Well, winter is finally here and Christmas is round the corner. How do I know this? Because I spent the weekend on the boat, meandering down the canal, drinking mulled wine, and trying to avoid frostbite. Up till now I have been denying the season, and have managed to do so successfully because I don’t [...]

It is a sure sign that a girl has reached the end of her tether when she signs up for a dating site. Yes, this is me admitting that I have signed up for a dating site. Looking at it one way, the internet has played a significant role in most aspects of my life [...]

The following is reposted from my back-up blog, BM2. Whilst it is not the most cheerful thing I have ever written, it is part of me, and it feels wrong not to have it in the proper archives.
What follows is one of those times when blogging for me really is therapy. Feel free to look [...]

It’s been a month now, or just over to be counting true, that I have been living in the city of the dreaming spires. I figured now might be a good time to have a look back and see how it has all gone.

You’ll never [...]

Edrei tagged me a fair while ago, unfortunately landing his request slap bang in the middle of the summer from… Well, not hell exactly, but definitely the summer from chaos.

Yes, I am still alive. I am moved to Oxford and about 90% ensconsed in my small, but perfectly formed, new abode, tentatively to be called Palace Meadows. There is a story, and when I am not huddled in a library to use the internet, I will share it all I promise.

It’s been a rather packed week here at Meadow Towers:

I got offered the Cambridge job - unexpected!
Much deliberation later (thanks peeps for listening to me ramble) I turned down the Cambridge job - eek!
