  Today is Mental Health Awareness Day.  To honour this, our esteemed Prime Minister announced the creation of the position of suicide prevention minister.  So, as is par for the course when May announces something like this, it quickly emerged that the new minister had joked about throwing herself...

  So, this is something new I want to do here.  The plan is to review every new episode of Doctor Who.  Naturally, there'll be spoilers. . . . . . . . . . . Synopsis: A mysterious thing appears in a forrest and another mysterious thing crashes into a train.  Coincidence, or are the…

  This weekend is the Middlesbrough Art Weekender.  It's not been going long, in fact this was the second time it's been run. There was one thing I was interested, something called SONIC Crossing at the Transporter Bridge.  On the way there, I ran into another thing I was interested in doing, but d...

• Second verse, same as the first

  October 4, 2018

  (This pic is indicative of nowt but my sense of humour.) Now, you may have noticed that my last entry was entirely bereft of mentions of my new piercing.  That would be because the piercing fell out. When I went back to point out that this happened and maybe they could help me out, I…

• ISO 3103

  October 3, 2018

  Seriously, look up ISO3013.  You can thank me later. As you can see, I did dye my hair. I've been getting a fair bit of writing done.  I'm writing at least once a day.  It's going well. As I write, I actually listen to podcasts.  I've got a lot of them that I always planned…

  Pic is a close up of my ear.  Yup, that be the new piercing.  When I get the bar changed, I'm going to get a closed hoop put in place instead.  It'll be more noticeable and what's the point of having a piercing like that if people can't see it? The title was the motto…

• Saucy!

  September 25, 2018

  So, something I did while I was away from ODland was make my own pasta sauce.  I tend to make pasta and sauce when I'm really short on cash, simply because it's cheap.  I decided to try making my own pasta sauce because a) I have a slow cooker and should be able to make…

• Holey, holey, holey

  September 21, 2018

  (The caption on that picture is "Larva Lamp") So I've been thinking about getting a new piercing for a while.  I wasn't particularly fussed what kind of piercing, except it wouldn't be a nipple or a Prince Albert. I was wandering round town yesterday, getting stuff I needed, buying stuff that I p...
