So then, today. Not great by any stretch really. Not up there with major tragedies or anything, but bad enough for me to feel quite down. For the last few months, I’ve been honing my skills as a photographer, in the hope that I may be able to one day do it professionally, or at [...]
David is perturbed by the little things
It’s amazing what silly little things annoy me, and make me laugh in equal measure. I guess a lot of it depends on my mood at the time.The other day, I was eating a Halls Menthol sweet to clear my nose, and sooth my throat (other decongestants are available). I was a little bored, and [...]
There’s something about David
Just a quick post, which I’ll elaborate on later. A couple of things happened today, that indicate to me that I attract nutters. 1. Got shouted at by an old man that was outside Woolworths, sat on the display patio furniture, rolling a woodbine. 2. When trying to buy Empire magazine, with a special edition [...]
I am constantly amazed by the stream of catalogues that you get in newspapers, the ones that sell really tacky things. You know the ones I mean, that claim to sell the world’s lightest shoe, with a picture of it balancing on a finger. Now I can’t speak for you, nor would I want to, [...]
David becomes at one with nature
Feet montageOriginally uploaded by Joinee Dave. This weekend, we went out to sample the delights of a local garden centre, at Trentham, near Stone.Trentham used to house a beautiful Italian Garden, and was quite the place to be, for the upper classes. Indeed, Les Dennis in his heyday performed there! Exactly.In recent times though, it [...]
David has his hopes raised
As a quick note after the last post, within one hour of posting that I didn’t have anything to do, I have been informed that as of Monday, I will be exceedingly busy. I would just like to add, there has been no sign of Avril Lavigne or Anna Paquin turning up at my desk [...]
David has a spare few moments
Is there anything worse than being completely bored, when all around you, people are very busy? Well, clearly there is, but sometimes I wonder.At the moment, my working life appears to consist of coming in, pottering around on the internet, and then going home once I’ve done my hours. Now admittedly, for a little while, [...]
David receives some bad news
Me and Hobbes Originally uploaded by Joinee Dave. About an hour ago, I received an email from my parents. Our cat, Hobbes, has died. She was in a lot of pain, so it was for the best really.I’ve never been this far away from home when a member of the family has passed away, and [...]
David goes to Nottingham – My GGF Diary
With each Friday for Joinees already being “Good”, the Easter holiday marks a Good Good Friday (GGF), and this year was no different.As tradition dictates, over a hundred Joinees descended on Nottingham and filled the streets with joy, then went for a pint. Or two.We all met up at Via Fosse, by the canal, at [...]
Join Me
Right then, I guess it’s time to tell you a little bit about Join Me. Throughout this blog, you’ll probably see me refer to Joinees, and the cult/group of people that do nice things in a random fashion, followed by a trip to the pub. Well, this is what they’re all about. I’ll just give [...]
