Help Stray Cats in the Winter
I’m currently looking after three stray cats in my garden. This is due to their previous owner not giving a crap and choosing to leave them outside to fend for themselves. So if you read this previous owner, I would just like to say I think you are inhumane. Shame on you!

Women are Amazing!
Before I begin. A short disclaimer … Although improving, my adherence to the political correctness of the modern age is sometimes lacking. So if anyone gets offended (which seems a popular trait these days) please feel free to call me out. Thank you!

I’m a ‘Catastrophist’ searching for a Cure.
Tomorrow, I have a meeting with my counselor to try and find a solution to my long-term problem of catastrophising. If I’m lucky, I might not have a serious accident on the way. But in my catastrophic mind, I’m afraid that’s already happened.

I Didn’t Realise I Was an Alcoholic in my Twenties
There was nothing I enjoyed more in my youth than a boozy night out with the lads. We would begin the evening supping vodka and coke while listening to music and playing poker. Then we would go clubbing and dance the night away. It was all great fun at the time and I don’t regret a moment of it.

The day Charlie was put to sleep
Waking that morning, I could hear his faint meows from downstairs. These were not the meows of old, when he would cry for me to feed him his posh cat food. Nor was it the sound of him play-fighting with his sister Lucy, who he loved dearly until her passing from leukaemia many years before.
