Who am I?

My name is David. I am a married Father of three and bottom of the pecking order in a home that includes - at the time of writing at least - two dogs, two cats and a hamster. Or maybe it’s a guinea pig. I’m not sure. Her name is Izzy and she is the shape of a mouse.

What is Diary of an Ordinary Man?

Once a week, I turn the small disasters of my family life into something funny enough to make you feel better about your own.

How often will I publish?

Every Wednesday to help get you over the mid-week hump.

Occasionally I will go quiet for a couple of weeks when the pressure of putting words on a blank page becomes too much.

Why am I doing this?

Someday I would like to write a book about my life but because I don’t know how to write properly, I’m using Substack as a training ground to figure it out as I go.

How can you help spread the word and get my page seen by more people?

How thoughtful of you! Subscribe to my page, engage with my content or tell one person you think might relate to it. Here is a good starting point, a story I wrote a few years ago when my wife and I were young dumb and broke, travelling across America and almost not living to tell the tale!
