If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I thought things might have calmed down post Christmas, but here I am in a smart shirt and trousers, with more smartness hung up behind me, ready to go out and pick up Trevor and Jon. Helen’s getting married.
So […]

December is a bad month for journalising. I’ve done a tour of my links and several of them haven’t updated since before Christmas, so I’m feeling a little better about the fact that this is only my tenth entry this month.
It has been a fun month, though. Next month will be full of January blues […]

Somehow it’s boxing day. I’m not quite sure why or how we got here so soon, but there you go.
The sun is doing its best to blind me thorough the window, but outside it’s still so cold that the little puddles left in the unfinished road in front of the house have frozen over, and […]

And so the party season draws to a close. Monday night, dinner with the ladies. Today, an afternoon off for the team lunch.
So, Monday night. We started off at Alphabet Bar, as we always do, but after a quick skirt around the periphery it was clear we weren’t going to get to sit down any […]

Christmas is over. I’ve finished the shopping, everything is wrapped and now all that needs doing is the dishing out and opening up.
And the eating, of course.
Most of the parties are finished. Some of them earlier than planned, including Thursday when Ross, Will and I ended up at the pub as soon as dinner was […]

Is there any chance at all of my staying awake through tonight’s party? I’ve barely been home this week and it’s starting to show. I’m sitting here all baggy eyed drinking mugfulls of coffee in the hope of staving it off for a few hours more.
I slept on the train this morning, which is something […]

It’s December which means that as usual Gordon is off doing extreme things as a way of avoiding the Christmas shopping:
Just nipped into a cybercafe in Varanasi, so thought I’d drop you a quick note! Having a wonderful time - India is quite amazing, although full-on! The traffic is constant noisy chaos, and the incessant […]

And another week gone so soon.
I switched to gyming in the evening after the bus-vomit-trousers incident. I didn’t want to risk being that full of energy that early in the morning again this week. I wish things weren’t so hectic at the moment. Then I could stay for longer than an hour at a time, […]

I gymed this morning for the first time in a shameful number of weeks. I blame the house move, but was still surprised at how hard going I found it.
Nonetheless, I got that post gym buzz that makes you do stupid things. The first stupid thing was to get on a horribly crowded train and […]

Happy Birthday, Jenny. We celebrated by getting all blurry at La Perla.
And I was only going to stop for one…
