The Loser Pirate

I think the ocean is beautiful because it is so similar to me. I like to compare the waves to my own breath. In, out, in, out. As the waves hit the shore, my breath hits the air. We humans have a lot in common with the ocean. However, we still have to be careful […]

The Bedside Table

Christmas holidays means more time to work on my hobbies! I’ve always wanted to start woodworking but I’ve never really had the money or time to add that to my hobbies list. However, now that I have a full time job, that’s no longer a concern of mine. I have lots of extra income, and […]

Stubborn Blocked Drain

‘Come on, you’ve been trying for hours,’ Adam groaned from the bathroom door. ‘Let’s just get some sleep.’ ‘I know what get some sleep is code for,’ Lily poked her head out from under the sink to frown at him. ‘Yes,’ Adam nodded enthusiastically. ‘It’s code for call a plumber already!’ ‘I don’t need to,’ […]

Glasses for Lucy

I bounced Lucy on my knee as I scrolled through my social media, occasionally squeezing her so she knew I wasn’t totally disinterested in her. ‘Good morning!’ my husband walked in with a smile, kissing Lucy on the top of her head. He walked over to the fridge and pulled the doors open. ‘How are […]

Time For Holidays

We’ll be at the docks in fifteen minutes. That’s fifteen minutes until we’re officially on our holiday, far far away from anything that may worry us. What a luxury. I’m glad my wife is driving because I don’t have enough patience to deal with the drive right now. I’d probably be going sixty in a […]

Unfortunate Aircon Situation

I was listening to the radio and eating a trio of dips this afternoon while driving my car. I know that it’s not good to eat and drive and I have definitely learnt my lesson. Not only am I currently covered in a trio of dips as a result of eating and driving, I have […]

Secret Glass Mission

When my employee, who I had sent on a secret mission about a year before, finally messaged me, I was in shock. I couldn’t believe that they had achieved the mission. I sent them on it thinking it would be impossible and that they would never return. There are a lot of legalities surrounding firing […]

New Viral Video

I found a production company to turn my cat videos into a masterpiece. It was a long and difficult search but it was worth it, because I really want my cat to go viral and it only will if I put the best resources into it. The company I decided to work with is a […]

Hiring a Designer

Designing a bathroom is so difficult. I’ve been trying it for about four months now and it’s still not good enough to actually start the building and renovations phase. I thought I could do it myself, but apparently, I thought wrong. I guess when I decided to renovate I was mostly thinking about the colour […]
