Morning Independently Published Morning Mist and Wobbly Cogs Paperback

Morning Mist and Wobbly CogsAlfie Thompson's brain has two speeds: "Sound Barrier" and "Damp Blanket."On a "Fast Brain" day, Alfie is a whirlwind of creative genius. He's the kind of man who decides to invent a new sport at 5:00 AM, tries to dry his son's PE shorts with a hairdryer (with disastrous results), and convinces his judgmental neighbor that wearing one slipper is an elite Swiss fitness trend.But when the "Fog" rolls in, the world becomes a heavy, grey place where choosing a yoghurt in the Bolton Tesco feels like a Herculean task.Between navigating a high-pressure job in "Human Logistics," surviving the passive-aggressive scrutiny of his mother-in-law, Val, and trying to be the superhero his seven-year-old son believes him to be, Alfie is just trying to stay level.With the help of a patient wife, a community of "Wobbly Cogs," and a gallon of North West tea, Alfie is about to learn that you don't have to be a perfectly oiled machine to keep the world turning. Sometimes, it's the dents and the wobbles that make the journey worth taking.A heartwarming, hilarious, and deeply honest look at life, family, and the beautiful chaos of a "variable" mind.
