Breaking from the travelogue for a moment, it appears that Japanese scientists have captured the first ever photographs of a living Giant Squid! Kinda creepy, huh ? Apparently though several have washed up on beaches from time to time, the beastie's never been seen alive, and the photos give insight into its hunting methods. Previously…
It is *so* good to be back. Have been a bit flat out to write anything (and believe it or not, I've only checked my email like 4 times since I've been here !!), so I'll try to give a quick synopsis before popping off to bed. Flight from Singapore was “interesting” – got sat…
I just discovered, I can't write much from this phone. Can't upload photos, neither. Probably just as well, really. Singapore, here I come!
I can now write blog entries from my mobile. THIS is just what the world's been crying out for…
Last night Mr Wombat and I went to Camden's famous Jazz Cafe to see a gig by Medeski, Martin & Wood. Contrary to the sound of it, they are not a firm of solicitors who moonlight as jazz muso's. It was the first time I'd been to the Jazz Cafe, and I guess I was…
…seem to be “bugger all”. Or at least that's what my chances of getting a ticket to this are, it seems. Mind you I only just found out it was on, so I don't suppose that's cause for being *too* upset.

I could have sworn that when I left work on Friday I had a nice quiet, relaxing weekend planned. Friday was *supposed* to be popping out for a couple of beers with Ciaran to celebrate his birthday and his new job, however part way through the night I randomly ran into Andrea from my old…
I saw an asian woman (I'm guessing Chinese or Malaysian, but it's not really relevant) standing outside Mornington Crescent station this morning, gesticulating wildly to her interlocutor. Having seen this sort of thing go on before, I assumed that she must be speaking in sign language. A little closer, and my suspicions were confirmed, as…
First thing – credit where credit's due. I stayed at Richard & Clarissa's over the weekend, and I'm happy to announce that I've discovered The Best Shower in Britain. Oh my god, it was awesome ! Proper water pressure, nice hot water, no bizarre tap balancing ritual, and a solid screen which meant not having…
