I’ve had a small wooden box of CDs in the house for about 10 years now. I hadn’t realised (until today) that I hadn’t imported them into iTunes. Well, what I have been missing – easily the largest set of 5* ratings in a group of CDs that I have. Actually, I need to spend […]
Is it: The weather (cold and raining), The culture shock (back to the UK) The fact that it’s so bloody difficult to get anything done here (1.5hrs on the ‘phone to BT) End of year tired (like usual) Jetlag / lack of sleep (which is the case) Or maybe all of the above ? I’m […]
I’m drained, that’s the only way of describing it. I’ve been away from home for nearly 2 weeks and not had a break (even at the weekends). Just feels like a constant grind with zero enjoyment. The good news is that I’ve managed to clear a lot of stuff, but feeling really really tired. I’m […]
I rarely have dreams, or as someone pointed out, rarely bring them into focus so I’m aware of them. Regardless, they are always nightmares, tend to be when I have too much sleep (rare) and usually are influenced by something in the past/next day. What I always find interesting is the (high) level of detail […]
I had to grab a form for re-direction of mail yesterday, so I logged onto the Post Office website and then typed ‘moving house’ into the search field. Behold- a whole load of random crap comes up about mortgages etc. Why can’t people stick to what they are good at ? Why must everything be […]
A new term I thought of this morning to define things that I see and need to blog about, specifically things that are irritating/funny. Well, today’s trip involves going to Cambridge rail station, then sitting on a train into London, so I’m absolutely sure there will be ample fodder… Upper Crust, Cambridge StationA particular ‘favourite’ […]
Just 2 days back in the UK and I’m back to the grind of 13hr days in the office as there feels so much to do. I’ve been tired as have gone to be too early and waking up at 3AM the past few mornings. I’m not sure if it’s worth getting back on a […]
I just logged into Facebook and noticed a posting for 2009 Freshers Week at my old University. After some mental maths (I love working with numbers in my head) I realised that I attended that 18 years ago. Then the real heart synching moment set in – most of the people attending this years event […]
Sitting here at a Starbucks in Cambridge finally relaxing. It feels like a few months of meetings, late nights, weekends away, and lots to do (the other night I felt pretty down as there just didn’t seem to be any stop in it). Finally having some relaxation time this weekend… * Snow Leopard – just […]
Stuck in the lounge and lady on reception having issues with this guy who obviously doesn’t speak English. Of course she does the usual British thing- talk slowly and of course he’ll understand. It was so annoying I decided that Babelfish needed to come to the rescue !… Την πτήση σας καθυστερούν στις 20:50. Η […]
