Unfortunately I have been offline for a while, stalking the pages but unable to write myself. 4 weeks ago I ended up in hospital with severe pain and after some tests discovered that there is a kidney stone. Long story short, first operation is done and the stent in place (along with the wire) and… Continue reading Catch-up

Honesty
What does it cost us to be honest? More to the point, what does it cost you? It is easy to say "I am honest" but when you told truth about something, what did you hold back so that you wouldn't hurt them more than necessary? Or just not add that extra fact because they… Continue reading Honesty

Stole this idea from here ... Instead of doing a comment, I thought I would just run with the blog. The original is a missive from Jessica at “Branches” entitled “Five Things You Should Read/Watch/Listen To If You Want to Understand Me”. (Limit yourself to five books, movies, or songs that define and/or formed you). This edition… Continue reading 5 songs
FML
Seriously, just FML. It has been an intense time since end August. September disappeared with the last exhale of breath - I have no fucking idea what I managed to achieve. Oh yeah, that's right - it was around work and building my career and developing more skills in HR and building my role. Except… Continue reading FML
I really should not be left alone
I am a bad traveller. I will qualify that. I am okay with long flights (having just done a 24 hour stint one-way, to be repeated in the next couple of days) and I am okay with new sights, smells and tastes. Actually I thrive on travel. It is amazing and I learn so much… Continue reading I really should not be left alone
Just when
Just when I think I have all the bases covered, it all goes to hell. Well not literally but close enough to stress me out. I am currently travelling and in true style, worked on the day I arrived. Which means I am up at sparrow's because enough sleep yells my body. I have a… Continue reading Just when
Intense
I have not managed to get fingers to keyboard over the last week and half and my head is ready to explode! I enjoy this process and without it, I do battle. I haven't been around as I have been doing some self-development*, first aid training and learning about workplace mental health, oh and throw… Continue reading Intense
Preparation, realisation and acceptance
The last few months have been a blur of work. Not so much activity in respect of doing a bunch of things, but just work. It feels like I am breathing, eating and sleeping work. Then I went and lined up 5 days of training over 6. There is a lot of preparation to do… Continue reading Preparation, realisation and acceptance
Understand me… but you will probably be more confused!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
I was called "attractive", "sexy" and "hot" last night. Took me completely by surprise and the little cynical voice inside me went "he's just after one thing, it's not genuine". I wonder how many of us have that self same conversation when we are complimented? I have had a few backhand compliments of late as… Continue reading Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
