… all the time you’re looking at your phone 50 times per hour, doomscrolling, reading news, putting yourself in an anxious state…. have you ever thought that the innocuous device in your hand might be part of the problem? We aren’t conditioned to be so hyper connected, it’s an abnormal state (2/2)

Nov 2024-Nov 2025 has been a fascinating life journey that hasn’t been all too easy, but man have I learned things. If you’re the sort of person (like I was) who despairs and says “the world is so tense right now, why can’t it be like it was in the 90s?”…. (1/2)

Went for some blood tests this week. Thankfully all clear but my LinkedIn is now filled with searches from various NHS testing centres. Did they want to see if I was hot or something? 🤷🏻♂️🤔

Just had a “people who you may know” on Facebook… an ex from way back in 1999 (I’m shockingly old). And now he’s married to a woman with kids. Wonder he’s as selfish in the sheets with his Mrs now as he was then 👀

The guy I had a crush on when I was 14 now has a granddaughter and I’m here at 48 acting like a teenager (with greying hair and achey muscles) playing board and video games every night.

Off to Amsterdam for the weekend. You may expect debauchery, but it’s nothing like that…. more like some too notch food, board games and catching up with old friends.

Window cleaner just caught me drying myself after a shower. Little embarrassing. Today I’m clearly living the plot of a Carry On film…. well a pretty boring one which involves a trip to the vets and tidying the house later.

Restarted my instagram and unfollowed any influencers or “model” types who were basically all about flaunting it. It’s quite, quite dull now.

There’s a page called clearsky you can use to see if anyone has blocked you on BS. One person, and it’s clear from their comments they aren’t into anyone thinking Andor is the best Star Wars ever made. 😬

Weekend of board gaming away in Harrogate was going great up until having my first ever panic attack on Friday night….. that was a fucking experience. Was touch and go if I went to A&E as I had no idea what was going on. Anyway I’m not dead so that’s a plus.

Going to Airecon in Harrogate at the weekend. 4 days of board gaming, boozing and eating. I’ll be honest, I’m looking forward to this more than I do Christmas.

My standing desk is really helping with the backache and sciatica this week. Dog is still farting though, so not 100% pleasant.

I often have random low engagement tv programs on in the background while working at home… you know, to fill the void of an empty house… 😆
At 11 I decided to put on this week’s Gladiators. Beefcakes in Lycra was way too distracting. Had to turn that muck right off!! 😂😂

Paul made pancakes tonight for us. I’ve never seen someone such a dab-hand at these things. He’s been making them to the same perfect shape for the last 20 years. He’s a keeper 😅

I was really looking forward to Monster Hunter Wilds but the current implementation looks more blurry (on ps5) than the previous gen MHWorld on Xbox one x. I might give it a patch or two before I really start play.

Had been feeling incredibly anxious and down recently, what with the crazy state of the world. But had a really chilled weekend where I realised I was just making things worse for myself, bit of a quiet word with myself…been really quite relaxed since then.
Probably tells me I just need a holiday.
