Woke up with the strange feeling I was supposed to be in a meeting in Ireland. No sign of any angry emails about missing a flight when I got into work, though, so I guess it must be the 18th of next month. Took the dodgy east European chocolate I’d bought in Prague into the [...]

Apart from two short breaks and a brighter evening, yesterday was a massive storm from beginning to end. The only time I can remember rain like it was standing outside Kyoto station holding an umbrella over Gordon while he took a picture. That time, my camera had got full of water and stopped working. This [...]

Well of course I can’t summarise a week away in just one diary entry. How I managed to make it all the way to Prague without any socks (at all), though, I don’t know. The food was better than last time - plenty for the non-meaties, and everything was still very cheap - 12 hours [...]

Three hour show tonight (7pm - 10pm) to mark the election, which reminded me to perform my civic duty before leaving for work. Wandered over to the community centre in the village square (first time I’ve seen it from the inside) and put a pencil cross in a box. It struck me that there is [...]

I really should go on holiday more often. I have been so productive this week, and it’s only Wednesday. Finished editing a section for the October issue this morning, and we’re only just closing August.

Had an email from Tony yesterday. Tony is a good friend I’ve not seen or spoken to in about a year. That probably makes you wonder just how good a friend he is, but he’s one of those people you can tell anything. He is also an advocate of vitamin C overdoses. Today I called [...]

Still wide awake at two this morning having mild panics. I think I overdosed on vitamin C. I took five tablets at 1,666 per cent of the recommended daily allowance (83 times the recommended daily allowance) on the basis that you pass out whatever you don’t need and I don’t want my sore throat to [...]

Spent much of the morning in bed. Quite how I managed to stay up until half two last night I don’t know. Had breakfast and lunch more or less back to back and spent what was left of the middle of the day ripping MP3s to take to the gym. The music channels seem to [...]

Spent the first hour of the day standing like a flamingo in the middle of a room of Chelmsford housewives.
