Brasenose, Oxford, England, Earth, The Milky Way, The Universe
I went to visit Baby #2 in Oxford over the weekend which was really lovely. Oxford is so beautiful and historical, yet there is no reverence or reserve surrounding the city. The Students,… Continue reading
Phil, and some charming elderly people.
Phil (SLING) has developed a worrying limp. I’m starting to think he may not be cut out to be Indiana Jones at all. Then again, he has probably avoided death on countless occasions, so… Continue reading

An Hour in the Café, 9-11am
Hot on the heels of the last commuters come the ‘Yummy Mummies’. Or, as they should be more properly labelled; “Mummies: Assorted – some yummy”. In they come, in small herds, fresh from… Continue reading
October is the cruellest month
Winter is disagreeable to me. While most people go into raptures about layers and hot chocolate and mittens and snow, I spend the months from October through February being confused, ill prepared and peeved.… Continue reading

Fashion Embargo
As some of you may know, I don’t buy new clothes. I haven’t purchased a single item of new clothing for just over a year now. It’s kinda fun finding all the good… Continue reading
I have lost my passport.
I actually have. But, in other news, I’m continuing to, erm, persevere with the whole University idea. Making decisions has never been my forte. But we’re getting there, as per the to do list. Also,… Continue reading
The Problem with Budgeting
This is my current outgoings… (In the interests of full disclosure, by ‘trains’ I mean ‘trains to places where I can buy alcohol’, and by ‘sundries’ I mean mixers…) Never Mind. Never Mind. What… Continue reading
This post is a bit wordy, but there are pictures at the end.

Davies, Purchase and Hunter
In Summer 2008, I was twelve and I really didn’t care about the Olympics. I didn’t care at all, until I saw these pictures of David Davies in the newspaper. The long distance… Continue reading
