dynamic range 🤔if I didn’t know better I’d say that this was a clever marketing ploy to sell soap to men...
Today was the day... where I downloaded absolutely shedloads of patches and all of my current gen games loaded really quick and looked rather smooth. Hopefully some real system testing games will come out soon and next gen will start in earnest! #xboxseriesx
I knew the Earth was flat!!! Video games proved it! #thetouryst
Wonder what this noisy little sod trapped in the lampshade is? Not seen one of these before... 🤔
The dark side of trick or treating.
When your fish tank needs just a little.... something more.
I had the rudest taxi driver today! Honestly shocking service. I left no tip.
