And so that was Christmas. And what have we done? Well, bugger all other than eat and drink actually. On Christmas day alone I gained an astounding 5lb. This sudden weight gain combined with the sinking feeling that many of last year’s resolutions will have to be rolled over to this year, has kick started […]

Hope everyone’s having a restful time of things today. I’m a bit drunk already. More soon.
So I have aged another year: no longer able to call myself an early twenty-something. Comfortingly, paranoid glances in the mirror reveal that crows feet are still a long way off. On the other hand, it seems neural degeneration has commenced in earnest. The most adult conversation had whilst making dinner this evening occurred after […]
So I went go-karting. I crashed. It was fun. Then my foot swelled up for a couple of days and got better. Then a rib on my left side started hurting and has been painful since - I can’t lie flat or lie on that side without some considerable pain. Ibuprofen provides some respite but […]
Having spent a couple of days visiting Sheffield and Wrexham, I have returned with:
A beef and mustard sandwich
A Sega Mega Drive in original box with one controller and Sonic The Hedgehog
A 61-key Yamaha keyboard
A midi hifi system from the shallow depths of 1999 with two(!) tape decks, minidisc *and* three CD changer
A new set of […]
In December I set myself a set of goals for the year ahead. Just over four months in, things are looking OK:
Get fitter, enter and run a half marathon
I’ve entered the Great North Run on September 30th, and I’ll be running for Sue Ryder care. So far my training schedule hasn’t set the world on […]
Some notes on my trip to California:
Stranger than Sherrybaby
So I was watching Stranger Than Fiction on the trip to LAX, and getting quite engrossed in the lightweight story about Harold Crick (played by the affable Will Ferrell) and his love interest Ana Pascal (played by Maggie Gyllenhaal) when all of a sudden, Ana - a […]
Guy 1: So have you seen Sunshine yet?
Guy 2: Nah, not yet. What’s it about?
Guy 1: Oh, y’know, it’s a bit like Solaris. Kindof boring drift through space with some weird stuff. It’s not action, it’s not even a thriller.
Guy 2: Doesn’t sound great.
Guy 1: The worst of it is that Chris Evans is in […]
23°C in Ealing today, so the first 99 of the year was consumed.
Things I noticed whilst buying my sugar high:
A medium 99 with a flake and a little bit of strawberry goop now costs £1.60.
Ice cream men all look the same: curly mullet and massive hands.
Strawberry goop still not on sale as a delicious treat […]
Americans replace their toothbrushes on average only 1.9 times per year. Grim. But how often do they go out of town, even for a day or two? Forgetting your toothbrush and having being forced to buy a new one might end up solving all sorts of problems to do with plaque nasties.
Just a post-travel, pre-Easter-chocolate-fest […]
