Monday, 14th August 2023. Jeez! It’s a bit gloomy for August. Then again, isn’t it always? I’ve got quite a few life tasks to do. Things that have been neglected. Nothing serious. Just stuff like renewing my passport and health and safety certificate, getting my eyes tested, etc… As usual, money is tight. I could do with a lucky bonus! …
Never Get Off The Boat – Ever Changing Moods.
Wednesday, 9th August 2023. I’m happy. A lot has been going on since the last blog. Some new interests. Some new people in my life. I’ve been getting out and about. Less staying in and hiding. I’ve seen the sea twice. Work has been good. Much less physical, but psychical enough to prevent me from getting too lazy. The times …
Never Get Off The Boat – Tempus Fugit
Tuesday, 11th July 2023. 13:55 Long, laborious meetings, walking around the city, and meal deals. That sums up my day. Me and my Guv sat in a meeting for 2 hours, staring at equally bored contract clients whilst some of them tried to thrash out details that no one knew the answer to. Tuesday, 18th July 2023. I’ve just been …
Never Get Off The Boat – Sort My Fucking Life Out.
Saturday, 1sy July 2023. My eldest will be 19 years old in 10 days’ time. Tepus fugit my friends. Tepus fugit. I was 19, like yesterday. Sitting on the curb down The Beehive Road. A world of promise before me. Beautiful friends, all ready to be betrayed by selfish wanting. Those were the days. Sunday, 2nd July 2023. Wrecked as …
Never Get Off The Boat – Dull Work Week
Tuesday, 27th June 2023. So fucking TIRED! I’ve slept plenty but still. I did a horrible job yesterday, which took all day. I have to move the van twice. Keep walking back to it to collect stuff…. I was asleep by 1930. Anyway, today was big meeting day. For the big job we are taking on. 4 floors, a couple …
Never Get Off The Boat – The INsaNiTy(Striving for normality)
Tuesday, 20th June 2023. Surreal was the wrong word. Insanity is closer, but still not right. The humidity. The comedown. The thoughts…….!? Yep. Insanity. I couldn’t wake up. We didn’t leave the house until gone 9am. We didn’t arrive in Hatton Garden until 11. We sweated our way through the tedious task, then arrived back home at 2pm. We listened …
Never Get Off The Boat – Before Insanity
Friday, 16th June 2023. 10:52 Lovely! It was a nice opportunity to have my Friday breakfast in The Crosse Keys. The last time I worked near here, it was shut for renovation. It is definitely a big, old lump of a building. I’m having my usual eggs benedict and Guinness. By the time we get back, we will only have …
Never Get Off The Boat – Surreal All The Time
Tuesday, 13th June 2023. No sleep. Heat. Sweat. There’s always something to moan about. I need sleep. 17:08 I spent the day at my boss’s house, doing utter shit. Painful, excruciating shit. I don’t blame him. He is keeping money coming in. Pfft. Money? Money is breaking me, but not as much as it should be. There are too many …
Never Get Off The Boat – Laying On A Bathroom Floor.
Tuesday, 6th June 2023. I ended up going to work today. So, there is always, at least, a small pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Tomorrow, if there is nothing else, I’m going to lay my Guv’s bathroom floor. He’s not lazy. He’s fucked his back. I spent a lot of time fucking about yesterday, thus a …
Never Get Off The Boat – Back Under The Shadow
Thursday, 1st June 2023. It pretty much went downhill since Tuesday. I quickly fell back under the shadow. As is the norm. Depression reigns in an unstable mind. I had had my 2 weeks in the light. Feeling good. What have you. Now, the clouds cometh. Pete Fenton knows. I also find that if I don’t work, I don’t get …
