BLOG Ow! Well I think that went ok? No one died. It is 7:30pm and I am zooming home, earlier than expected. Which is great! I am on an Eastbound Central Line train standing next to a Mother with her very small baby in one of those "Baby Björn" harnesses. The baby is so cute! It reminds me of #babybernie when he was that age, it seems like 100 years ago now. Everyone said things like: "they grow up so fast", "they'll be moving out before you know it!" I believed them then and I am even more convinced n
BLOG Mood Swings in the park I am not sure where this post is going to go so stick with me. 1. I forgot to post over the weekend, I was going to lie and say the 30 days is only week days but that would be bending te truth I know keeping you promises to yourself is important. I am not going to fall on my sword or do a foefiet (spell) I am just going to get on with it. 2. The park. We go to the park a lot, it is where Oli and I connect the best. He climbs on things built for teenagers, chases ducks and runs after dogs.Som
BLOG Tottenham Court Road Man alive! I have been thinking about this post for years and years and years. (I nearly wrote tears there by mistake). Anyway! I have been coming through Tottenham Court Road Station for years. It holds joy, sorrow and mess for me.I have puked in the corner, fallen asleep on the platform, broken up with girls (actually they were probably breaking up with me but you guessed that......) Of course most of this was all in the la
BLOG I had to write something.... So much to talk about.... I have made a commitment to myself to blog here everyday and have been walking around all morning trying to decide what to write about. Less is more So of course when you want to write about everything you end up writing about nothing..... If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything.... Working out loud - what a pussy. Which made me recall that I am working out loud, I am sat here at my other favourite London co-working place contemplating about thinkin
BLOG Reinventing You, me, everybody..... So I wake up this morning in a BLAZE of glory and think bollox. I did SOOOOOO much yesterday I am going to have to do finish it all today. Time is something I have enough of. The only thing I have more of than time is fear. Not fear that I am about to die, that the cops are coming to get me or a plane is about to land on my house. Fear that if something goes wrong today my new zest for life will be stamped on. The last few months have been shit. When I was little I'd drink too much vodka and
BLOG Frozen in the middle..... One of the things that stops me writing here openly is that I worry what people will think. Phew, there I have said it. Out of jail. I have acres of prime time content that has never seen the light of day because I am worried that someone won't like it. Actually when someone does not like something or says it to my face I NEVER get upset, (ok it hurts but actually it is only one or two people in the whole world that I really 'get upset' by ;-) I STRIVE to be constructive so I always ask opini
BLOG It seemed important at the time I have been thinking about this all week. The phrase that has been hanging in the all month is working out loud. (I'll come back and add the links in there later) (but I probably won't as I'll forget). ANYWAY What ever will people think if we work out loud? If we let people know what we can and can't do? I have been thinking about blogging like this for, er three years, ten years, actually even before anyone even invented blogging I had some form of mindless stream of consciousness going on
BLOG 30 Day Blog Challenge Day Four What does it take to really be location independent? Don't get attached? I have a suspicion it has something to do with mindset? Can I answer it like this? Once upon a time I lived only in the UK and always worked near town centres and shopping malls, by mistake of course. In 2004 I went to work teaching English on a language camp in the middle of a forest in Poland for five weeks. When I came back I stood for nearly an hour in the middle of the shopping and gasped - of course I did not gasp
BLOG Let the record show I just could not get my head around it... I been waiting for for my "Bernie Blog" URL to be back up and running so I could write about this. I have to write about this. Last week the inside of my brain started to melt. Of course it did not really start to melt but that is what it felt like. Then I felt like I had been given a frontal lobotomy - I have not had one of those either but I guess that is what it feels like. A few weeks ago my Doctor doubled my medication dosage. THAT medication - t
BLOG Hospitals, blood tests and blogging So here I am having a blood test, I hate needles and can never understand why. It has taken me three months and lots of stern looks form our Doctor to get me here, in fact the only thing that has really got me here is because the surgery has been relocated inside the hospital and you have to walk through the blood test centre to get to the Doctor. I am sitting here pondering how to address this next point, why is it we procrastinate on getting help? (I kind of know the answer) Getting the bloo

BLOG Learning to be a Dad.... As you will know I am a big fan of my son #babybernie - in fact "Bernie the Dad" is the most comfortable version of myself that I have ever been. When I think back to previous relationships when I was younger and some near misses with being a Dad I wonder how I would have coped, well I don't actually - it would have been a mess. It is amazing the velocity with which you grow up with another human being who has no concept of your time, workload or agenda. You are not able to bargain with them, re
