Good morning and what a fine one it is here in Ugly Derbyshire, home of this Nobody. We have had a series of lovely mornings, lovely days. What a joy. I even mowed the lawn yesterday. I am only able to use the light weight mower so I am not sure I did the best […]

Nobody Like Me Vindicated at last! It would seem that there are other Nobodies out there. In fact, it has been confirmed by none other than ‘The Times of London’. Mona Lisa and I are kindred spirits. All I need now is a rogue Italian to ‘nick’ me for a short period before returning me

I know, I’m dreadfully late posting today. An early physio appointment has thrown my entire day’s schedule into chaos. The lovely therapist I met this morning confirmed something I had suggested many, many months ago. But before I go any further, I must share some earth-shattering news. I need to sit down and properly savour

Oh my goodness, yesterday was a big one. Mentally that is. We had the Directors meeting which formally agreed to voluntary liquidate our paint company. We have now handed over the final stages of its closure to the Liquidators and we are free to start really living in the future. No actually, start living for

I am beginning to wonder if we are living in a James Bond film? I am convinced ‘y’man in the US has modelled himself on Auric Goldfinger. Early this morning, I came across him briefing the press about how the democratically elected President of Ukraine wasn’t democratically elected and he should just disappear. This was

Righty ho Peeps, let’s get a little more organised. Today is allocated for administrative purposes and my ramblings here is the first to be ‘administrated’. The Diary of a Fifty Something Nobody will remain as is, for now. That is, a short update everyday. However, I will also write a longer article once a month.

When I was younger, I always swore I should have been born in the Caribbean and as I head towards older age, I know it. I was not really destined for the cold dampness of middle England in February. It sucks the lifeblood out of me more than a certain elderly relative and, I can

I have said this many times, although I appear to be an extrovert to the untrained eye, I really am not. This weekend is definitely outing my desire to be in my own space with not so much (like no) peoply interference. I have been a little stupid, I actually know better but, I agreed
