I am happy

By Iain 20 June 2011ReflectionsNo Comments

I am. Mum sent me a text message after we went to see her last weekend and in it she said I seemed very happy. I am very happy at the moment, very content with my life and the direction it is taking. My relationship with Jane is the best it has ever been, we're getting on great. My work…

Happy Birthday to me

By Iain 8 December 2010Books, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

I am now 32 years old, and I'm sure I say this every year, but I don't feel a day older than 25. My loved ones got me some smashing gifts. Jane got me Fable III, which, due to me working, she has played more than I have. Mum got me the new Rangers shirt, it's so nice, and a…

Golden brown, texture like sun

By Iain 7 November 2010Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

So Claire was going out so she asked me to watch her shortbread and take it out of the oven when it was golden brown. I kept an eye on it while playing Lips with Lewis, took it out when it was nice and golden, but later found out I had killed it because it was in there for too…

We went to the Zoo today

By Iain 10 October 2010ReflectionsNo Comments

Seeing as it was a nice day, Myrtle brow-beat Claire into taking the kids to the zoo with Matt. Then Claire brow-beat Jane and I to come along too. I love a good traipse around Marwell Wildlife, but Claire and Matt seemed more interested in getting around as quickly as possible, sneaking looks at their mobile phones when they thought…

If I won the Lottery…

By Iain 3 October 2010Site RelatedNo Comments

I was thinking the other night, and came up with all these ideas. I'd pay off Jane's part of the mortgage, and everyone else's, for that matter (if I won enough), I'd pay off Mum's mortgage and give her some money to do the house up, buy a modest little place for David, Katie and Jasmine so they wouldn't have…

Quiet week

By Iain 8 August 2010ReflectionsNo Comments

Last week was... quiet, not a lot happened. I found out Barclays closed my bank account because it was inactive, and wanted me to spend £80 on a passport to re-open it. Rubbish. Jane was off for a few days last week, her appendix was grumbling, giving her jip. Poor girl. Next week will be quiet in a different kind…

But Daddy I wanted to eat the lemon

By Iain 18 July 2010Reflections, Videogames2 Comments

Went to see Jasmine (and Mum, David and Katie as well) yesterday, got to give her her belated birthday presents. We got her this turtle thing that plays little tunes while roaming around launching little plastic balls out of it's back that'll encourage her to crawl after it. Well, we put some batteries in it and as soon as it…

I love the Eighties

By Iain 26 June 2010Music, VideogamesNo Comments

Lips: I Love the 80's is absolutely amazing, I have to mention this. Jane has always loved 80's music and picked it up in Asda earlier in the week. An inspired decision, I must admit. I was surprised how many songs I knew - or at least thought I knew! It seems I mostly only know the catchy chorus bits,…

Quiet week

By Iain 16 May 2010Music, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

It's been quite quiet, not only on here (which makes a change - I usually find something to write about) but also life in general. As such, I've not really got much to say. Still no luck on the job front, I've had a few interviews recently, and a few good looking prospects, but still no job to show for…

I’m not the same person I was seven years ago

By Iain 11 April 2010Reflections2 Comments

I went back and re-read this post the other day – it was most enlightening. I was so sad back then, I look back and it’s genuinely hard for me to recognise my own writing. I mean, I know it’s just words on a screen, it’s not hand-written, but it’s hard for me to see that it was me.
