Today is the first time for about 5 months that I’ve woken up and not faced a deadline. It was nice to wake up at 6AM and not leap out of bed. Watched a bit of breakfast TV, had breakfast, then into the office for 7:35. I reckon there’s a complex equation that defines your […]

Sitting in Starbucks Cambridge. I got up early is morning as I had to combat the jet lag. Last night I took melatonin so I could sleep. I hope it won’t last. It’s like something out of a Nazi party planned village as I sit here. The same cloned families with the same attitudes, clothes, […]

This weekend is when the usual Strawberry Fair happens in Cambridge. This year it’s been cancelled due to various reasons. I’m actually quite glad as from what I’ve seen it’s when the great unwashed descend on Cambridge. There’s enough annoying people in Cambridge, so why encourage more ? As a result of it being cancelled […]
