We remember so we never forget
To remember events is important to keep the memories of those events alive, or more precisely, so we never forget. I have been privy to a few events, some major to me and my family but also more mainstream historical events too. Princess Diana. In bed sleeping at the farm, I was like 14 or…

Drugs. Risk. Drugs. Dammit. QOTD
Risk is drugs for me. I haven’t hidden or spared any details on my blog about my battles with addiction or the general fact that I take 27 tablets a day. What would I love to do? Come off every single one and see how things are. The vast majority of the meds I take…

Proud QOTD
Proud moments are in abundance with an awesome family such as mine. But then, I’m a little biased about the whole thing. I know many will see it as an easy answer, but I genuinely feel pride when think of the three most annoying, most fabulous kids. From one who reinvents cooking with random TikTok…

Elvis all the way
Elvis kept me company from 6 pm until now. I was messing about with Spotify and trying to distract myself (which has worked, to be fair), so I fancied something different tonight, so I have had Elvis on for six hours. We laughed, we sang, and no, I’m not sat with him, but in spirit.…

I only came here for the drugs QOTD
Don’t know, well, it’s something I’m more ashamed of than anything else. Long ago in my past, I went through a tough spot. I was being seen by doctors who were quickly trying to help me. This was in 2011-2012, which doesn’t feel like that long ago. I was in crisis, and they prescribed antipsychotics…

Blood Brother
Blood is thicker than water. I used to believe that. I was a naive 16-year-old saying that. Of course, it doesn’t apply in real life. I grew up and realized that you can have ‘a brother from another mother’. Especially true of O. He’s my best friend, someone I consider more of a brother than…

A good neighbor? A Si… QOTD
A good neighbor would be a silent one who, when late at night, sees you digging a 6-foot-deep hole, silently joins you with a spade, and you dig together. That’s neighborly love. Maybe in my warped mind. A good neighbor knows when to come round, take a hint, defrost each other’s cars in the morning,…

Sea Food QOTD – Dangerous Question to ask online
Sea food. For whatever reason in my life, I have shied away from sea food. I’ve never tasted a prawn, but I like prawn cocktail crisps. I’ve never eaten lobster, nor cockles or anything like that. I have eaten cod, for obvious reasons as I’m sure fish & chips are up there in the scoreboard…

Documentaries & Capital Punishment
Documentaries & capital punishment. Lately, I’ve been watching documentaries on the BBC iPlayer site, mostly featuring Louis Theroux. He briefly mentioned documentaries that had an impact on him and listed several. I’ve been working my way through them. One of them follows a man during his last 14 days on death row and continues up…

Daily writing prompt
A blog post, simply because I have no idea where to start or what to type about. I quit blogging after my last post. I cancelled the payments, which then pulled my domain, and yeah. It wasn’t until I spoke to D about it that I realized that I enjoy blogging and that it is…
