I mean, it was mostly not through choice. We needed to make sure we would make it through 2019 financially. Sure, an exotic cat was added to the family in 2019, but other than that, we were careful. Frugal. Thing is, I got lazy and complacent. One final hurrah, I …
When I first started writing a blog back in 2005 I had no idea I’d still be writing it now. I thought it’d be a short-lived thing. I wouldn’t stick to it. That would be the kind of thing I do. But here we are, thirteen years later. I’ve moved …
My old blog, Waves, which used to be at the old domain of randomfury.co.uk, is no more. All the posts have been folded into this blog. It was a lovely place, if a bit quiet. I feel like I’ve written this a lot recently, but it was always more for …
I’m moving all the posts over from my old blog, and I’m doing it manually so i can fine tune them a little, for example making sure all their tags are relevant and consistent, they all conform to the correct category, and I’m seeing if they could be organised to …

I think it is time for a fresh start. Time to draw a line under everything that has come before. You see, I have been pre-occupied with transferring everything from the old community website to this one before I can do anything else, but to be honest, I don’t think …
When you hit rock bottom, they say you can see exactly how far you need to climb to get back to where you were. Sounds easy enough, but it’s very foggy, and I’m not even sure if I’m going the right way. I hit rock bottom recently – I reached …
It’s how I kinda feel about not writing little updates every so often when Jake does something amazingly cute or has a major breakthrough (like standing up unaided for 12 seconds – so awesome). It would’ve been nice to have chronicled his growth, but would I have spent too much …
Oh my, has it really been that long since my last post? That really is very bad of me, especially considering I could’ve knocked up a few smaller update posts on my phone during a lunchbreak at work or something. I’ve been in some pretty dark places between then and …
