Large lunch today, so decided to try and skip dinner. Of course watching TV I see an ad for bacon and the hunger sets in. Decide that I will do bacon for breakfast tomorrow, so instead think ‘chips’. I call the local kebab shop (2 mins walk away) and order, told 10 mins. I’m thinking […]

Okay, so it feels like Winter now. 1.7C outside this morning. As I stepped out the house I felt ‘mmh, this feels quite nice, a fresh chill in the air’. A few minutes later (with a reasonably thick jacket on) I felt ‘no, this is cold’. Thankfully I have 3 trips to warmer places planned […]

I still feel tired. Not sure why, but again this morning I just wanted to stay in bed. I guess in part it is the weather, that feeling of being nice and warm in bed and not wanting to get out of it !

Just reading an article on the BBC news website. Snakes found near commonwealth athletes village. Now, that would be a surprise if the village was (say) in Wiltshire. But the fact that it is in India, where snakes are commonplace surely shouldn’t come as a surprise. The BBC never used to be full of such […]

I’ve failed big time. Why why why didn’t I bring a Mac. My inventory of tech: * Blackberry – faithful companion. Always seems to work regardless. Example of something designed for a simple purpose (calls and corporate e-mail) that always works. Oh, apart from the bug that shows text messages coming from the wrong people […]

I woke up this morning feeling better in many ways, and finally a bit more motivated. Sketched some ideas and notes that have been running round in my head for a while but I just couldn’t get to paper. Yesterday I spent some time in London, the majority of which was spent outside. I realised […]

I watched the environmental disaster in Hungary tonight on the news. It’s strange, but for some reason seeing something inland makes much more of an impact. Also, just seeing the landscape and the colour of the pollution makes you realise just how bad things are. I listened to the comments about specific chemicals being an […]

I feel so tired the past few weeks, a number of factors I think. Hopefully next week will be better !

I came across 2 situations in the past few days that ratified 2 things about myself. I so wish I had a camera phone growing up. As one of the first people at University with a cellphone I’ve always been a really early adopter of technology. Yeh, maybe taking pics when a bit tipsy isn’t […]

I woke up this morning early, a little dizzy head due to drinks and dinner in town last night. Dinner was nice, but I don’t think I enjoyed it as much as I should have given the mixture of drinks consumed over the night. Hoegaarden, Stella, Red Wine, Frozen Black Irish Cocktails don’t really do […]
