How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you?
Deep, non judgemental, 5ft 10” carrying a tad too much weight, likes beer, bad food and fixing stuff. Too nice, hates incompetence and liars. Dreams big, never achieves, gets taken for a ride, trusts the wrong people and is known to fart occasionally.
Of course no one on this site would quote the last fact as they’re only interested in quoting untruths of how they’d like to be described.
Be truthful, we’re all individuals with good and bad traits. Don’t be what you want to be. Be what you are. We all fart.
I first saw this WordPress prompt at just after midnight having been out to a colleagues wedding. I thought answering at that time would be a tad impromptu so I’ve held off until closer to midday.
Well, we’ve awoken to a hot day, kind of unheard of here in the East Midlands so that’s not typical but appreciated all the same. I have no hangover due to the various concoctions that were afforded to me last evening so again, not typical. I also have a day off work, and as it’s too hot to venture into the garden at the moment I’ve decided to catch up with some soldering I need to do to repair a Sega game gear that ceases to work. Again this isn’t a typical day.
So, in all and so far, the only typical thing is that the sun rose as it always does and I suspect it will set in a similar fashion. No day is really the same, there may be aspects that give it that appearance however it’s not really the same.
We all have input into how our days unfurl, I guess it’s down to the individual if they want to continually have a ground hog day.
Not me, today’s looking ok and totally different from yesterday. Just watch some little sod come and ruin it for me 😂
Well, it’s there for the world (or the one or two people who occasionally pop by) to see at the foot of every post I create on this site.
It’s a rework of my surname and I’ve been called it for donkeys years. Everyone at work, even my boss uses it. I guess my first name, Dave is quite popular and there are a lot of us about, so the use of the nickname is highly individual and singles you out in particular.
My LCFC shirt…one of many
I even have it on the football shirts I wear along with the number 65.
What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?
Strategy? What a load of old tosh. if you have a strategy for your health and well being than you need to give your head a wobble as you’re over thinking it.

Here’s what I do though:
I eat what I want
I drink plenty of water
I sleep when my body tells me to
I get drunk occasionally
I do what I want, when I want
I don’t suffer fools
Don’t do social media
Don’t follow MSM
Enjoy life
Not much of a list to follow but basically do what you want and don’t follow the advise of a fool such as me, or some other numpty on social media who claims to know the answers to life. ( A dimfluencer )
However I’m still here after almost six decades, so I must be doing something right.
If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite?
Strange one this, it would have to be a mix of those who are living and those who have passed.
It would be something like this:
My Wife – we always have plenty to talk about, relevant and irrelevant.
My brother John – passed away a few years back, but such a funny soul.
My Mum – again passed away but such a beautiful kind soul.
Karl Sagan – this guy cemented my interest in the universe with his Cosmos tv series and the book I still have to this day.
Professor Brian Cox – the modern version of Karl, and someone he could talk to, I’d love to eavesdrop this conversation.
Michael Stipe of REM – my favourite group, I have so many questions and what a lovely guy.
Michael Collins – Apollo 11, what was it like to be floating about out there when your colleagues were getting all the acclaim on the lunar surface?
My Brother in law Tel – always good company.
My sister in law Liz – absolutely lovely, and always ready to stir it up.
My sister Anne – a duplicate of my dear mum.
Bob Marley – my introduction to Reggae.
Bing Crosby – my dad’s favourite singer, and I was brought up listening to him, as I don’t want my dad there this would be close enough to him.
My Nan – Dads mum. A lovely tortured suffering soul that would do anything for anyone.
That’s about it. What a mixture of people. I’m sure I’d sit there for ages just holding the hands of my loved ones and just listening and savouring every little moment.
