It’s been all about work this last week, my actual -day(night) job. While I frequently allude to these wage earning hours I don’t particularly ramble on about what I do, however sometimes there is just as much dogs life in those moments, as in any random falling down the stairs…. (I am a “Taxi Controller”Continue reading “It’s a Dogs Life 66”

(2 days late and a dollar short) I have not, infact, been drafted to serve in the Donbass, nor have I yet been the subject of a hack by Putin’s electronic hatchet men. No, just work, well work and a new car, well nightshift , new car , anniversary, and more work; equalls, scant minutesContinue reading “It’s a Dog’s Life”

I(we) have to buy a new(er) car. Ideally it will be an estate, with an automatic gearbox (Chris’ sole requirement), less than 9 years old, and maybe a hybrid….. Frankly we were a bit amazed that the old one passed the MOT. We had prepared mentally for an uneconomic figure for work needing done, butContinue reading “It’s a Dog’s Life 63”

Hello, my name is Tony, and I identify as; Sore. My pronouns are; Ouch! and Fthth! (“Fthth!” is my best effort at the sharp inhale through your teeth sound, made when you see something sore happening to someone else. Other people seem to use it a lot ). It’s been suggested that this may beContinue reading “It’s a Dogs Life 62”

I don’t often get any “downtime” at work these days. Between the recovering economy, the school work and the never ending admin, it’s frequently all go. However the job also involves bizzarre, and off the wall enquiries (from drivers and public), which can themselves be a “diversion” from the daily grind. So last night, myContinue reading “It’s a Dogs Life 61”

I tell an unfunny story at my own expense and of course, that’s the one that gets the most views, likes and shares. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. The funniest thing I’ve ever written…. at least that’s what I promised last week, not that I (or I believe, anyone else) expects “next week onContinue reading “It’s a Dogs Life 60”

I thought for a long time before writing this one, not least because it means I must also tell my wife. No-one likes to tell a tale in which they are made to look like a gullible fool. Certainly I play up to being the fool, but that’s not the same thing as being conned.Continue reading “It’s a Dogs Life 59”

Unbelievably, that’s a year in our new house! It’s not exactly been a normal year, indeed I’m not altogether sure what a “normal year” would look like. Hogmanay was cancelled, Burns night was cancelled, many other events were steered around whether 6 could attend or who could be in the same household, or who wasContinue reading “It’s a Dogs Life 58”

Well I got a telling off for the spelling mistakes in last weeks “Life”. Sometimes I go back and correct them, but it doesn’t update on the feed most of you use, so I do wonder if that’s worth it. There’s no spell check on the “wordpress” support – or if there is, I haven’tContinue reading “It’s a Dogs Life 57”

What no New Year Special? I had some plans for a midnight Hogmany video appearance (with song), but the party was cancelled as everyone had to isolate, and, in fit of pique, I went to bed at half ten…zzzzzz However a belated Happy New Year to all, and I’d like to start it with aContinue reading “It’s a Dog’s Life 56”
