I'm here because that other place is dying a horrible death. Mostly talk about TV and moan about daily life. Father of 3 including a young son with rare genetic disorder MPS II who we sadly lost recently. Ipswich, England.

I love going shopping for books but STOP MAKING YOUR COVERS SO SIMILAR. Hate it. Catch my attention.

Watching this dove today, so many families stood together sharing in their loss and their pain. Barely a word spoken between us but we just knew. We understood. A journey so many take together unknowingly. A grief in many different stages but a grief all the same.

I don't post here much anymore but for anyone I don't have elsewhere I just wanted to share this. Hopefully through talking openly about my grief and child loss I can help others relate or understand more ❤️

First day back in the office in 5 months. Aim for the day is survival. Nothing more. Nothing less. Just survive.

I love hiding in the cinema for a day.

*Not ACTUALLY hiding. I do have a membership.

The More Things Change.. How can someone be there one moment and then gone forever the next?

Actually the exact reason I never read the book. Thought it sounded shit.

When my brain is refusing to function, I either watch all of Taskmaster again or I watch Normal People because I will forever be obsessed with Marianne and Connell.

The Silence Of Grief If you had asked me six months ago what one of my favourite things in the world was, I would have quite honestly said silence.

There's probably a whole ass bunch of people out there that don't know there's a 3 minute version of the Friends theme.

Father's Day was a tough one.

I survived.

Now to work out how to survive today. And the next day. And the next day.

It never ends.

Absolutely shit. But I keep on. All I can do.

People asking how I'm doing but not really being interested in the answer is pretty annoying. Just say hi if you want to be polite. I don't want to smile and say I'm great. I'm not in the mood for lying. I'm far from great.

Another good episode. Loved the general idea about it all. Let's see if they stick the landing next week.

#DoctorWho

If I see one more person celebrating the potential demise of #DoctorWho because it's now too "woke".. 🙄

Ncuti is amazing. Diversity isn't woke. It's real life.

Won't say much other than definitely glad I went in spoiler free on that. Who knew the Eurovision based episode would be quite that powerful. #DoctorWho

The saddest thing about looking at photos is knowing I'll never be able to take another one ❤️

#DoctorWho has been wonderful this series. Not that I didn't like it before but this is definitely a level above.

Anyone moaning about diversity or any other rubbish needs to live in the real world.

A show about time and space should never just be stuck in London with a bunch of white people.

Not sure what my therapy will be after I get through all my Lego and books.

Oh wait.. buy more Lego and more books. Good plan.
