Your toothbrush is in the garden – Idle blogs of an idle fellow

https://tomhocknell.wordpress.com/2015/07/20/your-toothbrush-is-in-the-garden

Idle blogs of an idle fellow. Journeys from the fax. Your toothbrush is in the garden. To be fair, ‘How to know you are a parent’ is not a blog people are crying out for. The most frequent observation of parents is the vague concept of having had a life before toddlers, despite being unable to identify what it was. There are memories not involving Primary school BBQs, bric-a-brac sales and PTA meetings that are evidenced by photos, even if you can’t recall where you were, or who with, or why. One of the ...

https://tomhocknell.wordpress.com/2015/07/06/when-did-getting-a-decent-cup-of-tea-become-so-difficult

Idle blogs of an idle fellow. Journeys from the fax. When Did Getting A Decent Cup Of Tea Become So Difficult? What would Orwell have made of our caffeine-obsessed society, trampling afternoon tea underfoot? Fuck knows. There’s no small? Isn’t it all just one teabag? When was small upgraded to medium? This all goes unsaid other than – Do I get two tea bags in the large? No So, it’s the same isn’t it? 8211; The cups cost the same, the water costs the sameOnce they’ve made this state of affairs look like m...

Have You Done Your Happiness Audit?  - E. L. Lindley

http://ellindley.weebly.com/blog/have-you-done-your-happiness-audit

The Ties That Bind. Have You Done Your Happiness Audit? All too often we end up constructing barriers to our own well being by placing constraints on happiness. If only I had more money, if only I didn’t have to go to work, if only I was slimmer – does it sound familiar? There are so many pitfalls that, if we’re not careful, we can easily fall victim to but in the end none of them matter a jot. So what’s the problem, I hear you ask? How many of us fully appreciate the life we have? I don't know. What...

Middle-Age No-Go Areas  - E. L. Lindley

http://ellindley.weebly.com/blog/middle-age-no-go-areas

The Ties That Bind. During a conversation with my friend this weekend, we deduced that there are certain things that are no longer do-able once you reach a certain age. Strangely though (and this was verified by a woman on the next table, who joined in with our musings when her husband went to the bar), these things are not fixed and each of us have our own peculiarly personal middle-age no-go areas. Oh, I can see myself in so much of this post! Hilarious, thanks for the laugh :-D. Give up the fair!

How to read, and write, Music Reviews. – Idle blogs of an idle fellow

https://tomhocknell.wordpress.com/2015/08/03/how-to-read-and-write-music-reviews

Idle blogs of an idle fellow. Journeys from the fax. How to read, and write, Music Reviews. Reviewers have mellowed since the 80s/90s reviews of NME and Melody Maker, where hangovers, indigestion or missing a train would result in the sort of damning judgement more suited to high court verdicts of a particularly horrific murder case than the description of a ropey debut album. Summer is a good time of year to release music, as critics aren’t listening in cities at temperatures suited to the throat of vol...
