About us, or about me as it’s just me here!
I used to write a blog regularly but got out of the habit. I’ve been meaning to start again for a while but haven’t got into the swing of it. For better or worse, I find it cathartic to have an open diary. As someone who suffers from depression it’s a form of therapy to get things down in writing and get other peoples takes on thing.
I will write about my life – what I have been up to, or not up to. My opinions on current affairs and politics and my weight management journey. I’m a runner, weight lifter and cyclist with varying consistency depending on the time I have available, injury and mental health status!
I currently work a four on four off shift.
Why dead magpie?
I was on my way to a job interview and discovered a dead magpie on my patio. It looked healthy, no obvious signs of injury, aside for it clearly being dead. I wasn’t sure if this was a good omen, a bad omen, or no omen at all.
I got that particular job, only to be made redundant 6 months later. 3 months after my dad passed away from prostate cancer.
