Maybe it’s time to write down a few thoughts, the nights are getting colder, the air is crisper, the summer sun seems a distant memory. As the leaves change colour and the seasons change so does the business cycle of this small business. The summer season has been and gone and the time to regroupContinue reading “The season of “going to work””

Sometimes it’s just a hard week
Originally I typed this blog after a hard week, one where I was ready to just give up. The truth is it was just a way to get a few things of my chest and rant. Like the process of writing an angry letter and never posting it (make sure you don’t post them!). ItContinue reading “Sometimes it’s just a hard week”
PIVOT !!!
As the sun is high, flowers start blooming, the temperature rises and zombie Jesus leaves us chocolate eggs, the seasons are changing.

Another week goes by and suddenly 2020 seems to have gone by in a flash. Soon it will be over and a newContinue reading “Finding the time”
“Be water, my friend”
A rare feeling of normality in this most crazy of times is upon me, its purely due to the world being upside down and the lack of a feeling of control for the last few weeks. Bruce Lee once spoke of “be like water, it can even break down mountains” (paraphrased) . The key isContinue reading ““Be water, my friend””
And breathe ….
As the sun lowers in the sky and the rose coloured warmth of sunset touches the light blue sea, my exhale becomes longer, my body begins to unwind and life it seems, is very good. The beach is within feet of the house, the sound of waves breaking fills the air, as I gaze outContinue reading “And breathe ….”
A Quieter Week!
As another week draws to an end, its time to sit down and reflect. The week for all purposes has been quieter, but that brings its own stresses, anxieties but if you change your outlook there are some positives to be had. This blog has always been about honest views and opinion, this is aContinue reading “A Quieter Week!”
WHAT I’VE LEARNT ABOUT PEOPLE FROM SUPERMARKETS
Strap in dear reader because this one may turn into a rant. I will start out by saying “don’t worry, I am a still a positive upbeat bald arsehole but today is going to be about getting a few things of my chest. Today has been a great day though, delivery Sunday dinners went outContinue reading “WHAT I’VE LEARNT ABOUT PEOPLE FROM SUPERMARKETS”
