Sometimes knowing is good. Sometimes not knowing is better. Sometimes not knowing is terrible. Sometimes knowing is. I’m not sure what kind of time this might turn out to be. I currently only know that I don’t know. This knowing-about-not-knowing is more knowing than when I didn’t even know there was something to potentially know […]
I went and it was ok. And I think it highlighted (highlit?) just how much I should’ve booked a couple of sessions a long time ago. But anyway. Late is better than later 🙂
Rest-posten Laden (shop for all kinds of unsold ‘leftovers’ from other shops) Me, holding a slim white folder at the checkout: Any chance you have any more of these folders? Cashier, without really looking up: Only what’s on the shelves, sorry.. Me: Ok, no problem. Do you know if you’ll be getting any more in? […]
You never know, I might even write something every so often this year…
“Thank you” he said, wrapping the second tissue around the small stack of slightly soggy crumpets. “That’s really sweet of you.” He looked at me, “this is the sort of thing I’ll still remember in 10 years..” He paused and looked briefly at his feet before looking up again, “..I wonder what I’ll be remembered […]

Dear well-loved and sorely neglected Blog, I haven’t forgotten you, even if it feels like it. I missed you. I will be back next year. Jesse xx
I have a cycling jacket which I wear when I go cycling. I have a coat which I wear when I go anywhere (outside) without my bike. If I am likely to be going anywhere after cycling, or cycling when I get somewhere, I wear one and take the other one with me. Today, I […]
Once upon a time, a handful of years ago, I learnt to drive. I was given a car by a friend of now ex-DB’s which I drove until it (more-or-less literally) fell to pieces. Then I sold the pieces and started riding my bike instead. It’s been a couple of years since then, and I […]
This is actually happening. (argh! / yippee! / um?) More details later, when I have more time to write properly.
You know what the best thing to do is, when you have a to-do list a couple of miles long and more deadlines than you can remember? Yup. You add something else to the list. Something with an even closer deadline, and with even more at stake. Not going to say what it is yet, […]
Happy Newish* Year people! I realise I’m a bit late to the party.. (if I were Chinese I would be only be days instead of weeks late..) ..but I hope you can and do choose the kind of new year you want to live in and then really live in it. While we’re talking about […]
I’m back at my parents’ house for Christmas. The friend from school I hadn’t seen in something like 16/17 years was home for Christmas too, making this the perfect time to meet up again in person. The original plan was to go to a pub for a drink, but I’m not a big drinker (or […]
Today started with a Christmas lecture held by one of the professors I work for sometimes. It ended with me handing my notice in. These two things are completely unrelated, except for their joint ability to make me smile when I think about it 🙂 About to celebrate with chocolate ice cream. More another time […]
I recently bought a couple of things from ebay. Having the tracking number is part blessing, part curse. I would like to say I’m a patient person but in reality I’m not. I refresh the DHL app’s tracking page as if that would make it arrive more quickly. As if it knows, the delivery date […]
