Picture the scene- sitting outside a pub around 9PM. Table service. Guy comes up to take order: Person in our group: “Red Wine Please” Tender: “Small, Medium, Large ?” Not quite the normal question you’d expect !
A thousand words ? No, 37.2C to be precise: Nice UK house designed to retain heat is doing a good job today…
Today really was a scorcher. I stupidly decided to wear a jacket to the meeting this morning which didn’t help matters (I felt I looked like a ragamuffin without a tie). The trip back from London really was a killer- far far too warm. Upon arrival in Cambridge it wasn’t bad. Then really spicy food […]
I bother you once every 2-3 years for a supply of allergy tablets. I sent you a fax 5 days ago with clear instructions of what I needed (I don’t want to sit in a surgery full of sick people). Yes, I know it’s not the generic brand medicine, but it’s hardly the latest cancer […]
It’s funny that I can always picture which major Scottish city a building is from, even with a small snapshot of the brick. In this case: Edinburgh (and I was correct). It’s something about the relatively small sandstone bricks that makes it easy. Then there’s Glasgow: Large sandstone. A really nice image and a very […]
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 […]
Woke up at around 4AM is morning feeling really stuffed up and eyes killing me. Decided to head into London and I’m feeling so much better. It’s amazing just how bad the environment can be in terms of allergies- most people crave for the countryside at the weekend- I crave for the city and pollution!
That’s an understatement. Allergies are getting me down quite a bit right now. Over the past few years I really thought I had grown out of it, but now I realise it was just down to bad summers ! I hate feeling like this. Not helped by living in the one of the worst areas […]
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 […]
I don’t really follow football, save for the odd game I’ll go to when in Scotland or (more common) on a stag weekend. Scotland aren’t in the world cup, therefore genetically I am programmed to support any time that opposes England. However, I’m not as critical of the England team as the papers are this […]
