I think I have about three planned/half-planned posts. This one wasn’t part of the initial plan, but the idea came about later during the year. Mind you, I say ‘the idea’, but there is none as I am writing this introduction before writing the article not after. So I might touch on a few things, …
So, what’s your personality type? I never wondered, I never asked myself, and I just stumbled on a MBTI test while researching personality disorders. And so I thought ‘yeah, let’s try one of those silly tests, see if you can get a result for free, and take it with a pinch of salt’. In the …

I have only a few ‘blogs’ left that were ideas I had at the start or near it, but trying to keep to a sort of fortnightly publication while I can, when weekends are not too busy (though I procrastinated this one to a less busy midweek as intensity of sports last weekend meant I …

Today, I beat my best time for a mile. Well, when I say that, it’s best recorded time by that tracker I got just over a year and a half ago. There is no chance it was my best mile ever (that would have been about twenty years ago), but very probably it is my …
Don’t ask me for any link/transition there….So yeah, first couple of years or so at work went well. Then came the first ‘reorganisation’. I got to learn that’s one things companies do all the time, shuffling things around and pretending that it’s rational before they destroy it all over again. Or something. And with that …
There’s a few more topics I still have for blogs, but at this point, I know I’m writing into the void, and most of the stuff in this section is some sort of autobiography anyway. But yeah, earlier this year, I realised I reached the grand milestone of 25 years of uninterrupted employment, mostly in …
I will try something a little different, just some thoughts that came to me as I’ve been thinking more of art this year and relation to the senses, my own and in general. I came to a conclusion for the sake of it, so it’s not going to be completely off the cuff on the …
Sometimes around COVID (just before the lockdowns in fact, as I got the results the day after that begun), I started to get interested in DNA tests. They had become relatively widespread, and I knew of someone who had done one and shared the results, so I was intrigued to know where I was coming …
Straight away, to save you the bother, in my case, the answer is ‘no’. Not the most emphatic no, but since apparently only 1% of the population is ambidextrous, and it’s mostly an hereditary thing, and I was clearly born right-handed, I cannot pretend to be ambidextrous. But can you ‘learn’ to be ambidextrous? Can …
…and neither is intention. This will likely be a very free-ranging post with tangential rants/topics, and also an excuse to talk about triangulation. This is not a post about psychedelic drugs… :-p Starting point less of a direct remark this time, or not to me I think, just a tweet from someone who said ‘perception …
