Well here I am, at the half way mark of when my dissertation needs to be written by, and needless to say half a dissertation has not yet been written. Still, this was to be expected as anything even remotely related to me always takes the most unlikely of courses, so I would be a…

I think it’s a sign
I love our basement at work – it is an awesome place and I’ll use almost any excuse to visit its maze of secret passages, gloomy corridors, curious cubby holes and also for a chance to peer at the enormous safe housed down there with its supersized door and chainmail security gate more fitting to…
Life is out there
I have been experiencing a strange sensation of late in which I have lost all concept of time. I only realised it was the beginning of April this week after a colleague cunningly hid a whoopee cushion on my chair…. You see currently my life is organised only by university weeks and when assignments are…
A Friday Night Post
Well, it’s the end of the week and I would be lying to say if the situation has improved. I am sitting here on a Friday night at 22:01 reading ‘Participation or Pathology: Contradictory Tensions in Area Based Policy’. What is more, Neil leaves for America on Sunday, so instead of reading my Planning Policy…
When even dull is interesting
It is extremely difficult to find words that will not bore you, when in fact all that I have to say bores myself.

The Tipping Point
Game of Festive Twister Happy New Year and I hope you had a very nice festive break!Despite the week rushing by far too quickly, Christmas at our house was a jolly affair with lots of friends, chips, dips, games of twister, silly films, paper crowns, walks, evenings out and even an extended visit from the Plumber after our hot…
Sticky Stuff
Seven days seems like a long time having not put fingers to keyboard here and I’ve missed it. Indeed, it has just been one of those most irritating sort of weeks where there has always been something demanding my immediate attention – leaving me absolutely no provision for carrying out any essential maintenance tasks such as eyebrow sculpting, moisturising elbows or engaging in full body exfoliation (my plan is…
The fate of Graham
Thursday 4th October 2007,11:27am. There is one mini muffin left in the box at work, One mini muffin all alone, I know it has calories in it I shouldn’t consume, but I’m desperate to give it a home. I’ve called it Graham – you see my thinking is, I won’t eat it if I think it…
