The Butterfly Who Flapped Too Hard

  • Music for every occasion!

    Ooft that was a rough few days. Thought my head might actually and literally explode a few times there, but I made it through with the help of my old friend.... Gin! (Remember to drink responsibly folks, and only over the age of 18 - your choice if that's you or the bottle ;) )

    But there was something I was thinking about the last few days, and it's music. Now, don't get me wrong, there's a lot of rubbish out there…

  • All bunged up!

    I'm sure you can guess from the title what this post is going to be about..... YUP! Constipation!

  • I'm in the club!

    (This one was written back in Jan/Feb 2013, but I had nowhere to post it)

    It's official! I've passed all the tests and background checks, and I've been allowed into one of the most exclusive clubs in the world. To get in, the tests were really invasive and intrusive, and for a while it looked like I wasn't going to get in. But then, after one last check that was the most probative yet and which I had to fight hard for…
