The weather has been cold over the past week. I say cold, as opposed to frozen, as it isn’t actually that cold. There’s no wind chill, and until recently no snow on the ground to create a fridge style atmosphere. It never fails to amaze me how the country shuts down, but that’s another posting. […]
Work dinner night before last. There was a secret santa – I’ve never done this before. However, I did receive a somewhat funny gift from a colleague (I knew instantly who it was as soon as I opened the wrapping paper). I generally eat breakfast (muesli) from a pint glass. The reason is simple – […]
90mins left to go of stress, before I can finally relax. Over 2 weeks holiday looming – amazing how views and mood change knowing that !
Yep, I know it’s sad. But I’m finally on the train into London. The highlight of my week ? Fish and Chips on the way home, that’s assuming the cab driver will be willing to stop and wait for me (remember this is Cambridge, things aren’t dictated by the usual capitalist desire to make money). […]
I feel so drained right now. It’s been a tough week, not helped by being sick for the first 2 days, and not having much energy the following days. I’m stuck in Berkshire right now having gotten up at 5AM to get here for 9. I have no idea when I am going to be […]
I’m finally feeling better. My dumb blog post on Sunday proclaiming feeling better was true at the time, but somewhat optimistic. Monday morning arrived and I was lousy. Monday night was better, but this morning I still didn’t feel right. I can’t remember being bed ridden, but having no energy to do anything really sucks. […]
I’ve come to realise that perfume ads seem to be the most creative and clever. Of course it’s no accident that they create a sense of mystery, glamour, and of course sex. The casting seems far more clever than a film- with about 30 seconds I guess you have to ensure you have the right […]
I’ve had the cold over the past few days. It feels like so long ago since I’ve felt so bad, where you don’t have any energy and can’t be bothered with anything. Thankfully today I was in London which made me feel much better. F&W coffee is just so amazing- it tastes like no other […]
They always joke about people in this part of the world having strange genetic defects due to inbreeding. I used to joke that around here the machines they have for measuring your feet (well at least they used to when I was a child) had a height dimension on them due to people having different […]
Sitting at my desk listening to some music and reading the Sunday Supplements. I’ve realised that reading them in the evening with a nice glass of Whisky makes for a very pleasant end to the weekend.
