Musical Reflections #10 – Ideal World

When people ask me about my musical taste, I usually say that it is varied. I am sure that if you have read the rest of my Musical Reflection series you would agree. (Apart from having two songs from 'Wings' which surprised me.) Normally, I might like one or two songs from a group or …

300 Posts Later, How Has My Blogging Changed?

It is funny that I am sitting here writing my 300th blog post on this site. I have had other sites in the past, but this one has been the one that has kept me fulfilled and also been a cathartic way of expressing my anxiety and my struggles with it. I thought it only …

The Anxious Mind: Buses

Buses are a great way to get around, they are safe, better for the environment than cars (apparently), and they can transport a lot of people at one time. I have used them many times, and they have always been comfortable and…well, sometimes clean. That is what my rational mind thinks, my anxious mind thinks …

Musical Reflections #9 – Live and Let Die

Here is another song that has some special meaning to me, there are actually two versions I like, so I will be showing you both. When I was young, I started a love of bond movies, one movie in particular was my favourite - Live and Let Die. I loved the exotic locations, the action …

The Anxious Mind: Burger Vans

People who know me, know that I don't like burger vans, it isn't that I don't like the food, it's just that I don't like the idea of them. Whenever I pass one I always think that they smell nice, and I think that I might like to try a burger. It would be quite …

VerifiedCBD Anti-Anxiety Oil Review

I received this product to trial and review; all opinions and thoughts are my own. As you may know from reading my blog, I have been suffering from Generalised Anxiety Disorder or GAD and Emetophobia for most of my life. Although I have had moments of low anxiety in that time, I have predominantly had …

Musical Reflections #8 – Lord of the Dance

I attended Purley Oaks primary school in South Croydon for a few years, and I have many memories of my time there which is quite unusual for me. I remember going to camp and not liking it at all, I remember my mum working in the kitchen which was actually quite nice, and I remember …

Musical Reflections #7 – Band on the Run

I have mentioned before that my memory isn't good, especially around my younger years. There are only a few things I can remember, and some I'm not sure are real memories, or those created from stories my mum told me. One thing I do remember is when my brother Neil Daws was heavily into film …

Musical Reflections #5 – Oh Yeah

My musical reflection this time is more of a musical remembrance because it's a song I haven't heard for a long time. You know it can sometimes happen that you are in a shop or listening to the radio and a song will come on that you haven't heard in a while. You then suddenly …

Dad, Can You Help Me Please?

It is a question that every father hears at some time in their lives. The desperate call of their child asking for help with complete confidence in their father’s ability to deal with whatever it may be. So, this is the question that echoed up from downstairs as I was on the computer. The rest …
