What a week. I decided that I needed BBQ for dinner tonight. I love lamb, but people the UK insist on marinating it with mint (I hate). My local butcher does some great lamb, taking a normal rack of lamb and cutting it into individual cutlets. In this case, they only had a few left, […]
I’m so tired right now. I just wish I could hibernate. I must admit the bad weather makes things feel a little cosy. I just wish I could sit on the sofa under a blanket drinking hot chocolate whilst watching something good on TV. Then comes the reality check- I’m having to be stuck in […]
I’m sure I blogged about this last year, but I just got the invite to a Fresher’s Debate at University. I now feel old. It’s funny that you still recall things from those days and also how our senses trigger memories. I was in a meeting at one of the Cambridge colleges the other week […]
I had to get out the office for some fresh air at lunchtime. This resulted in a walk to Cherry Hinton – a local village near work. For those not familiar, it’s a bit of a slum. I once came up with a challenge to make the walk more interesting where you’d walk through to […]
Actually, the winning joke I didn’t find funny. But some of the others are. You can find the source here.
I had a good chuckle when I saw a link to this on a journey planner: I love the nonsense excuse they make in 1970’s BR speak “Network Rail, who provides the timetable information has introduced a new computer system”. Now we all know that system probably was in development since 1985 and therefore it […]
It’s funny to look back over the past years and see how technology has changed things. I feel really old when I recall the first time someone showed me ‘the web’, but then I realise that the innovations aren’t that old, it’s just that tech changes at a very very rapid pace. I often have […]
I realised Friday that it’s been so long since I’ve been properly outside. That sounds like someone who’s been stuck in prison for a while. Well, that’s kind of what it’s felt like I guess. I just feel that I haven’t had good amounts of fresh air for quite a while. As I write this […]
Never thought about this before, but people who are larger get much better value for money when it comes to clothing ! Shops don’t charge different prices depending on the volume of clothing !
I was thinking of the title ‘Young and the restless’, but realised I’ve probably crossed the threshold now ! Woke up at 2:30 this morning, thinking “I think I’ll go into the city” – unbelievable. I really do need to just sit and rest, but on the other hand I feel as though doing that […]
