First world problems in a Covid world
Thoughts, musings and all around silliness – usually from my own world.
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….
When you go to training you inevitably go around the room and people introduce themselves and say what they are passionate about. I’m passionate about a few things in life but I can honestly say that I’d love to be as passionate about something in my life as my daughter is about blowing things up…
Back working from home as a result of a lot of rain and a small spike in Covid cases locally. In reality, what this looks like: Me getting some shitty flu like symptoms, having a day time sleep for the first time in ages and rocking up for a 3rd Covid test in the space…
“Morning.” “How ya goin?” “Good thanks, you?” “Good thanks. Cold isn’t it?” “Yeah, bit fresh.” “…” “Was there a frost at your place this morning?” “Yep. You?” “Little bit.” “Yep, bit fresh.” “…” “…”
The problem with anxiety is that you can be merrily going along in your day humming some unrecognisable 80’s electro track in your head and then… BLAM! You remember the time you accidentally picked up the wrong can in the bathroom and sprayed shaving foam into your armpit instead of deodorant.

Having cats is a wonderful thing. They’re friendly, funny, soft, warm and entertaining and they look great in front of a roaring fire. But at the end of my innings when I see the play back of my life and how I spent my time, I wonder how many frames are going to be devoted…
I find Lego games on the Xbox One too hard. I was lucky enough to get my first gaming machine when I was around 4 years old. I had a ZX Spectrum 128k as well as access to a Rowtron console system. Since then I’ve gone through many systems including an Amiga 500, a couple…
Today was an opportunity to learn. Learning how to do cardless cash because I forgot my wallet when leaving home to go to the office today. So, it turns out that, spending record amounts of hours alone in a caravan can actually bring on early dementia. On the plus side my favourite coffee shop has…
