1. Today was our departmental Christmas lunch, and an altogether different affair to the ones that I have been used to. In the past we have decamped work at midday for some city-centre restaurant, and there remained until the early…

Continue readingSurely it canât be right that one has to defrost oneâs car at the end of the day as well as the beginning of the day? Itâs damn cold out there.
Continue reading1. Today I headed down Newbury for my Web Designer interview. So, say they were looking for several people with various levels of experience, so I thought this sounded quite good. I found the place okay, or be it on…
Continue readingA couple of monthâs ago I gave Emma her birthday present early. Sheâd just had her bike after all (a joint birthday and Christmas pressie from her folks) and so I bought her some lights for the bike. But that…

Continue readingToday has been a bit lazy, although we did venture out to Stowe Landscape Gardens. Defeated by going in the gardens because of high winds (although curiously the NT tea rooms situated in portacabins amongst tall trees was open?!) we…
