The Day Of Rest For The Charles Lloyd

Yep, it is the day the clocks go forward. The night before, frustrated with the IT stuff I had Over dosed on coffee & watched too much Modern Family of that is possible. So a late night plus the clocks going forward lead me to wake up two hours later than normal. I sleep with the curtains open and let day light wake me, alas this was a dull grey morning. I got on with my normal Sunday stuff in good humour.
I harp on again, the IT, Geek, Computer Stuff Had Really Clouded the Brain, so only one half hearted Vine was published. Sadly as you can see here I was not even in the mood for blogging. 

I have to confess to almost giving into a smoke just after lunch, the thought of the amount of work I had ahead of me & the fact most of it was new gadgets to learn I just went to hell with it. Good thing was though no meat and no booze. The children were spending the night and when the sun did come up in the late afternoon we played in it. Trying to get them down to sleep was hard as of course the clock had gone forward, but hey we did it.

Not a lot to report on this day, sorry guys. Next week is on the way. Thanks for the read.

Saturday in the midst of 40 days


The Great thing about the NHS is the nonsmoking help you get. I am finding the gum & the patches a great help. The dreams I have been having are brilliant, as I put the patch on before bed this brings on dreams. Not good if you suffer with nightmares, but I have been blessed with having action dreams. So I am traveling the world & visiting great places while asleep. Having the children stay the night was indeed another bonus so the Smoking section of the 40 days was right on track. Thanks to the children the products below and moi.


The children's mother had been out at a party the night before so most of the day we spent together. I was happy to be be taking a break from the brand, as the IT stuff had really over loaded the brain and it needed rest. Some people react well to being bullied to keep going on a mission, I am for better when allowing the brain to relax and then going back to it with gusto. The dealine is my own & the product so I guess I have the advantage. It would explain why I was no sportsman, I enjoy riding horses to get somewhere, and a good cross country run, but football, nah. I enjoyed a good game of rugby, but that is the only sport and of course swimming.

How did we get onto sport? Ok meat this puppy is kicking my Butt, since my trip to #Plymouth seeing and smelling cooked meat products being consumed I have found a craving about equal to smoking. So I am pushing up the nut intake and adding a vitamin B supplement to the diet. So hope that will quash it.

I live in the Centre of #Ivybridge, so a Saturday night can be loud. After dropping the children off back at their Mom's I passed one of the boozers in town only to hear two ladies who looked like that may have been in the pub all day having a heated chat about something I could not make out. So a smile to myself and a pat in the back that that night I would be avoiding the pub. With the overloaded head still with a bit of this damn cold, I took myself to bed ready for the clocks to go forward. 


A quick pic of a clock and a big thank you for the read. Have a great day, #thecharleslloyd of for a #coffee still getting used to the hash tag thing. See you later, cheers.

Hi The Charles Lloyd Here

Hi Not Posted Here for A While.

Yes I have been having a bit of a laugh with @antanddec and the #supercomputer. Back in the day I used to manage an Elvis and we went off to have a laugh trying to win a Holiday. Lots of people trying to grab a bit of fame with us. I was just having a day out and wanted to see if the playful Charles was still in me. yep he was. I was number 24 to have a go and I was going to have a good time. 
I am busy doing a 40 days Blog if you want to pop over there and have a read. A brand was born yesterday and I have a cold. So I have not been posting on this blog much. Have a read here if you have the time. Lot's of issues have been put my way and I am working my way out of them. Life is good, thanks for the read.

Being An Employer

So This Is Where I am At

Below Is A Photo Of My Fathers Factory

My Father had been a high flying Engineer and I had been a Number One Touring Stage Manager, Agent and Actor. We were both retired from our professions and were hand Printing Tshirts and Hoodies for local groups. I have children and thought Devon was going to be the place to slow down, Dad retire and I keep the family Business going, doing the odd acting or theatre job. Good Plan I thought.
Well as I have mentioned on this blog, my personal life took a tumble and while I was dealing with that, the staff that worked for us took it upon themselves to start taking over the roost & it became very much a them and us Place. Dad and I would have one plan and they had another. So my last few months with my Father were really stressful. Both of us confused why the pair were being so vile. I am in fact very bitter towards these employees of my fathers but will not let it eat me up. 

So when people come work for me now, rather than be all cold I am going to be more welcoming. I have a vision that I see them to be a part of, I have open Blogs for people to read in advance of joining me on a mission just what this Beast (me) is all about. There will never be a them and us again. If people want what I have, then go start up on your own, you worry about paying the bills & meeting to tax and insurance the state needs. I enjoy finding the money to keep a team going with the brand they are working for, as we are all working for the same thing. Now that is out of my mind I feel much better, keeping a personal blog makes sense. Thanks for the read.  

The Countdown To A New Brand Starts Today

As #Ivybridge Wakes Up

Very excited about the New Brand and the preparation for it. Months of study and finding talent to put it all in place has been going on in the background as I have gone about my daily routine.
Meanwhile I am running a Blog  Press here and have a look about Moi doing a 40 days & 40 nights Personal test getting ready to Launch the Brand, Healthy and ready to rock.
Have a read and join in.
