First world problems in a Covid world
Why do clothes shops always put the clothes for short people on the top peg? Why can’t I write as eloquently here as I can in other places? Why are there so many people interested in marketing a blog with an obscure name, questionable contact and no visitors? (Ie. This one) When will I do…
If at first you write the opening paragraph to a blog post and then delete it and then write it again and then delete it and then write it again and then delete it then you should probably realise that 8:53pm on a Sunday night after a sleepless night watching useless football teams lose against…
When I log into this blog to write a new post, I look to the right to pick a category that best fits what I’m about to blog about. With that being said I never know what I’ll write about when I open up a blog post. And secondly, and perhaps more importantly, I’ve noticed…
For what feels like the 47th time this month I have a cold. It’s one of those colds that I tend to get during winter or when the weather changes. It’s been the same pattern since I was a child. However in Covid times it feels like I should pop off and have a test…
Back working from home due to a cold, back in the caravan of misery, back into blogging when I should be working. Back trying to self motivate, back trying to convince myself that I can do this work. Just back. And speaking of Back – when working from home I usually listen to music or…

I love starting with a blank page when I write a blog post. A blank page is limitless. Literally anything can happen. Despite the fact that I’ve already downloaded a header image, I could go rogue and write anything here. I once advocated for recovery plans at work to be blank pages – clinicians didn’t…
I once tried to get pigeonholed by a psychiatrist as someone with a diagnosis of bipolar. It didn’t fit comfortably and I could tell what he was trying to do. I flat out refused to accept that diagnosis. That was 10 years ago. I still believe I’m right and he was wrong. Mainly because diagnosis…
It’s a good job this blog is anonymous because I’ve suddenly developed a bit of a thing about Minecraft. Initially this started because mini-Detrecto and I started messing around in creative mode. Just putting blocks on top of one another and then building pens for various animals. Fun stuff. But then a bad thing happened….
Someone reminded me today to look for the happy in life and having recently reviewed all of my posts I realise I can seem quite negative. Maybe I’m more likely to blog when feeling dispirited but most of the time I’m upbeat and reasonably chipper. And that brings me onto The Happy Broadcast. Give them…
