For everyday thoughts and reflections.
One day while I was minding my own business I got to thinking what it would be like to be Superman but on a day when I couldn’t be arsed to save the world or do anything remotely super-hero like. This is what I imagined that may look like (and yes, I did write the…
To my knowledge only two pictures of me in a gym exist on the interwebs. That’s because I never take my mobile phone onto the gym floor with me. I’ve unwittingly ended up in live streams by Tik Tok’ers (etc) because every stick insect thinks they are a bodybuilder/fitness guru these days. Anyway, this one…
This is me in my natural habitat, grinding out another session… The headphones stop people coming up to you asking how many sets you’ve got left 🙂
When I run uphills, I keep going until I start turning into Kate Bush. So far that hasn’t happened, which may be a blessing in disguise. Join me up said hill and when we get to the top we could have a picnic or something…
At junior school, I used to sit next to a girl called Suzanne. Believe it or not, at school, they used to put two of us on washing up duty in the teachers staff room. Suzanne was always the one I ended up on duty with and she was a decidedly hard worker. Whatever she…

It’s probably about time I did a post all about the features on this site, so people don’t end up confused. First off, here’s the navigation Menu: It won’t look like this on mobile, but all of the items will still be accessible (okay, ‘serious Dean’) Home, Who Is Dean and Contact Dean are self…
Yesterday I went to my grandparents ashes plot at the cemetery. Last time I visited was 2019, which feels almost embarrassing for me to write. I don’t know why I haven’t been more often, it’s just one of those things I guess. We also went to visit a mutual friend who died around 3 years…
There are certain people I spare a thought for every day, even though they are no longer with me. My grandfather is one of them. 35 years ago now. I still think about him and I still miss him. Here’s a picture of me with him when I was a kid: So far it’s been…
Before I forget, I did a thing. I added a feature on my site so readers can leave me a note instead of logging into their email. These things are always fiddly and it sort of works like a poor mans version of AOL/MSN Messenger, except I’m not always online. Anyhoo, this is where it…
