What to do whilst waiting for middle sprog to emerge from the bathroom (hour and a half so far)? Read a sample of one’s flood of emails (so many publishers begging for my transcript), and make the mistake of reading the one from Curtis Brown Creatives. The email links to a number of posts withContinue reading “Silly Writing Tip – How to be an Anomalous Vitruvian …”

56: The Morning After
Disclaimer: Should you choose to purchase a featured book, via an image link to Amazon, Jay Cool will receive a commission at no extra cost to yourself. It’s the morning after the day before; the day before being the last working day of my formal employment. Not that there was anything at all formal about thisContinue reading “56: The Morning After”
55: Finiarted
Finished. Finished the day job. Started my life as me. Finiarted. Copyright owned by Jay Cool, July 2019 Image depicting my reaction a few moments ago, when Hubby returned from the supermarket minus the celebratory bottle of fizz I sent him out for, by Domenic Hoffmann from Pixabay
54: One More Day
I’m still here. And, still to come, is one more day of the day job. To make thoughts of tomorrow more palatable, I imagine a look-after-themself-only type being situated on a Subbuteo pitch. A large forefinger and thumb descend from on high. Flick. FliCK. FLICK. FLICK. The ball bounces off the goal post, pinging backContinue reading “54: One More Day”
53: Two More Days
Only two more days to go. Not that I’m wishing myself away – just the day job. In two days, step out of my workplace knowing that I will never have to step back in. Not that I will be completely unfettered. The full unfettering won’t happen until the date of expiry. NotContinue reading “53: Two More Days”
Savvy Diary 39: Borley Mill
Disclaimer: This post contains image links for books available at Amazon, for which I do not receive any commission. It’s Sunday. I’m on the move along Northern Road and I have to say that my dainty ballerina’s arthritic feet look rather sweet when intermingled with so many pink flowers. And just take a look atContinue reading “Savvy Diary 39: Borley Mill”
51: Saucy Sunday
Fed up with tidying up everyone else’s mess, I thought I’d experiment, i.e. abandon the kitchen for a day, in the hope that Hubby might get busy in there. Hubby did get busy in there. After a long Sunday-morning lie-in, I decide to face reality and venture into the kitchen. This is what it looksContinue reading “51: Saucy Sunday”
50: Croissants in Cornard
Saturday. A definite picnic day. Only five more days left of the day job. Time to prepare for the wind down! I turf out all the junk mail that’s been accumulating in my stylish picnic basket and fill it to the brim with delights. Lots of healthy fruit – a water melon, bananas, tomatoes, etc.Continue reading “50: Croissants in Cornard”
38: Assington
Saturday. Time to get out and to be out. Today’s destination? No, I’m not driving to work on a Saturday – forget that! But, every workday, I drive up the A14 towards Colchester and, out of the corner of my right eye, see a church steeple beckoning to me from on high. Come on! itContinue reading “38: Assington”
49: Sad
Disclaimer: If you decide to purchase a featured product, via one of the image links, I will receive a commission from Amazon at no extra cost to yourself. Seven working days to go and they ain’t half dragging! Sure, a part of me is sad – I have been in this job for twenty-three yearsContinue reading “49: Sad”
