Hello, I’m James and you are currently reading my latest post on a blog that I like to call ‘James Proclaims’. There’s a chance that…

Last week we explored the efficacy of ducks (or more accurately geese, which aren’t ducks) at hindering my morning run, in comparison to puddles. That…
-
A couple of notes before I begin: This post is notionally about ducks, but really it’s more about geese. And a tiny bit about swans.…

Don’t be fooled by the title of the post – unless you are my almost-two-year-old daughter, I am not your father. And I’m pretty sure…

Note – I started writing this on Sunday, but didn’t get around to finishing it until today. So every reference to ‘today’, with the exception of…

I’m in a meeting as I write this. It is, as most meetings are these days, a ‘virtual’ meeting. I’m currently using Zoom. I have…

I think I’ve mentioned it before on this blog, but wife and I are attempting to bring our daughter up to be bilingual. This stems…

As is the case for most people, it has been a while since I had a haircut. Not that this is anything new, I’m more…

Having been largely dormant for much of 2019, my blog has enjoyed something of a resurgence of late. This may be a natural consequence of…

And so we arrive at day 31 of May 2020, which means that my month long homage to Star Wars can finally end. Which is…

Today is Towel Day, an annual celebration in honour of the late great Douglas Adams, and in particular ‘The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy’, which…

There are still quite a few days left of May. Which is surprising because it feels like I’ve been writing about Star Wars forever. Although…

Much like when I decided to dedicate a post to my collection of Star Wars mugs, I’m not feeling quite up to writing a review…
-
The Force is not particularly strong with me today. Or indeed any day, because obviously ‘The Force’ is entirely made up. And much as I…

Can you truly call yourself a Star Wars fan if you’ve never seen the 1978 ‘Star Wars Holiday Special’? Yes. Of course you can. Indeed…

Without a shadow of a doubt, life on lockdown has hit other people harder than me. I am, under the circumstances, relatively lucky. I have…

No-one loves a pandemic more than me. Then again, no-one loves a pandemic less than me. Because, presumably, no-one loves a pandemic. Except possibly toilet-paper…

I used to have a boss. For the sake of anonymity, we’ll call him Brian. He wasn’t called Brian, but he wasn’t a bad guy…

When last I blogged, I did so from my office in a very much still open, though poorly attended, school. That same day the government…

Two years ago this blog was positively thriving. Between November 2017 and May 2018, I wrote a post everyday for 200 consecutive days. I write…

We’re now in the last week of February 2020 and I have clearly missed my goal of making sure I post something on this blog…

In the ‘real world’ there is a man called James who looks a lot like me and who some people might describe as reasonably intelligent.…

Today is Blue Monday and therefore officially the most depressing day of the year. This is based on actual scientific fact and not a slap…

It’s the second Monday in January and Christmas is now but a distant memory. Although my bank balance might disagree and pay day does seem…

Today is January 6th and by any definition Christmas is now over. Except for all the masses of chocolate, wine and beer that appear to…
