Despite keeping up the pretence, even to myself, that I will make up the defecit caused by my feeble efforts on work days, by fully…

It’s Friday evening and therefore the weekend. I don’t have any half-marathons to run this weekend, though I think it’s fair to say that I’m…

Irrespective of how good my novel is (and it really isn’t), I can’t help but feel that these accompanying posts are a little prosaic in…

Day 10 of this NaNoWriMo/NaBloPoMo journey means I’m a third of the way there chronologically. In terms of NaBloPoMo, I’m ticking all the boxes, but…
-
Day 9 of my thirty day novel-writing challenge and progress is slow. I’m falling asleep as I write this, which is less than ideal, and…
-
It turns out running a half-marathon is tiring. I already knew this, because I did run a few in the noughties, and indeed one in…
-
In a change to the usual format (of this relatively new thing I’ve been doing), I’m posting today’s NaBloPoMo effort before I’ve even had a…

As I stumble to the end of day 6 of this folly, I am sad to report that I have not had the productive Saturday…

It’s the 5th of November and here in the UK it’s the day of the annual pyrotechnical festival known as Guy Fawkes Night. Or Bonfire…

November is but four days old and I continue to persist with my attempts to write an entire novel this month in honour of NaNoWriMo.…
-
On to day 3 and it has to be said, things are not going as well as could be hoped. I started the week with…
-
It is day 2 of November 2021 and consequently day 2 of my pledge to produce a badly written novel of circa 50,000 words by…
-
And so to day 1 of the month that is often referred to as November and my, almost certainly futile, endeavour to successfully navigate the…

Happy Halloween everybody! If indeed that is the correct greeting. Although maybe a ‘happy’ Halloween is not a successful Halloween. I wouldn’t know. I’m not…

When last I troubled the blogoshpere, it was at the end of a horrible weekend which saw Little Proclaims briefly hospitalised and the entire Proclaims…

As I write this it is Sunday evening and I’m watching highlights of last week’s Reading Festival on the television. Specifically I am watching Liam…

As I write this, it is Friday morning. I am at home, as has been the case for the last five weeks, because school is…

It’s Saturday morning as I write this and Chez Proclaims we are embarking on what is arguably the toughest challenge we have ever faced as…

As I write this I am a little inebriated. I’m currently sitting in my garden on a Saturday afternoon drinking a bottle of pink sparkling…

It has, at the time of writing, been but two days since Tokyo 2020 ended but I’m already feeling somewhat bereft. This is often the…

As I write this, Team GB has just won a bronze medal in the noble sport of dressage. I don’t know much about dressage, it…

It’s time to crack open the bubbly. No, not champagne. I can’t really justify the cost of champagne for an occasion such as this. To…

As I write this I am sitting in my garden enjoying what can only be described as a glorious Saturday morning. The sun is shining,…

As I write this, it has been just under a month since I last posted anything on this blog. By the time this actually hits…

Happy Star Wars Day everyone! I’m not sure when people started celebrating ‘Star Wars Day’ on May the Fourth. I’m not even sure if people…

Long time readers will know that last May I spent the entire month blogging about nothing but Star Wars on the flimsy premise that people…

Happy Easter everyone! Also Happy Birthday, if it is also your birthday. It is my birthday. So Happy Birthday to me! Having a birthday which…

Hello dear readers. After announcing that I would be having a break from blogging just over a week ago, I’m now announcing my return. This…

Today marks my 365th post in 365 days. I have managed to write a post every single day for an entire year. That I accomplished…

Yesterday I posted a haiku that, as with all my haikus, failed to meet most of the criteria to qualify as a haiku, and might,…
