The beauty of having a special pen that scans your handwriting as you go is that you can jot down stuff anywhere, as you think of it. Provided anyone can decipher your terrible handwriting…
Is it time for a Birthday Retrospective? Y’know, one of those “what were you doing 1, 2, 5, 10, 15 etc. years ago?” things? I think so. Game on! 1 year ago – 2010 (34) – Hannah, Paul, Kathryn & I went for a frightfully civilised dinner at The Athaeneum on Piccadilly, quite a lavish…
Here’s a quick update of what I’ve been up to for the past few weeks – work have sent me over to the USA, and though I’m nominally in “New York”, I’m not situated in an office block on the corner of 42nd and Madison, or anything. Despite not being in the thick of it…
My biggest kodak moment Originally uploaded by *ice What happens when you combine the occurrence of the Aurora Borealis with an erupting volcano, and manage to be in the right place at the right time?

Magnificent, isn’t it? After a long day out & demanding evening, it’s possible – thanks to the wonders of modern domestic science – to enjoy a healthy and balanced pouch of nutrients, and though the diagram on the front looks terrifyingly wholesome, the preparation method is actually a lot simpler than you might initially suspect!…
Was making a coffee in the kitchen at work just now, and for some reason the following sentence popped into my head: You put snot on the ball? Stopped me dead in my tracks, that did. What relevance does that have to anything? After a moment’s pause, it occurred to me that it was a…
Hello Dolly isn’t typically the kind of musical I’d embrace, in my jaded old age – written in the 1960s, it very much embodies the fanciful & superficially wholesome stereotypical thing which kinda irritates me about the entire genre. You know what I’m talking about. As soon as the curtain goes up the scene gets…
