Not as in glue or as in James (though I have now seen my first James Bond film so I was hoping it was that one). As in the bonds that tie us together. Bonds that connect us to somebody else. That is the theme on Tara’s Gallery this week. I thought I would share something a bit more off the wall than that. And show you want actually bonds
Random, as it suggests!

So here’s the thing — the secret thing — Chapter 1
Have I mentioned the Secret Thing to you at all? You probably won’t have seen anything about it on Twitter. It has barely registered on my radar at all and so I haven’t mentioned it much. At all.

Another reason why I hate football
I had gone to bed before the incident during the Chelsea / Swansea game on Wednesday night. And it is a good job because if I had seen it I would have worked myself up into such a rage I wouldn’t have been able to sleep for a week. A 17 year old ball boy gets kicked because a premiership footballer thinks that the boy has held on to the

The Gallery — Adventure
This week’s theme on The Gallery is Adventure. Hmm. Not known for being adventurous this meant a rummage through the archives again. And then it struck me. The adventure that nearly killed us. Well that is slightly over dramatic but Mr B has his moments of being a bit of a daredevil. And not wanting to be seen as a wuss I go along with it.

The end of an era
That is what today is, the end of an era. For four years I have been driving J to and from school on a trip that takes anything from 2.5 to 3 hours on a Monday morning. He is a weekly boarder so needs to be picked up Saturday lunchtime and taken back on Sunday night or Monday morning. For three years it was Sunday night but for
