What on earth am I doing on this blog?

If I wrote out all the amazing ideas, strategy and content in my head for this blog on napkins they'd surely make a pile big enough to cushion the landing of a small elephant from falling from space. Please don't ask how an elephant got up there in the first place. Anyway, I digress. And this seems to be the problem, I digress. I have declared myself a writer, blogger, podcaster and keeping a state where my attention is maintained is a challenge. For example, so far in what I am writing righ

Falling towards Tigre....

This episode is brought to you from my favourite place on earth, no not the front row of a David Bowie concert, the jetty of our friends house in Tigre, just outside BA in Argentina. I am still trying to work out how we are lucky enough to have friends that decided to ditch their flat in the middle of BA to move to the very inconvenient and very amazing Tigre. Tigre is a Delta outside BA, I thought Delta was an airline, but it is a recently formed collection of islands - recently I mean 200 ye

Racing home to pick up #babybernie - I noticed the date today and was thinking how much has changed in the last 12 months. I have been ambling around listening to "Lola's theme" by the Shapeshifters for nearly a decade (hells teeth - that long!) The key line for me is "I'm a different person, turned my World around - da da da daaa" - the first time I ever heard that song was coming into dock on the River Thames on a party boat.I love the song, really love it, but it also twists me. When I heard

Ok so this is your next post and you have already started.What is going on with you today and what do you want to share?.Really? I am so fucking chuffed that I just can't stop writing and can do it so fast.So how about how far you have come and that you feel like you have leapt out of a car going over a cliff that has been on the way for ages and you knew you had to get out of it but were too frightened to do anything.I have always known I'd make it, I just knew. If you had looked at me on the w

It was 1997 or maybe even 1998 and I was wondering around Canary Wharf where I worked, I felt like a teenager and was certainly acting like one. I had just only just got over big relationship number two and little did I know I was heading for big relationship number three and a couple of years later would have my heart ripped out again. I would excitedly meet 'then girlfriend' and gaze into her eyes over coffee at Pret, or wait in the rain by the Docklands train - no Jubilee line in those days

So reader, what is going on here? A few of you, well two people have asked "Hey Bernie how is the blog challenge going?" Honestly some days it is a curse, a curse in the way that small children who are alive and full of energy are. You want them to be that way and love them dearly but sometimes you are not in the mood and have to play anyway. On the flip side I have learnt a lot about choice from both #babybernie and my blog. For Years I have 'dreamed of being a blogger' I have dissected every

It was 1997 and we were coming home from my birthday party we'd been to the cinema or a pub and it was late, very late to be out with Jenny and Anna. One of the things I liked about being with Jenny and Anna is that it was all moments, no gasping highs and dreadful lows, just moments - little bits of music, food, walks interspersed with mugs of coco and good coffee. We'd been together on our birthdays at 18, 21 and now it was 1997. I was a bit starting to feel really lost but still 'acceptabil

It was all going so well and then it happened. I woke up and quickly wrote my 750words.com and then headed out for the day. I had therapy and then the dentist with the rest of the family and then went home. Honestly, I just could not face walking across the wind and rain swept Olympic park, or getting the bus. So this is why I missed a day yesterday... #Supercoolwife and I dropped the boy back and nursery and sneaked off to our favourite Polish restaurant for some lunch before getting on wi

I am very sure that porn and inspirational quotes are what keep the internet going, we'd hate to admit it but what teenage boys thrive off is also what most of the human race with access to the internet seeks out. Every time I stick a few words over a picture it seems to propel what ever message I am pimping that week, it also annoys the hell out of me that posting a quote on twitter early in the morning is certain way to get a few early morning RT's (Re-tweets) - while we are here can you tell
