Inside My Mind
Posted in Uncategorized on May 16, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
I thought it would be beneficial if I gave you an insight into my mind. This is the kind of thing I think about all day every day, and usually you have the advantage of thorough editing as I attempt to turn my thoughts into blog posts. Today I thought I’d give you the unedited [...]
Sloppy Seconds

I’m dreading Noah’s 18th birthday, even if it is 16 years away. Why? Because when my wife and I inevitably break out the old albums to embarrass him in front of his girlfriend, we’ll struggle to find any photos of him; and, as we scrabble around in boxes of memories it’ll be us who are [...]
Sick with Worry
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged child, dads, fatherhood, parenthood, parenting, safety, worry on May 14, 2012 | 2 Comments »
Someone once told me that you don’t know the meaning of worry until you become a parent – and ever since I’ve become a dad, I know exactly what they’re talking about. Fuelled by horrific news stories like this and this, I sometimes find my anxiety rising to epic proportions. In fact, if I were [...]

I’m gobsmacked. Speechless. And believe me, that doesn’t happen often. For the past five days ‘Goodbye, Pert Breasts’ and ‘Teething Pains’ have been available to download for free. You are probably already aware of this, as I’ve been tweeting about it incessantly to the point where I’m losing most of my real-life friends, as they’re [...]

The Parenting Disclaimer (or, A Big But)
Posted in Uncategorized on May 2, 2012 | 3 Comments »
It is a sentence which has been spoken by every parent, and it goes a little something like this. ‘Don’t get me wrong, I love my kids. I wouldn’t change them for the world. But…’ As the arrival of our third child draws ever closer, the number of conversations between me and my wife which [...]
Going Faster Than Walking Pace, For Once

Those of you who know me will know that – physically, at least – I’m an incredibly lazy person. Very rarely do I exercise, which has left me so unfit that a jog upstairs will render me breathless for around ten minutes. On the odd occasion I play football you’ll find me nestled behind the [...]
