After a few stuttering starts I am finally back on track writing my story. I have wanted to write a book for years, but never really had the confidence. Then last year you may remember that I started with a mind map or several on paper. Then it sort of got stuck there as IContinue reading “My story is starting to take shape again!”

A brief look back at 2017 then full speed into 2018
New Year’s Day is a reflective day. Normally down to the over indulgence of the night before. I was a good boy this year and only had a few drinks, in front of the telly. Saying that I went for a run this morning and still felt the effects of a week of over eatingContinue reading “A brief look back at 2017 then full speed into 2018”
My Album of The Year
As you all know from my blogs music plays an important part in my life. I take music with me wherever I go. Whether that be on my run, on the way to work, in my office and in the seminar rooms just before teaching. Music can provide a narrative to what is going onContinue reading “My Album of The Year”
Walking Through Treacle
It was like walking through treacle going to work this morning. My chest was tight, my legs felt like lead, and I had a feeling of impending doom one minute, then a feeling of complete indifference the next. On at least 2 occasions on my way to work I considered turning around and going home andContinue reading “Walking Through Treacle”

The Mix Tape of My 90s
As I mentioned in my previous blog when I tasked myself with putting together the soundtrack of my life so far it ended up being over 7 hours long, so I decided to imagine I was putting the music of a C90 tape, therefore restricting what I could include. That has been the best bit,Continue reading “The Mix Tape of My 90s”
The mix tape of my teen years
The other week I shared 20 albums that have had an influence on me. I had so much fun that I thought I would compile a list of songs that I enjoy and have provided my soundtrack. To provide some parameters I imagined I was putting together a C90 mix tape, to ensure my listContinue reading “The mix tape of my teen years”
Hull City, My Boys and Me
My old Sociology teacher Mrs Turner, once called me culturally deprived. At the time I wasn’t quite sure what she meant (I suppose that could have been down to my cultural deprivation). When I became an adult I understood what she meant. I had experienced very few traditional male influences during my childhood. I hadContinue reading “Hull City, My Boys and Me”
My Top 20 Albums
On Friday I saw a few lists on Facebook of people’s top 10 bands. That got me thinking about how important music is in my life. Since I was a young child music has played a huge part in my life (listening to it, I have no talent when it comes to producing it), andContinue reading “My Top 20 Albums”
