I’m beginning to not feel the need for a cigarette after having a pint.
I had my last cigarette close to 10 weeks ago. 3 weeks after that I had my next last cigarette.
Yes I enjoy smoking, and yes I would love one right now, yet I feel it is time to end that part of [...]

I spoke to Debbie Metrustry, known as @debbiemet on Twitter on many occasions, although I hadn’t met her, she was a wonderful person and it was a pleasure to know her. I’ve never felt this way about someone I’ve not met before.
One of the saddest pages on the internet right now is http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%40debbiemet, as the [...]

I’ve never been one to “reblog” something verbatim, though this post from Grannymar sums up how I feel right now, somehow.
Just because…
You are not in full time employment, doesn’t mean you don’t need to eat.
You are on a diet, doesn’t mean you cannot peruse the menu.
You are alone, doesn’t mean you are lonely
It is Sunday, [...]

It’s true, I cannot cook. For a lot of my time living alone I’ve survived on microwaveable ready-meals, pizzas and take-away food. When home I enjoy Chris’ occasionally experimental (”A wee bit of chilli powder… ach it’ll be grand”) cooking. However, a few months ago I drastically cut down on all the crap, with the [...]

That time of the year once again, time to make idle promises about quitting, doing better, trying harder, and achieving more. And why not have a time to take a think about how it’s going, and where I want my life to go – not just in next year. I have many goals, though often [...]

Another 31st December in the bag. And a blue moon and partial eclipse to go with it. The photograph isn’t great as I don’t have the ideal lens for such images, though I managed to capture it in some form so I’m happy enough.
For the last nine years we’ve had to endure the long and [...]

It was a great year.
I met so many great people, had many new experiences, learnt so much and had a few big changes.
My whole outlook was changed this year. I feel I’m a different person, mentally, than I was this time last year.
“We are who we meet”.
I believe this is true; through everyone we meet [...]

I dislike crowded bars and clubs at the best of times; where the music is loud and you may as well be out on your own anyway due to the time spent queuing for a drink. It can be near impossible to hold a conversation over the noise level of those I don’t know, and [...]

I remember saying I would ease up on the frequency of my tweets a month or so ago, and I had been for the last few months, without realising it. Though my usage has changed quite a bit recently. It’s hard to describe in what way, but just differently.
Good and bad. Its just different. [...]

My Granny loved cats and had one for as long as I remember. This was the first, and for a long time, the only feline I had contact with.
As much as I wanted one of my own – though moreso a puppy – the best I could hope for were hamsters and goldfish. However, [...]
