Well, as many of you may have noticed, it started snowing last week. My car was buried in snow and my road wasn't cleared or gritted so I found myself working from home Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. It was mostly quite productive ( Read more... )

Well, with the help of two Grande Chai Tea Lattes (loving that you can now get Starbucks coffee on Milton Park) I managed to survive my first day back in the office. I would still ideally like to spend tomorrow hiding under my duvet, but appreciate that asking my employers to pay me to stay in bed isn't overly reasonable. (Feel free to insert your ( Read more... )

Hey, it's been a while since my last post, so thought should write summit. Ok, ok, I'm supposed to be Christmas shopping and I'm procrastinating. It's only fair, it should - by rights - only be August at the moment. August 2008. Not December 2009. I should also be tidying up my room cos it is a bit of a tip ( Read more... )

Hello, it's the weekend. This week seems to have been really long for one reason or another and I'm delighted it's over. I'm wondering how sad it is that it's ten past ten on a Friday night and instead of being out partying it up, I'm sitting at home contemplating going to bed. Even more disturbing, I'm actually quite happy about this. Think I must ( Read more... )

Hello, I don't really have much to update with. Some family stuff been going on, but all seems to be sorted out now *grabs table and yells "touch wood" fairly loudly ( Read more... )

Hello, it's been a little while since my last post. This might be a little incoherent as my monitor has decided to switch itself off every few seconds and I got bored with turning it back on again so am typing blind! Truly a test of my secretarial skills, am sure you'll agree ( Read more... )

Hey kids, six months ago, I put together a list of stuff to do this year and said I'd do an update in six months. As it has been six months, here is an update. :)

1) Go to at least two countries. Well, so far I've been to The Netherlands and Germany, I'm going to France next month (admittedly for work, but still!) and will be heading straight over ( Read more... )

Those of you who follow my LJ (I think there may be two of you) will notice that I haven't posted for the last month. This is largely due to the fact that a lot of terrible things have been happening to the people in my life whom I care about and it's all been horribly sad. I therefore haven't really wanted to dwell on it here ( Read more... )

I've just enabled the facebook thingy so posting this to see if it works!

Most people would wait until they had something to say in this situation and I really don't (other than that my old school Nokia charger is hiding and it's very annoying as I want to charge my old phone) however I shall persevere in the name of science.

Well, Berlin was awesome. For those of you who are interested, there is a full account of my adventures on Facebook - check out the photo album with informative captions. I've booked a place on a German course which starts in a few weeks which I'm looking forward to - hopefully I'll be able to communicate a bit better next time I'm there. Cousin H' ( Read more... )
