Education, Education, Education

Isn't it just strange to think, back in my day (I'm in my 40's), people would say "Get A Job!" and to "Stop Being a Student" when you figure that I have been in education since I was 5 ! I'm a head teacher these days, but always worked in education!... See More »

Nice to come home, after a hard day at the office - Ok, School then! - and there's the wife pouring you out a lovely glass of Chards. Thanks, pet! 🥰

Eric Johnson Cover - 'Song For Life' By Hope.

So, we did a thing again today, me and Hope. Again, we got some recording software and we decided to record an instrumental that Hope has practiced. This time, on her Electro Acoustic Ovation guitar that we got her for her birthday. She's 10,... See More »

Steve Vai Cover 'Die To Live' by Hope

So, we did a thing again today, me and Hope. Again, we got some recording software and we decided to record an instrumental that Hope has practiced. It's one of the first songs that she wanted to learn. She's 10, incidentally. Ladies and... See More »

Oh, It's Far From The Rock 'N Roll Life

..that I thought that I might be living! Saturday evening was spent - after seeing the wife off for work - being the, ahem, glorified 'roadie' for our daughter as she was doing a 90 minute guitar lesson for this guy. I'm also, of course, the... See More »

Busy Xmas/New Year Time

It's been a year! Feels like it already! Xmas at home in Surrey, Boxing Day and the next few days in Derbyshire, with Samantha's family. New Year's Eve and up until this morning in Newcastle, with my family. ..and, oh what fun having to go to the... See More »

My wife and our daughter are watching 'Die Hard' as their Xmas Film...on the home cinema... I wanted 'The Holiday'... 😩

Mixtape/Playlist Of 80's Music...

If you could put a mixtape (or CD) or playlist of great 80's music...what would you put on? Mine would have Madonna, Debbie Gibson, Yazoo, The Human League, Depeche Mode, Blondie, ABBA and, maybe...just maybe....a spot of Kylie.... What would be on... See More »

Steve Vai Cover 'Juice' by Hope

So, we did a thing today, me and Hope. We borrowed some recording software and we decided to record the first song that Hope has practiced and practiced for the 2 1/2 years she has been playing guitar. It's the first song that she wanted to learn,... See More »

Madonna At The O2 - 14th Oct 2023

Madonna at the O2 Arena, London 14 October 2023.. It's opening night on the world tour. Lots of traffic around London today, due to the whole Palestine March in the capitol, let alone Madonna's coming back to the UK. So, we get there, with some... See More »

Having Friends Over Tonight.

The wife's off working, so it's just me and our daughter.. Messaged a few of my work friends and they're coming over - shortly - for a lovely meal. We're having a curry and, granted, Samantha is better at making the curries than I am but I'm not too... See More »

Just A Little Blip In The Road.

Firstly....Happy Thanksgiving to all you over the other side of the pond. Secondly....Happy Christmas! Thirdly....Happy New Year! Oh dear ?!? Has it really been that long? I guess it has. Life's been a little tough for me...and for my loved ones.... See More »

Our Queen Elizabeth II

Myself and @SammyJo were so sad to hear about the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday evening. We'd heard the news reports just before lunch and then, when we could, followed the BBC until we got home. She'd been a part of all our lives,... See More »

Few More Days Of Freedom

For us teachers, anyways. Not that you'd realise, of course. Term starts on this coming Thursday, for the children, but we'll be around a couple of days before to get everything up and running before hand. That also means that it's the end of fun... See More »

Eagerly Awaited...

It was our daughter Hope's 8th Birthday on Monday and, as someone who's been playing the guitar for around a whole year now, she wanted some bits and bobs - expensive bits and bobs! - changed/added to the electric guitar that she has. We took it in... See More »

Half-Term & Time With The Family.

Been lovely to finish the academic term and then, as the wife has termed us, whisked up the 'Surrey Mafia' back to my hometown, Newcastle, to spend the week with my mum and dad. Time to relax. Time to de-stress. Time to spend time with those nearest... See More »

Fantastic British Comedy

It's hard to express the impact of 'Monty Python' on people these days - lots of humour have had that zany flavour in recent years - but, back then, in the late 60's/early 70's I'm sure it was pretty ground-breaking. I say that because I was... See More »

Far From Being A Cycling Nut

But I do enjoy it. I'm what you would call a fairly lazy person. Typical 20th C/21st C woman that pretty much drives everywhere, much to my partner's annoyance. I'm really not one for exercise either; thankfully blessed with the Durose genetic... See More »

'Continuum' Canadian Sci Fi Series.

Not really a Sci Fi nut, unlike my wife, but we thoroughly enjoyed the 'Continuum' Series (2012-2015). Entertaining from the get go - terrorists from the future send themselves back to the past to make fully sure their plans are completed, only to... See More »

I'm Mostly An 80's Child...

...musically, having grown up under the watchful banner of ABBA and Blondie...and then....The Human League came along. I wore out my vinyl copy of 'Dare' and believe I even brought it on tape before finally getting a CD when that was released. Back... See More »

Not An Addict Myself..

...but it can be a bit tough loving someone that is a big drug user. Was is more the operative word. I'd known her since my early 20's and, thankfully, giving up cocaine when I hit 40 or thereabout. That's a long time as a user in my company.... See More »

Always The Teacher, I Guess.

It was our daughter's 7th birthday back in early June last year and, from the year before she'd always talk about wanting a guitar, so we got her her first electric guitar and amp for a combination birthday and xmas present. So, in January we... See More »

I was never a vegetarian, growing up, but when I first met the lady that is now my lovely wife I was introduced to it. It's funny, I always thought of it as just a diet...a fad...but no, it's so much more than that. It's a way of living. She... See More »
