Welcome to my Personal Blog. Have had a wonderful life which has been a roller coaster of Adventure. Keeping Positive and full of hope in the sad days and sharing the good ones. Living In Buxton Now and Loving Life. #Marvellous
Well The Weekend Did Me Good. Stop Think & Get My Energy Back.
One Minute I Was On Tour Doing My Show Biz Thing. Gave It Up To Move to America To Have a Family. Moved Back To England With Them & Lost Them Back To America.
So On The Way Lost Contact With Friends, Was Too Busy To Make More In Ivybridge Until This Phase In My Life. So Out Of Ashes The Rise Begins.
Well It Has Been A Very Odd Time Since I Waved The Children Off To America.
Have To Say I Have Been Lost & Not Known What To Do, Three Months Has Just Disappeared.
Thanks To A Good Friend Sarah & My Neighbour Gunny I Have Survived.
The Radio Channel did not take off as quickly as I needed it too, so was faced with the fact that there is no work around here for a person like me. It looked like I would have to give up everything & head to London. Very bad for the children as they would have lost their roots here.
As luck would have it I have managed to find some Night Work to boost the channels coffers.
More Importantly save to see the children.
It Gives me a routine so I can manage the channel better.
It has been dreadful one minute up and next down. Not Good for Broadcasting. The Channel was set up so could work & be there for the children. So without them it has been hard to go on.
This Morning I Was Going to give up.
Well I am not giving up. Spoken to the Team that support me & plans are in place to get back to it.
The Children Need A Happy Dad that shows them that no matter what happens, you brush yourself off & use your talents to make things happen.
In These Troubled Times, It Shows That Two Massive Wars, Many Governments & Characters Doing Their Bit For The Good For The Human Race; Nothing Has Changed.
On The Positive, It can Change, But Only If We All Do Our Little Bit.
Well Was Up With The Crows Looking At What Needs To Be Done. Taking A Quick Five Before I Get Back Too It.
Not Spoken To The Children Since August 19th, So Do Not Like Taking Any Down Time, (The Mind Wonders)
Some Great Ideas Came To Me Last Night. I Can Not Cut Back Any More From The Budget & The Radio Is Not Bringing In The Cash Fast, So Onto Looking For More Freelance Work. The Ideas Will Keep Until The Money Is Raised To Launch Them
Not A Great Positive Start To The Week, But On The Case.
Went On A Parks Inspection Yesterday As Cllr Charles Lloyd.
We Had A Look Around Victoria Park & LongTimber Woods.
All Was Good & Very Pleased To Note There Was Very Little Litter.
So What Is Happening Charles?
Well The Children Started New Schools Over In America On Wednesday & I Have Not Had A Chance To Talk With Them Over On FaceTime, So Part Of Me Thinks It Is Missing.
With The Troubles At Lloyd Mansions Last Week The Day of Rest Much Needed.
Any Plans For The Week.
Yep, Funding The Channel Is Becoming A Big Issue, So Looking At That Big Time And Hunting Out A Part Time Job To Bring In Some Extra Money.
Looking At Downsizing Lloyd Mansions, As It is Going To Be A Long Time Before the Children Need To Stay Here And The Money Would Be Much Better In A saving Account Ready To See The Children.
Yes As The Days Go On Getting On A Plane To See Them Is Looking Rather Hard, But Not Impossible!
Here Is Some Vine Fun.
So What Are Your Plans Charles?
Well Keeping The Radio Channel Going Is Filling The Free Time I Would Have Had On My Own. Plus Giving That Energy Needed To Think. No TV, Just The Social Media & Radio Save Me From The Depressing News.
So Looking At Ways To Control All Spending. The Channel Is Not Designed To Make Money, It's There To Promote. So As I Looking For Projects To Air And Other Projects Are Being Looked At To Raise Money.
TheCharlesLloyd Enjoying The Sunshine Through The Window.
I Enjoyed Making This Video Including Two Marvellous Drama Vines.
So What's Happening Charles?
Well Yesterday Was Not as Productive As Needed, A Few Tec Issues Came To A Head Over On thecharleslloyd.com Have No Fear It Should Be Fixed Today. A Show Is Still Running.
A Side Note When Opening A Business, Open When You Feel It Is Time, Do not Bow To Pressure. This Way Of Launching With the Public Seeing How Everything Goes, The Pitfalls & Summits Make Us More Real.
Very Excited Today, As I Should be FaceTiming The Children. Not Spoken To Them Since Ian's Birthday In Mid August, So Bursting with Excitement. Getting To America To See Them Is The Goal. So Back To Work For Me.
Yes Electro Swing Certainly Helped Me Through, A Good Friend Is Unwell This Weekend, They Like To Be Ill In Peace, So Keeping Myself Busy Spreading The Positive Ready For When They Are Back To Health.
So What Is The Electro Swing About Charles?
Well It's The 1920 Sound With A Marvellous Beat Behind It. Find Myself Dancing Around Lloyd Mansions On My Own To It, It's That Good. Over On Vine Jablz And I Had A Loose Chat About Presenting A Show To This Fabulous Vibe.
So What's Happening Personally Mr Lloyd.
Funny You Should Ask. Since Getting Stuck Into The Radio I Am Managing To Cope Better With The Missing The Children Part Of My Life. The Ideas Are Starting To Come to Me Thick And Fast, Bringing Focus Back Into Life.
