Journal – November-December 2010

This is a difficult set of journal entries to share, with Dad going back into hospital, as things haven’t ended well in that regard. I could just stop sharing these posts and resume when things improve again, but as this is life-changing and will clearly have a huge impact on my future, it’s important to include and acknowledge it.

I do mention various other things in these entries as well, including DVDs, TV shows, music, Christmas food, news stories, etc. But most of it is about my father, with some of the details edited out of course. So if it’s the sort of thing you’d rather not read about, then by all means skip this, and come back at a later date when things improve again. But if you do read on, I hope you find it of interest.

Journal – September-October 2010

Welcome to another set of journal entries. There’s a fair amount to mention, including socialising, a baptism, building work, and an amusing email from a friend, although there is also less cheerful news with Dad going into hospital. So I hope you find plenty of interest in here as usual.

Journal – January-April 2010

There’s been a bit of a gap since my last set of journal entries, but that’s because this year’s got off to a very quiet start, so I’ve only written a couple of entries in this first quarter. There are still a few notable things to mention though, including work and family updates, meeting up with a friend, the Haiti earthquake, and David Tennant’s handover to Matt Smith in Doctor Who. Plus I’ve been emailed a couple of jokes from friends of mine, so I thought I’d include them for a bit of variety. I hope you enjoy!

Time for another batch of my journal entries. I went out and about to do some more socialising and shopping this month, and we had a few technical issues at work. Plus I’ve mentioned things like DVDs and news stories as usual. So I hope you enjoy!

Journal – April 2008

Welcome to another month of journal entries. Again this hasn’t been a particularly busy month, but there’s been a little bit of socialising, a surprise contact from an old friend, the new series of Doctor Who, and various other bits and pieces. So I hope you enjoy!

Journal – March 2008

Here’s another month of entries from my journal. I didn’t do an awful lot this month, although work has been keeping me busy. And I have mentioned some TV, DVDs and news stories as always. Plus there’s a Top 25 list, and I haven’t included a poll like that for a long time. So it’s a still a fair mixture of stuff. I hope you enjoy!

Journal – June-July 2007

Following the excitement of my Spanish holiday, it’s back to regular life again for this next set of journal entries. I’ve combined 2 months together here, as I didn’t write a huge amount for either of them. But in amongst it all I did go out for a little social with my colleagues, bought some more DVDs, enjoyed the latest Doctor Who series finale, and I’ve talked about various news stories that have caught my eye. So I hope you enjoy!
