I hate Spiders. Okay, they serve a function to eat flies, but I still don’t like them. Living near fields doesn’t really help and I’ve seen plenty of them around the house recently. Often when I’m sitting ready I see one run across the floor. I miss having a cat who used to love chasing […]
After 6 months of solid work, I’ve finished my current project deliverable. It’s been a tough 6 months and easily the most stressful of my working life. However, I have the next week off work to relax. It’s funny how you go from something hectic to nothing and then wonder what to do ! Yesterday […]
Decided to go into Cambridge today to get some air and out my 1 mile radius of work/home with the purpose of trying to take my mind off things. I’ve never felt so ill- a mixture of cold, stress, and sore stomach. Well I did get out, but going into town at peak time and […]
I officially know what stress is. The past week I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night. Last night I woke up with pains in my chest. I realised for the past 7 days I’ve not moved from a 1 mile radius of work and home. I need a lifestyle change as this […]
Okay, I think I must win a prize for the sadest person in the world right now. I fired up Safari and for some reason ‘buses’ appeared in my head. I’ve just spent the last 15mins surfing looking at buses for sale (including ones that I rode in as a child). Thankfully my garage, nor […]
Spotted this outside one of the windows – very very large marrows being grown in the garden next door. I’ve never seen these in the outdoors.
It always amazes me how windy is gets in Cambridge – I guess it’s something to do with how flat it is. Still, the one thing we don’t have is horizontal rain that I’m used to having lived in the west coast of Scotland. Here’s a short video showing how a typical day can turn […]
I rarely watch TV nowadays due to lack of time. However, this afternoon I’ve fired up the Apple TV and also watching some random stuff on Freesat. Well, Minder and The Professionals. However, what bothers me is the ‘Meerkat’ ads. They just really irritate me with their silly put on accents and dumb stories. Why […]
I feel down and bored right now. Not quite sure what it is, but I just feel restless I guess. I’m kicking myself for not getting into the city early and just getting out of my 2 mile radius of life (the trouble of living near work). I just wish I could click my fingers, […]
I log on to BBC News this morning and the headline news article is “Five Chilean miners ‘depressed’”. The story goes on to tell how a group of miners who have been stuck in a collapsed mineshaft are suffering depressing. Is that really a surprise and worthy of the headline ? I think it shows […]
