Just Me
New Years Eve, well that another one almost done, they don’t make them like they used to. It’s turned out a lovely sunny day but still got the log burner on for the cats, fast asleep on their scratching post just few feet away. I know I waffle but I don’t think I can put it off any longer. Me, I’m just John, worked in engineering as a process control tech, stayed on for five years, loved the job and the people. I love to chat, probably too much sometimes, often put foot in mouth, say silly things and ‘shoot from the hip’ It’s me, I say it how it is, I consider that other people deserve to know. Other failings, gosh, where to start, perfectionist( my occupation), pedant when it comes to English(written/spoken), Oh here’s a good one, looks, my brother was born with the brains, my sister with the looks (she still looks like a film star at 80), I had what was left over. How I wish I had those good looks but then maybe…. But I digress, I love ‘people watching’, I can be quite impatient in many ways. I leave everything to the last second, I like tidy, I can’t stand clutter. I prefer the company of ladies (I’m not the footie macho type) I’m a softie with a heart of glass, there I’ve said it! Let’s stop there it’s looking all too bad for me!
On the other hand, Ahh, I’m honest, loyal, animal lover (dog and four cats) and love to chat. So there I am, for better or worse I am Just John
P.S. I’m dyslexic, dyslexia rules KO.

Happy New Year and hope youre dreams come true
Many thanks, happy New Year to you also.
John, you write from your heart, open and honest. Wishing you a Happy New Year.
Hi Jenna, thank you so much for your kind words. ‘Open and honest’? I do my best but let no one think I’m perfect, I not. I have done things in my life that I’m far from proud of but I deeply regret and strangely cause me pain. Maybe there’s a moral in there somewhere. Anyway, wishing you all the very best for the New Year.
Hi John, you are welcome. We learn by our mistakes, no one is perfect. Life is a learning experience.
Wishing you all the best for the New Year as well.
Hi Jenna, that’s easy for a girl to say, us blokes? I’m not sure we always do, well I don’t anyway.
Yes, but you are judging yourself John, you are being too hard on yourself. lol
Hi John. Welcome and a Happy New Year to you. Love your introduction, I love real people and I too can tell a long tale. Try not to judge my abuse of the English too harshly. I hope you enjoy our little community.
Thank you so much tjay? Your English is just fine, in my experience the people who ‘murder’ English the most are the English. In this country we seem to have transplanted National pride with hate filled jingoism. Mostly my generation believed in Love and I still do in spite of the pain it has caused me through the years. Peace and Love, what’s not to like?
Oh, And you have the happiest of New Years also.
