Ye Gods and Little Fishes!

A quick update: Should Leaving the  Grey Room on Blogspot disappear for any reason I have a backup prepared at Leaving The Grey Room on WordPress. At the moment I’m keeping the WordPress version private to avoid duplication issues but it’s one mouse click away from being live. I owe that expression to my beloved [...]

It was recently suggested in a comment that I seem to have been a somewhat difficult child, prone to temper tantrums. To a certain extent that’s true but isn’t entirely fair to my young self. I was, by nature quite a sweet tempered boy with a very lively sense of fun and a penchant for [...]

Checking I had my fags, lighter and wallet (contents a pound) I opened the window. Our house had almost been designed for this. Being the only boy in the family had predetermined that I’d get the smallest room and my window just happened to be directly above the front porch. Scrambling out onto the small [...]

I probably won’t be posting anything until after Dad’s funeral next Wednesday. Everything has suddenly got a lot more complicated and I’m getting pretty depressed about the whole situation. If it wasn’t for the fact that I’d never forgive myself I’d abandon the whole idea of going. For a long time I’ve been angry about [...]

Stunned! Yes that’s a pretty good word to describe how I feel at the moment. Stunned and, in a strange way, relieved. I’ve yet to work out exactly why I built that wall but it was clearly intended to last a lifetime and for all it’s coming down is forcing me to re-evaluate my whole [...]

You might have felt a distinct  lack of sympathy when I spoke of the punishment I suffered for swearing  in front of my mother and to a certain extent I don’t blame you. I broke an absolute taboo when I used that word and had always known what the punishment would be although I’m still [...]
