Thought I’d better update this again, finally. 

So things have been one hell of a rollercoaster over the past 2 months or so. I’ve truly met the woman of my dreams. How do I know? I mean haven’t I raved about previous women before? Yes but that’s because I chose to be deliberately blind to the things I didn’t like. And they were always the same subject. 

So this time I made sure these issues would mot actually be issues with her. I spent a long time going over things that had gone wrong in previous relationships and it was quickly established that she has a refreshingly different approach to these matters, in that they would not be a problem. 

She just gets me. And that’s all I’ve ever asked. 

Christmas was an absolute shit-show. A let-down of epic proportions. Thank God for my kids and how good they are. I’m still feeling the ramifications of what occurred but they are much more manageable now. I just need to focus on thanking the universe, thanking God, thanking all the good people around me.

Remonstrate

 So it finally happened. After 11 years employment with a great firm I’m moving on to pastures new. Well if it’s so great why are you leaving??  Yeah yeah I get it. I’m not leaving the parent company, I’m moving from one of its subsidiary companies in to another. Payroll, HR etc is all dealt with by the same people in the same area etc but the new organisation does a completely different role, serving different people in a different way. For example there’s an organisation which (I think) owns Argos, Sainsbury’s, B&Q etc and the set-up here is similar. Anyway it will be emotional. These guys were supportive when I went through my lowest times, when my dark clouds would not move etc and I have always felt a strong sense of loyalty to them so once I begin with the new company I won’t be negging on them at all. Admittedly this is very daunting. But everyone I know who made the same move I’m doing have said I have great things to look forward to. So here goes!

If you know me (chances are you don’t) then you’ll be aware of my obsession for gadgets. I’m not too concerned with having the very latest up-to-date boys’ toys (mainly due to the inflated prices) so I’m cool with waiting 2 years or so for something. For example in 2020 I bought a pair of Apple AirPods, the 1st generation wit no wireless charging etc and I’ve been fine using them for over 2 years. I’m not an audio-quality obsessive (even though I have worked in radio in the past), as long as they work well and give good audio quality - I do listen to a lot of podcasts, and music sounds good at the gym whilst I workout then it’s good to me.  I was never tempted to upgrade to the AirPods Pro at any time mainly due to the cost. I’d heard the sound quality was better but not to the point where an extra £50 was justifiable.  So what did I do? Went and bought a set of AirPod Pros. Only the 1st generation though as again wireless charging doesn’t massively appeal to me but the sound ...

Romulus

 Only a few people know this but there’s only one chick flick I’ll willingly watch and even then it has to be watched during one particular week of the year. I refuse to watch it any other time.  Love, Actually.  And it has to be watched towards the end of the third week of November. Why? Because there’s when it begins in the film. 5 weeks before Christmas. I always wanted to find a woman who would happily watch it with me as it does get me a bit emotional especially the final scenes of everyone’s stories coming together at the airport.  One exe of mine watched it one year with me but refused to watch it the following year because “Why? We’ve already seen it once”). That was the moment I knew we’d have no future. Even if it means nothing to her, it meant to something to ME. And I’d have done it in return in a similar scenario for her.  Anyway. Each time I watch it I hate Alan Rickman’s character and you know why.  But this year (funnily enough the 20th anni...
