I find myself at the end of an annoyingly unproductive weekend. It doesn’t help, that I seem to have a cold which is sapping my creative energy, as I drift listless from task to another. I never wrote about it…
Continue readingI’ve seen this meme around my friends page for a while now. It’s taken the till now for me to get tagged into doing it, and this through the audacity of bege_ who decided to tag me first and then…
Continue readingI am forever gobsmacked by the ice dancing. I mean, I realise how it is they do some of the moves – that its all about pivoting one on/against the other – but just how do they get in and…
Continue readingWhy is it that whenever there’s anything half-decent to watch on tele, it clashes with something else good on tele? As has been aforementioned in these pages, tonight there is episode two of BBC1’s drama The Virgin Queen, ITV are…
Continue readingDespite the mild annoyance of broken digiboxes and middle-of-the-night-pukings, yesterday was actually a good day. In the morning, I headed off to Abingdon for a spot of swimming. I upped my lap total to 44 lengths in c. 50 minutes,…
Continue readingThere isn’t really a question. Not only are gas and coal power stations choking the environment but we are running out of these non-renewable resources. We have to go nuclear. That said, it’s also not the whole answer. We have…
Continue readingOkay, maybe not ‘near death’, but a serious health and safety issue. There I was innocently having my lunch downstairs in the canteen today, someone had just left, and so I moved up the table by one seat, and minutes…
Continue readingIt’s occurred to me today, that, after the events of yesterday, I should feel really, really pleased with how I did. I’ve never ever done a formal presentation before (unless you count my lamitable attempts at college where I would…
Continue readingThere were a few comments today about my shirt and tie attire. I just shrugged it off as, yeah I’ve got some meeting. Yeah right, I wouldn’t believe me if I told me that! But anyway nothing more was said……
Continue readingI have just eaten a very tasty yet simple hunter’s chicken stew or Jamie Oliver’s Pollo alla cacciatora. Last night, I was asleep by nine-thirty, I think because of my swimming earlier in the day… Today, I ahve been mixing…
Continue readingPreviously on… 9th January 2006, at 11:24pm; the magic was with me. Conjured from boxes of carved bone and Black Death, Helen was creating magic and displaying power. But I had written my 500+ words, and it was a schoolnight,…
Continue readingAs previously reported, the words came back to me on Friday night – which is weird. Normally Friday night’s exist in the calendar of my life as the day when words escape me. Maybe my subconcious has made it’s own…
Continue readingA leisurely end to the holiday season – I have been swimming, done my week’s shop and bought some very nice little foody treats to see me into the new year 🙂 and now I have retreated to my warm…
Continue readingGirls always say that they like a nice guy; that they just want a nice guy. So why is it then, that nice guys never seem to get the girl?
Continue readingWind gusts sheets of rain across the deserted forecourt under a leaden-grey sky. A van with blacked-out windows stands alone by the petrol pumps with it’s tarpaulin covered trailer buffeted by the wind and the rain. Within the service station,…
Continue readingBack when dreams were dreams, and college was something in the future, I thought that Editorial or Commissioning Editor was where I was pointed. Then I did my publishing course and I tempted in some publishers and saw what goes…
Continue readingThe road ahead is on, not back. So last week, I had the finale, the curtain call to my probationary period in my new job. It was nothing that I did not know already – I have been finding the…
