Sooooo.... I have been lurking muchly. This is mostly because life has consisted of:

• rowing
  
• working

• trying to organise a wedding...
  

which mostly sums stuff up. However, I feel the need to point out that Bumps starts today and I am more nervous than I think I have ever been. It's not just that we're racing. Oh no. I can deal ( Read more... )

This evening, I feel I have achieved something. I managed to convince foreigners (including a Frenchman!) that English cuisine is not all rubbish. Yay!

In other news, I have mostly been rowing a lot and not doing very much work.

The End :-)
