Impulse Buy

Um, oops? I just seemed to have impulse bought a nice new green iPod shuffle.
Yes, I have no self control.
And yes, I do already have an iPod (my beloved third gen, four year old lovely).
So why do I want a new iPod, especially an iPod shuffle that only holds 240 songs when [...]

Bleck

Life is not fair. I have this entire week off from work and I had plans damn it! So not interesting plans (sleep, catch up on college work, sleep, maybe watch unhealthy amounts of dvds, read some, go to the gym, sleep a lot more), but plans that I was looking forward to.
Then what happens [...]

Sunday Roast: here I stand with a blank expression

It’s been a good week for me which culminated in a night out last night that really shouldn’t have left me feeling as blah today as I do. But I feel blah, so I’ve blown off going to go see Blood Diamond with Moose to stay home, write the Roast, listen to Lifehouse and drink [...]

It’s a boy!

The Latvian Lovely gave birth on Tuesday to a lovely baby boy (9lb 3oz - every woman I’ve spoken to kinda goes “ooh!” and winces in sympathy at that point) called Eriks (pronounced Eric in English).
We went round and saw him this evening - he is quite the cutest thing. I know people say that [...]

It’s the potential of the [...]

Sunday Roast: I feel like dancing

So the Roast is more than a little late (sorry). I’ve also got to apologize for the complete lack of blogging this past week. I’ve got things I want to say, just… My writing mojo is currently AWOL. To be honest, I’m having such a blast living my life that I just don’t have time [...]

Update

Gar.
No, I’ve not forgotten you. I’ve not forgotten the Sunday Roast either. Just hang on a moment whilst I hunt round Meadow Towers for my mojo. I know I left it here somewhere…
(Yes, my will to write has temporarily deserted me. I’ve got things I want to tell you all about but, well, I’m actually [...]

Sunday Roast: Write Your Own Roast (1)

Well, I thought I would be back in time today to do a late Roast, but I’ve been detained in London slightly longer than planned with Boat Shows and building kitchens. Therefore, I would like to introduce you all (or remind you of) a Great British Tradition - Do It Yourself.
Fanfare please…
Write Your Own Roast
