I had a number of great teachers when I was at school and what I really needed was a firm hand to bring me back to the table in dealing with me. I was (hahaha past tense but still the case) an arrogant toss pot who thought he knew it all. I needed to be…

I’ve not found the time or energy to write anything recently, which is crazy really a this I whilst I enjoy this it is also an outlet and a pleasant distraction from the perceived woes in my life.

It’s Sunday night, the work thoughts are already creeping in and I am thinking where on earth has the weekend gone? Doechii’s Anxiety on repeat in my silly little head. It’s always been the same since school and I don’t think it will ever change. I try and use this nervous energy more often than…

Free bricks obtained to do some edging. I’ve ordered a ton of sub base (not sub soil) to be delivered tomorrow along with 2 bags of cement and 5 bags of sharp sand. Still no slabs but they go on last so no worries. I’ve even put some wonky guide lines in: It’s happening!!!
