  How to get through the changing seasons: Summer to Autumn   Every year it’s always the same… ‘How is it 8.30pm and it’s dark?!’ A few days later… ‘How is it 8.15pm and its dark?’ 72 hours later we look outside and say with udder disbelief… ‘What’s the time? Is it only 8.10pm and it’s dark already? I can’t believe it! How has this happened Jeremy?!’ It seems we get a bit of summer (usually 3 weeks or so), forget that the seasons change and then cannot fathom that the sun goes down earlier and earlier each night, even though it happens every year without fail. ‘It will be Christmas before we know it Jeremy! Jeremy?! JEREMY are you listening to me? I said it will be Christmas before you know it, it’s 8.10pm and it’s dark outside!’   The change from summer to autumn hits us hard, we don’t want to give up summer and autumn comes like a pumpkin pie in the face, but it’s all ok I’ve got your guide for How to get through the changing seasons: Summer To Autumn 1.

What were you doing 17 seconds ago? Did that take you 17 seconds to think about? And another 17 seconds again? Though, admit it, most of it was spent trying to come back with a witty answer?!  3 cans of baked beans have been sold in the time it has taken you to think about all that...unbelievable right?! You can use that to impress your mates at the pub later, you will be emailing me to thank me when they have bought you a pint for enriching their day. While you are in the pub, you might even come up with something genius like the best advertising slogan of all time. Which is totally possible because in a London pub in 1967, Maurice Duke came up with ‘Beanz Meanz Heinz’ which in 2012 beat Nike’s ‘Just Do It’ as the top advertising slogan.

Say 'ME' now

I needed a reminder today, I needed to ask myself some questions and really listen to my rational self, well, the the most rational part of myself that I have.

30?! How the bloody hell did that happen? Just yesterday you were handing your fake ID over to a bouncer in town fluttering your spider lashes and dancing around your handbag till 3am (ok the dancing round the handbag bit might still be valid), but you are now going into your 3 rd decade and with that comes the expectation that you should know what you are doing in life... Ha, yes.... SHOULD, but most of us are still just trying to make it through the day   without getting arrested, sacked or dumped,  to repeat it all again tomorrow. So this blog is going to help us all as we go into our 30's and beyond, we are in this together!  Let's smash our 30's...
