Don't Blame the Stars: February 2008
http://dontblamethestars.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Don't Blame the Stars. A piece of me. Wednesday, February 27, 2008. I wrote, quite some months ago. I remember reading (I think on Relate's website) that because most couples see therapy as a last resort, they can leave it almost too late, when everything becomes harder to fix. At the same time, I also wrote:. I think that my first statement above applies just as much to individual counselling, too. All the signs were there. I had a chilling reminder of this less than a year ago. If you, reading this, ar...

Don't Blame the Stars: January 2008
http://dontblamethestars.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Don't Blame the Stars. A piece of me. Tuesday, January 29, 2008. Nope, I'm still not dead ;) I've been musing the last post. It's one of those things where I've been thinking I'd like to say something to explain what happened since then ( Summary: :). But I haven't really worked out what. Anyway, it's not likely to be within the next few days - early tomorrow (Wednesday) morning I'm off up to Doncaster with my boss to demo our progress with an application we started writing this month to a new client.

Don't Blame the Stars: A Year On from a Long Week
http://dontblamethestars.blogspot.com/2007/08/year-on-from-long-week.html
Don't Blame the Stars. A piece of me. Sunday, August 10, 2008. A Year On from a Long Week. I have fifteen posts with a Draft status. Some of them are duplicates, some of them are notes, some of them are only for me, and some are simply unfinished. My Nan died a year ago yesterday (09/08/07), and it is her that this post discusses. Originally dated 23/08/07, I was writing it some two days after her funeral. I can remember starting it. I cannot remember why I did not finish it. Several people said it was a...

Don't Blame the Stars: A Nod to the Past
http://dontblamethestars.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-nod-to-past.html
Don't Blame the Stars. A piece of me. Wednesday, April 24, 2013. A Nod to the Past. Three years ago I made the last post to this blog, and I deleted all prior ones. Five years ago I made the final post before that before that. Seven years ago I began this blog. I suppose I really should have done something one year ago to keep that pattern of activity up. I find myself shaking my head at the timescales involved. Was it really three years since I deleted it? Is it only seven since I started it? View my co...

Don't Blame the Stars: Minds are like parachutes
http://dontblamethestars.blogspot.com/2008/09/minds-are-like-parachutes.html
Don't Blame the Stars. A piece of me. Saturday, September 13, 2008. Minds are like parachutes. Just because you've lost yours doens't mean you can borrow mine. Hehehehe :) Some of these things. Do crack me up :). I mean, with things like:. A few harmless flakes working together can unleash an avalanche of destruction. What's not to love? The two sides to this are both in knowing how to lead her where you want her to go. and the hard bit. figuring out where you want her to go! So, when the big parties com...

Don't Blame the Stars: Push the Button
http://dontblamethestars.blogspot.com/2008/09/push-button.html
Don't Blame the Stars. A piece of me. Wednesday, September 10, 2008. And here I am ironing my shirt. Ooh there it goes! Into the chamber, now they're removing the 'cork'! I mean I'm quite pleased for them that, on the whole, it's going so well so far. I mean it's not the sort of thing you can easily test, I imagine! This is more exciting than I was expecting, I have to say. And now I can get back on with living :). Wed Sep 10, 03:04:00 pm. Wed Sep 10, 06:13:00 pm. Thu Sep 11, 01:24:00 pm. I missed that :).

Don't Blame the Stars: Stories
http://dontblamethestars.blogspot.com/2008/09/stories.html
Don't Blame the Stars. A piece of me. Monday, September 22, 2008. I had one of those "woah! Moments over the weekend. I was engaged in a big ol' bout of tidying, organising, and filing. These things often tend to take me a while, as I can often end up getting distracted by whatever it is that I'm trying to tidy/organise/file ;). And it's true, many of these things do spark those memories, spark those smiles, as I later come to rediscover them. How did it come to you? What has it seen? Was it once a part ...

Don't Blame the Stars: November 2007
http://dontblamethestars.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Don't Blame the Stars. A piece of me. Monday, November 19, 2007. Right then," I thought, "I've got the present ordered. That's sorted. Hmm, I'll get a card while I'm thinking about it and in advance.". I found a birthday card quite quickly. I do seem to be getting better at that. Come Christmas, I can spend HOURS literally just umming and arring over cards. It doesn't help that there are too many card shops ;). Excellent. It was Dad's birthday in a couple of weeks time, and I'd got everything sorted.
