I am a lifelong resident of the UK - sunny Lincolnshire, to be exact. I will soon be the wrong side of 50 years old, and the frightening thing about that is that I am increasingly becoming a skilled grouch.
Noun grouch (plural: grouches) 1. somebody who is grumpy or irritablewiktionary.org
I have worked at the same engineering firm all my working life, holding the wonderous title of Material Planning Manager, where I am assisted by two half-people. Or should that be two halves of people? Anyway, best not to dwell on that one. I am one of the minority who actually enjoy their job (mostly), so life isn't that bad.
Out of work I spend time with my long suffering girlfriend of 16 years ( I don't believe in rushing things), help out with computer problems and security issues at castlecops, get insulted at lilliebet.com or restore old photographs to better-than-new at DigitalMemories online
Coming back to being a grouch, I must say that generally speaking I have an upbeat outlook on life. It's just little things that annoy me. Usually the behaviour of others - motorists, kids, politicians, old people, colleagues, middle aged people ...
Perhaps some of my ramblings will strike a chord with you. Maybe you agree. Maybe not. Why not leave a comment and let me know?
Catch you later in the blog ...
