My colleague made me an aeroplane for my birthday. He’s been away, so I received it yesterday. He explained the technical aspects and showed me how it works. Two days later I still haven’t managed to actually fly it.. ..which he finds hilarious 🙂 Especially because, way back when, he was in exactly my position. […]
…thou shalt decorate thy house. It doesn’t matter what else needs doing, all will be dropped, it’s time for decorations. Do not miss out any opportunity to put lights up No space is too out of the way for a statue or two…
It’s the 25th of November. That makes it exactly a month until Christmas. I am ignoring that, and all other Christmas related things. Between now and then, I have: 4 exams to revise for a book to finish compiling and find pictures for and format and send off in time for printing 3 aquariums to […]
I had an idea at the beginning of November. People thought it was good but the people in charge thought we should put it on the back burner for later. For a couple of days it was prodded and stirred. Then it was put aside, to rest and wait for better weather. At some point […]

Now, I’m not so sure…
Ok, I get it. You don’t like goodbyes. I don’t think I know anyone who particularly enjoys them. You were – and are – well and truly finished here, you did your time, you ate the cake, you packed your coffee cup, you were ready to leave. There’s no real sensible reason to hang about […]
One I wrote a long time ago (mid summer, sometime) and never got round to sending.. *** Until recently I’ve always been a bit, I don’t know, snotty about yoga. I first heard about it 15 years or so ago when it was propagated as ‘not a good thing’ by the church youth group. I […]
I would much rather have regrets about not doing what people said, than regretting not doing what my heart led me to and wondering what life had been like if I’d just been myself. – Brittany Renée (Just to fill a bit of the gap before I finally post one of the million half-finished posts […]
My dad’s arms are this big! My dad’s are much bigger – and stronger.. Mine’s been training; working out and everything. Mine’s been training for 10 years – chin-ups every morning before work. Mine’s got legs like trees Mine doesn’t bother about his legs – he says no one can see them in the club. He’s […]
I just spent the best part of 2 hours in a queue 50+ people long, waiting for someone to give me a ticket number for an approximate-time appointment in October… Gotta love beaurocrats!
