That’s Saying Nothing – 27th January 2022

You used a lot of words
To say nothing at all
Asking for some clarity
You raised a higher wall

Fake it until you make it
The megalomaniacal king
The rebels at the ramparts
Protest the hate you bring

The castle you’re living in
Contains a bloodied throne
Surrounded by your leeches
And afraid to be alone

There’s no way to be equal
In the games that you play
If you can’t explain yourself
Then there’s nothing left to say


Most people seek to avoid tedium, pain and any form of adversity. You must choose to move in the opposite direction.

Gratitude Journal

I am so happy and grateful to see Amy’s grandmum on her 90th birthday yesterday. She’d going good.

We got that attitude! – 26th March 2021

I am so happy and grateful I bought that second-hand printer from Nu after he finished his studies. It has saved us lots of time running to the print shop and I can also scan lots and lots of things for my blog.


Amy’s grandmum was in hospital yesterday – she was pooing blood – not a good thing at any age but she’s hoping to make 90 this year. The good news today is that it seems it was just an abscess that burst and she should be fine. Amy’s grandmum has the best skin I’ve ever felt. It doesn’t look that great but is so soft and smooth. Amy is hoping that she has inherited it.

We went to visit her in hospital both yesterday and today and when we got home I had totally forgotten about my online class. I feel really bad about that – not just for my student but also that I didn’t remember!

Today is a holiday so it wasn’t a normal working day which may have made me feel like it was a weekend. I also banged my head this morning – old man going senile. I hope I make 90.

Best thing about today was finishing the last of the drawings for our anniversary. What to draw next?
