I feel embarrassed due to a purchase I made earlier at the newsagents. No, my hands didn’t wander to the top shelf of the magazine counter and purchase something. Actually I bought a copy of the Cambridge News ! The front cover story caught my attention and I needed a little light reading this morning […]
Just reading a Sunday Times article about Audi now equipping service engineers with head cameras and the ability for customers to be able ask them questions. That’s perfect for Cambridge Engineers (who all drive Audi cars). They can now fuel their other passion- the ability to always do things better- I can just imagine commentary […]
A long day at work. I got home and decided to cook some lamb. Stupidly, I realised I’d left the BBQ on and so ran down a complete large gas cylinder (doh). No problem. Le Creuset comes the rescue (great pans, bit of a pain to clean). Finished dinner and sitting in the garden enjoying […]
Watching a TV program a few weeks back, it made a reference to a book called “The Sloan Rangers Handbook”. I tracked down a copy (on eBay), just spent a few minutes browsing through it. Come across a section on Universities and guides for the local town. Laughed out loud when I came to Cambridge, […]
Saw this at Boots earlier today, I assume they ran out of English only signs and so had to pick up some from the Boots in Cardiff. Alternatively, maybe they expect a large increase in Welsh tourism in Cambridge ?
Yes, I was one of those people who stood in a queue for an iPhone. The plan was: Leave house at 7:15, arriving Cambridge City at 7:30. Go to Grafton Centre Store. The Grafton Centre is a total dive in Cambridge, but the O2 store isn’t as busy, plus the staff historically there are excellent […]
One of the benefits to living in a village, compared with the city, is seeing local wildlife. I recently had cause to throw a box of muesli out in the garden. Okay, I was irritated since the only muesli I have managed to find that is ‘basic’ (i.e. not got load of random stuff in […]
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, […]
I have a new favourite food. A new Chinese has opened up in Cambridge and it is fantastic. I’m actually at the point where I don’t feel I have to go into London to get decent food. The Peking of course is great and I’ve blogged about that before, but I find the ambience a […]
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 […]
